Tell us what you are trying to do? It has been awhile since I created a new page on this site. I just did so a few days ago and am now looking at the WPML English language page, which has problems. Specifically, for the creation of this new page, I used the plugin, Yoast Duplicate Post. Then I proceeded to change the content on the page and proceeded to publish it in the original French. Upon opening the English page, the WPML interface is presenting several problems: 1) It is showing some content on the left side which corresponds to the page which was duplicated, as opposed to the new content o.0n the duplicated page. 2) Very little content is showing up on the left side - most fields are empty. This is the link to the original French page: hidden link |

In looking at other pages, I can see that all of my WPML interfaces are broken. For example, I went to the backend of this page (hidden link) and found out that most of the content is not in the WPML interface. I ook forward to hearing from you about what I should do. All the best, Reed |

Hi Reed, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. 1) Would you please let me know how these pages/posts are created? Do you use a page builder or custom blocks? 2) You mentioned that the old posts have the same issue now. Please let me know if you have updated any plugins/themes recently. Best regards, |

Dear Osama, I created the pages with a page builder. It has been several years since I have used the WPML interface on this site. Since then, I have update WPML and many other plugins, as well as WordPress a number of times. Best regards, Reed |

Hi Reed, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. Best regards, |

Osama, Also, please note that I made a backup two days ago and have not made any important changes since. Best regards, Reed |

Osama, I sent you the wrong FTP password. Can you send me a form for a private message again so that I can change it? Thanks, Reed |

Hi Reed, Thanks for the access details. Could you please complete the translation and check if the translated page will work correctly on the front end? Best regards, |

Hi Osama, I have done and saved the translation. However, I am unable to visualize the front end. I am now seeing several problems: 1) When I go to the original French page on the front end (hidden link), and switch to English, it takes me to the English translation of the page (hidden link) that I duplicated to create the above page. However, the link that is showing is different: hidden link. 2) On the backend, in the Custom Fields section, it is showing the metadata text for two pictures from from the original page that was duplicated (again, hidden link). Best regards, Reed |

It seems that part of the problem is that I created the original French page using the "Duplicate Post" function! |

Hi Reed, I published the English page. Please check it here. (hidden link) Also, you can check it using the language switcher. Kindly let me know if it works as expected. Best regards, |

Thanks, Osama, The page looks very good. However, the H1 needs to be centered. I did so in the WPML translation interface and saved it, but the change in not showing up on the front end. Reed |

Hi Reed, The translation was not completed, so the changes weren't saved. I saved the translation, and it works correctly on the front end. Kind regards, |

Thanks, Osama, The front end is looking good! However, I just made a change on the French page and then went to put that into the translation, but those fields are not showing up (even though they were there before). One of the two fields in questions has this in French: "<Notre histoire". It is near the bottum of the page. Reed |
