Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate content from Serbian to English and German using WPML on my site hidden link. I encountered an error related to the Elementor plugin while attempting this translation.
Symptoms:
Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier "�" in /home/elviramodestconcept.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/document-types/page-base.php:187
Questions:
How can I resolve the fatal error related to the Elementor plugin?
Is there a compatibility issue between WPML and Elementor?
What steps should I take to successfully translate content from Serbian to English and German?
Also please check if the problem occurs on a minimal installaiton or not:
- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.
- Switch to the default theme such as "TwentyTwenty" by going to "WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > themes".
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except Elementor, WPML and its add-ons.
- Check if you can still recreate the issue.
- If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem.
And one final thing is that you need ot make sure Elementor plugin is up to date.
