Rico Heinrich	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a page that contains a button to open a popup using Popup Maker. The page and the popup have both been translated. However, on the translated page, the popup does not open. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: On the translated page, the popup does not open. The CSS class "pum-trigger" is missing for the button link. Questions: Why does the popup not open on the translated page? Is the missing CSS class 'pum-trigger' causing the issue?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for contacting us. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified. Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements. Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me. ✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. I tried to change the popmaker ID here hidden link for English, but it broke the page hidden link . Also, I deleted the English language contents and duplicated it from DE language for a test. I tried accessing your FTP access to check the debug log, but it's empty and could you please check? Also, it says my FTP access doesn't have the permission to edit the files.

Rico Heinrich	Thank you Kor. With this hoster only files in wp-content may be edited. WPDebug has to be switched on from the admin panel. I just did that. I noticed this behaviour before: when you try to save the English (translated) version of the page directly it breaks. This can only be reversed when you completely delete the translated page and create it again ... The debug.log works now. You can also see the server error log at 246851_test/logs/ via FTP.
