This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The client created a new page translated from an original page to check new fields, but the CSS was not applying correctly.

Solution:

We recommended the following steps to ensure the CSS applies and the system fields are set up correctly:

1) Navigate to WPML >> Settings >> Custom Fields Translation.
2) Click on Show Systems fields link.
3) Select Copy as the translation option for the

_elementor_data

field.
4) Save the changes.
5) Open the original page for editing and make a minor change in the contents.
6) Update the page.
7) Complete the translation of the English post.
8) Clear the Elementor caches.

If similar issues persist on other pages or posts, follow these additional steps:
- Open the page in the original language for editing.
- Make a small change to the content and update it.
- Complete the translation of the English version.
- Clear all types of caches, including Elementor cache.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to assist you in resolving the issue.

I have created a new ticket for this issue to make follow-up easier, as it seems to be a different case.

Please check the English test page now. It is showing the expected results after performing the following steps. Review it and let us know your feedback: hidden link

1) Visit WPML >> Settings >> Custom Fields Translation
2) Click on *Show Systems fields* link
3) Choose *Copy* as translation option for *_elementor_data* field
4) Save the changes
5) Open the page for editing: hidden link
6) Update it after a minor change in the contents
7) Complete the translation of the English post
8) Clear the Elementor caches

Hello,

Thank you for your help - indeed now the CSS is applying, thank you for that. Can you please confirm if now the setup of Systems fields is alright? Are more fields than elementor_data, so I have to be sure they are marked correctly.

All the best

Hello,

Thank you for the updates. The *_elementor_data* custom field is already set as "em>Copy", and this setting applies globally across the site. So it will be applied to all posts and pages built with Elementor.

However, if you notice similar issues on other pages or posts, please try the following steps to refresh the translation settings:

- Open the page in the original language for editing
- Make a small change to the content and update it
- Complete the translation of the English version
- Clear all types of caches, including Elementor cache
