Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue with WPML’s translated URLs on my website usthadian.com. Previously, translated URLs were generated correctly with the language directory and a proper slug. Since August 8, both Hindi and Tamil translations no longer generate proper permalinks and fall back to a query-string format. Example of the issue can be seen at: hidden link. I expected to see: hidden link instead.
Due to this issue - category wise mapping of articles is getting hampered in both translations that i use ( hindi and tamil )
Symptoms:
Since August 8, new Hindi and Tamil translations generate ?p=ID URLs instead of proper permalinks. Older translations and English posts are unaffected.
Questions:
Why are Hindi and Tamil translations since August 8 generating ?p=ID URLs instead of proper permalinks?
Is this linked to recent WPML updates or a rewrite rule issue?
What troubleshooting or database repair steps should I run to restore correct behavior?
