Background of the issue:
I am trying to change the images in the SEO Yoast plugin of my pages on my site hidden link. I received a warning message when attempting to edit a translation using the standard WordPress editor, as my site is configured to use the WPML Translation Editor.

Symptoms:
Warning: You are trying to edit a translation using the standard WordPress editor but your site is configured to use the WPML Translation Editor.

Questions:
Can I press the Edit anyway button to change the images in the SEO Yoast plugin?
Is there a specific process I should follow to edit SEO images with WPML?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you wait for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with the first debugging steps or see if I can help with the issue quickly.

I'm not sure which Yoast image you are trying to replace.
Can you please elaborate on this?

Also, when I try the link to your video, I get this error message:
This fiverr-res.cloudinary.com page can’t be found.
Please fix the link to your video.

In the following guides, you can learn how to work with the Yoast SEO plugin and how to replace an image on translated pages.

Hello,

you mention:

Can I press the Edit anyway button to change the images in the SEO Yoast plugin?

Yes you can, the only thing to take into consideration is that this is appearing because you're trying to do this manually on a different language, so if you use the translation editor again for that page/Section you'll likely end up losing that change.

You can try using our "media translation" plugin and translate the images there (i.e: use different images accross the languages) or you can disable the editor on the pages where you are changing the images.

Try that out and let us know how it goes.

Regards.
