This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are testing the fallback option in WPML for products instead of duplicating them, which saves a significant amount of product entries. However, you are encountering issues where the product slug on the Dutch homepage and sometimes in categories shows a URL like
https://www.outsole.nl/nl/?post_type=product&p=327286375
instead of the expected pretty URL. This results in errors and unavailable pages. Additionally, filters based on attributes have disappeared on the Dutch site.
Solution:
1. Verify if the problematic products are published. Products showing a URL format like
https://www.outsole.nl/nl/?post_type=product&p=327286375
are typically not published and are in a draft status.
2. If using the "available for fallback" option, be aware that filters and taxonomies might not work or display as expected because an actual database entry does not exist for these products. If you need to use filters with translations, it is recommended to bulk duplicate the products. You can do this by navigating to WPML->Translation Management, filtering by products, and selecting to bulk duplicate.
3. If a Dutch duplicate is in the Trash, it can cause issues. We recommend fully removing any trashed translations to avoid such problems.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
