Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the language switcher not displaying correctly on the main page after resetting the templates. The switcher appears, but there are unwanted styles such as colors and frames. Solution: If you're facing similar issues with the appearance of your language switcher, it might be due to your current theme applying specific styles to the dropdown. We recommend temporarily switching to a default theme to verify if the issue persists. This step helps isolate whether the problem is with the theme's styling. For detailed guidance on resolving styling and CSS issues with language switchers, please visit the following links:
This color issue was part of the theme's dropdown, so it was resolved by editing the menu template, navigating to the style settings, and changing the color to white for the Submenu panel style.
Remember to backup your database before making any changes.

Problem: The client reported an issue where a category that should be hidden in all languages except Hungarian was visible. The client suspected a WPML database issue and mentioned using WP Fastest Cache without resolving the problem. Solution: We advised the client to first clear the website's cache using the WP Fastest Cache plugin. We also suggested checking if any product was incorrectly set to the 'uncategorized' category for the Hungarian language, correcting it if necessary, and updating all plugins requiring updates. Additionally, we explained that the 'uncategorized' category is a default that cannot be deleted unless another category is set as the default.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with CSS styling changes not being applied correctly on your WPML translated webpage, follow these steps to resolve the issue. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation. 2. Click on 'Show system fields' and search for any items that include 'css', 'style', or 'styling' in their name. 3. Set these fields to 'Copy' or 'Copy Once' if they were already set to 'Copy'. 4. Return to the original page/post, make a minor modification (such as adding an extra space), and save the post/page. 5. Edit the translation and save it as it is. 6. Check the styling on the translated page. If the issue persists, you might need to set additional fields like 'page_options' to 'Copy' in the Custom Field Translation settings, as these fields carry custom configurations for each page, including design options.

Problem: The language switcher on the product page only shows the default language because the page is missing its translations. Solution: We recommend checking the page for translation completeness. If you encounter warnings such as 'There's an issue with automatic translation' or 'Fix it to continue translating automatically', you should address these by clicking on 'Fix it to continue translating automatically'. You can then choose to either resume the automatic translation or opt to manually translate the page. Ensure that the translation progress bar reaches 100% before saving. This should allow the language switcher to function correctly in the secondary language on the front end.

Problem: The client added a new language to their website but the menu did not translate, and the language was not appearing in the language switcher. Solution: First, we asked the client which language they added and if they had translated the menu into this language. We explained that if the page is not translated into the newly added language, then the language might not appear in the language switcher. We provided a link to our documentation on how to translate menus: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/
