<b>Background of the issue: </b>
I have translated my website about a month ago using WPML. Back then everything worked fine, but now we have isssues. Some post templates, specifically the single case page, are not translating correctly. I use the ACF plugin, and the English version of the page is showing the Dutch template with English text fields. I have tried editing the English single case template in Elementor and saving it, which temporarily fixes the translation but causes the custom header to be removed. Disabling the header template does not resolve the issue. This is a critical issue for a client project. The issue can be seen at: hidden link

<b>Symptoms: </b>
The English page shows a mix of Dutch static text and English ACF field text. The custom header is removed when saving changes in Elementor, and the default theme header is shown instead. On Dutch pages, the default theme header is displayed instead of the custom header.

<b>Questions: </b>
Why are the English pages showing Dutch static text with English ACF fields?
Why does saving changes in Elementor remove the custom header?
Why is the default theme header showing on Dutch pages instead of the custom header?

Thanks for contacting us.

I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

While checking the debug info, I see that the WordPress Memory Limit is below the requirements. The minimum requirements are 128M, but we do recommend 256M and the debug information of your site shows it set to 40M. Please check this link for more details
https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/.
You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file, right before the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:

define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );

After adding the code you can confirm that the memory was changed correctly from WPML > Support > WordPress > Memory limit.
