Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue with my WordPress site where the product categories show a 404 error on the translated languages. I have already flushed the permalinks to try and fix the issue.

Symptoms:
The translated product category pages return a 404 error. Example: hidden link

Questions:
Why do my translated product category pages show a 404 error?
How can I fix the 404 error on translated product category pages?

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Could you please try the following steps?

1. Navigate to WPML → Taxonomy Translation → Product Categories.
2. Check if all fields are properly filled in, including the Plural translation field.
3. If any fields are empty, please complete the missing translations.

Once done, please verify if the issue persists. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you for your feedback.

At this point, please check whether the 404 issue still occurs on the /product-category/ pages, as initially reported in this support ticket.

Hello dear, I am working on another support order. After changing the settings below according to your request, I am now unable to log in to my WordPress backend. Please help me resolve this issue. Thank you.
1. Open your wp-config.php file.
2. Look for this line:
1define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
3. Replace it with:
1define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
2define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
Now my backend is displaying an error code and I cannot log in. What should I do?
