I’m having an issue with WPML on one specific page — the homepage. All other translated pages on the website work correctly.
Problem:
The default language is English.
The homepage also has a Danish translation.
If I manually enter the Danish URL (domain.com/da/) everything works correctly.
However, the WPML language switcher in the main menu does not work properly on the homepage only.
What happens:
When I hover over the English flag/menu item on the homepage, the Danish option does not appear.
Because of this, all homepage-related menu links in Danish point to the English homepage instead of the Danish one.
Other pages switch languages normally.
Things I already tried:
I deleted the homepage completely and created a new one.
I recreated the translation.
The issue still reappears only on the homepage.
It seems like WPML is not correctly linking the translated homepage internally, even though the translated page itself exists and works when accessed directly via URL.
You can see two pages on the screenshot.
Could you please advise what could cause this and how to properly reconnect the homepage translations?
Pages look fine and connection is there ... but the the issue is still there. I can not switch between EN and DA on my front page. There is some disconnect between them
Thank you for your detailed explanation of the issue. It seems that the disconnect between the English and Danish homepage translations could be related to the post status, the menu translation, and maybe even the language URL configuration for the site.
Please check the following:
1. Go to **WPML -> WP Menus Sync** and ensure that the Danish translation of the homepage is correctly linked in the menu.
2. Verify the language URL format under **WPML -> Languages** to ensure it is set up correctly.
3. After setting up the URL format, please resave the permalinks by going to **Settings -> Permalinks** and clicking "Save Changes."
4. Ensure that the Danish translation of the homepage is published and not in draft status. You can check this in the WPML translation management section.
If everything appears to be set up correctly and the issue persists, please let me know, and we can take further investigation.
