I am trying to: change wrong links on the french menu

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link should be hidden link

I expected to see:

Instead, I got: Everytime we change a link for the french website, it doesnt work. Every changes are not taking into account. Seems like we are losing rpecious time by doing the same modifications over and over, and the next day when we check if everything is okay, there is a new issue and a wrong link. We are running marketing campaign on the french market and it's not acceptable that we spend so much time on the translations to have this kind of issues. Please help us by resolving this as quickly as you can.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. Sorry for the late response because of the weekend.

We hope you are using WPML Advanced Translation Editor for translating the posts/page and following this documentation for translating the links.

https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/

If the problem remains, please let us know the exact steps to reproduce the issue on your site. It would be great if you could share a screencast for a better understanding of the bug.

Please find attached screenshots showing you the modifications I made following the article you sent me. Changes are not taken into account, and I don't understand why...
I wrote the right url in french on Navigation 2, but once I'm in the French Home and I click on "Destinations", I arrive in the English url. Same for the "Destinations > Panama" and every page on the blog. I recorded a video showing you what I did but I cannot upload it here...

This requires more testing. Please allow me to make a copy of your site using the All-in-One WP Migration for debugging the issue on my local server. So we can troubleshoot the bug without affecting your live site.

Hello,

Please check the following screencast. I am not able to reproduce the issue exactly in my local copy or on your site now. It looks like a cache issue. So please clear all types of caches and make sure the issue exists or not.

Hi Bigul, it seems that it works right now. Seems like it was the "https" search on the translate management tool that we didn't do. Thank you very much for your help. We'll keep you inform if everything is okay once we did all pages with your process. Thanks again.
