Hi,

Regarding the disturbed blog page design — one common cause could be that some templates used on the page haven’t been fully translated or adapted yet, especially if the theme or builder relies on template parts (like headers, loops, or archive layouts). This can lead to layout inconsistencies or missing styles.

It’s also possible that the page is pulling in default or outdated template files that don’t match the current styling of your site.

Could you please confirm:
- If the blog page is using a custom or theme-provided template?
- Whether all templates (especially those used for blog/archive) have been translated and styled accordingly?

Feel free to share a screenshot or link — we’re happy to take a closer look!

Thank you for your feedback.

Please upload any relevant screenshots or links that would help illustrate the problem. I want to ensure that I fully understand the issue at hand so that I can provide the best possible solution.

It would also be helpful to show how you set up the blog page.

Please update your WPML plugin and add-ons to the latest version, 4.7.3, to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements. This may not necessarily resolve your problem; however, we need to work on the newest code available to troubleshoot the issue best.

You can check the latest released versions under "My Account -> Downloads" on this site. Instructions to update can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/

If you do not see the updates, you might need to click the Check for updates button in the Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab.

Make sure that your current theme is also updated to the latest version.

Please remember to backup your database before you proceed.
