Problem: You are trying to build a custom PHP language switcher for your site using WPML but are unable to find the example code or documentation previously available. Solution: We recommend ensuring that you are using the latest version of the WPML plugins, specifically version 4.8.1, which includes the latest bug fixes and improvements that might address your issue. You can check and download the latest versions from My Account -> Downloads on the WPML site. If updates are not visible, you may need to click the 'Check for updates' button in the Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab. Always remember to back up your database before updating.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Problem: You are using the WPML SEO plugin and have noticed that HREFLANG tags are not being automatically added to the HTML head section of your site. Solution: We have updated the WPML SEO plugin to version 2.2.0, which now includes HREFLANG tags directly in the sitemaps instead of the HTML head section. This change improves SEO by simplifying your site's HTML. You can confirm that the HREFLANG tags are correctly implemented in your sitemaps by checking your site's page source. For more details on this update, please visit WPML SEO 2.2.0 documentation.

Problem: You have switched from the Classic Translation Editor to the Advanced Translation Editor and updated your homepage, but the translated page is not visible on the frontend. Additionally, in the backend for both translated languages (English and French), the cog icon is showing instead of the pencil icon. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Edit your database using your database manager, for example, PhpMyAdmin. 2. Search for the icl_sitepress_settings and wpml(Setup) keys. 3. Delete these keys. 4. Go to your site's dashboard. 5. Configure WPML. 6. Try to translate a page without changing the settings. Please ensure to backup your database before proceeding with the above steps.
