Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where an unwanted language code prefix (e.g., 'DE', 'FR') is automatically added before the 'FREE SHIPPING OVER' text in the announcement bar on non-English pages of their multilingual website. The English version displays correctly without any prefix. Solution: 1. We recommended inspecting the Elementor templates by navigating to Templates → Theme Builder/Saved Templates to locate and edit the announcement bar widget. 2. Check the widget’s 'Advanced' settings, specifically the 'Before'/'After' fields, for any dynamic tags or shortcodes that might be adding the language codes, and remove any found prefixes. 3. Update the template after making these changes. 4. Search for related strings in WPML → String Translation and make necessary edits if the prefix is present in the translations. 5. If dynamic tags or custom PHP hooks in the child theme are conditionally generating the prefix, these should be reviewed and adjusted as needed.

Problem: Клиент обеспокоен возможной несовместимостью WPML с темой ClassiAds и хочет убедиться, что WPML будет корректно работать с этой темой, включая перевод пользовательских полей, таксономий, виджетов Elementor, категорий объявлений, внутренних элементов темы и URL-структуры. Solution: Мы проверили наши записи и обнаружили, что тема ClassiAds не проходила официальное тестирование на совместимость с WPML. Это не означает, что она не будет работать, но мы не можем гарантировать корректную работу всех функций. Рекомендуем выбирать темы из списка официально протестированных и подтверждённых на совместимость: https://wpml.org/theme/ Также можно выполнить поиск в интернете по запросу "WPML + [название темы]", чтобы узнать о совместимости. Например, другие продукты того же автора, такие как Classified Listing Pro и Classified Listing Multilingual, были протестированы и подтверждены как совместимые:

Problem: The client reported issues with the language switcher on their website, where they often had to click twice on the French (FR) icon for it to switch languages, and sometimes it would revert back to English (EN) when navigating to another page. Solution: We recommended enabling the footer language switcher as a potential solution to improve the responsiveness and accuracy of language switching. Detailed guidance on setting up the language switcher can be found here: Language Switcher Options. Additionally, we suggested testing the language switcher functionality in different browsers to determine if the issue might be browser-related.

Problem:
When saving Automatic Translation settings in WPML (and other plugin settings like Hostinger Tools), client received a "Some error occurred" message. The settings were not being saved.
Solution:
During the investigation, I found that .htaccess file contained a custom "Trailing Slash Redirect" rule that was interfering with WordPress REST API requests.
This rule was forcing all URLs to end with a trailing slash (/), which caused:
- REST API POST requests (e.g., /wp-json/wpml/v1/save-automatic-translation-settings) to be redirected with a 301 status to the same URL with a trailing slash
- The browser converted the POST request to a GET request during the redirect (standard HTTP behavior)
- The REST API endpoint returned a 404 error because it doesn't accept GET requests at that URL
This affected all plugins using the WordPress REST API, not just WPML.
I modified the existing trailing slash redirect rule in .htaccess file to exclude REST API paths (/wp-json/).
Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where two subscriptions are created when a customer purchases a product bundle consisting only of a service charge, instead of just one. This happens when WPML is enabled, and the issue does not occur in the default language (Norwegian) but appears in other languages. Solution: We identified that the 'Smart Coupons for WooCommerce Coupons' plugin might be causing the issue as it has not been tested for compatibility with WPML. We recommend reaching out to the plugin's developers to confirm its compatibility with WPML. Alternatively, consider using the Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce plugin, which is fully compatible with WPML and might suit your needs.

Problem: The client reported that WPML was not fully installed on their second website, which was necessary for testing the carousel Media Translate feature. Solution: We checked the installation status and updated it accordingly. After the update, we confirmed that the issue was related to a validation problem, which we resolved. If you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend verifying that WPML is fully installed and functioning correctly on your site.
