You are experiencing issues with Contact Form 7 on your translated event page using WPML, built with Gutenberg and Kadence blocks pro. Specifically, dropdown fields in Contact Form 7 are not displaying correctly, the edit screen doesn't load properly, ACF Pro fields are missing on the translated page, and new translations are not appearing in the translation queue.

peter-rF	Background of the issue: I have translated an event page using WPML, built in Gutenberg with Kadence blocks pro. I created a Contact form 7 for registrations, and I have updated the ACF Pro fields and string translations. I have also increased my WP Memory limit based on forum posts. Symptoms: The dropdown fields in Contact form 7 are not showing correctly. The edit screen for Contact form 7 forms doesn't load correctly, preventing me from updating the form name. ACF Pro fields do not show up when hovering over the menu in the translated page. New translations do not appear in the translation queue. Questions: Why are the dropdown fields in Contact form 7 not showing correctly? Why can't I update the form name in Contact form 7? Why do ACF Pro fields not show up in the translated page? Why don't new translations appear in the translation queue?

peter-rF	I have been troubleshooting and when I disable the Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin, the contact form 7 edit screen is no longer broken.

peter-rF	Hi Bruno, as I specified earlier, if I disable the Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin it resolves the contact form 7 editing screen from displaying incorrectly. But also means that the form is no longer translated. I have reverted back to enabling this plugin. I would very much appreciate your support with this at your soonest convenience. Thank you

I don't have an exact date, but most likely soon.

peter-rF	Hi Bruno, this resolved the conflict issues with CF7 but I am still unable to see any of my drop_menu, this is an ACF which shows a dropdown menu on the main nav.

peter-rF	Are there issues with ACF clone fields and WPML?
