Problem:
The client is experiencing 404 errors when clicking on video titles on the Spanish page of their website. They are unsure if they need to adjust WPML settings or rewrite rules to resolve this issue.
Solution:
We reviewed the provided code and links. Here are the steps we recommend:
1. In your rewrite rules, use a string directly for the slug, like this:

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ), // my custom slug

Currently, your code is:

$args['rewrite'] = array( 'slug' => 'video-center/%project_category%', 'with_front' => false );

2. Translate the slug directly in WPML → Settings to avoid conditional code based on the language. This simplifies your setup and ensures consistency across languages.
3. Create and add custom rewrite rules as you are modifying the default behavior. Detailed instructions on how to do this can be found here:
