mariaS-62	Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to insert a different URL to 2 buttons in DE language version. I initiated the ATE because I used to do it from there but now I can't find the same field to input a different URL anymore. Is there any documentation that you are following? https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ --> seems outdated, I cannot find the mentioned search field anymore. Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link

mariaS-62	More info: the URLs I am talking about are linked to a button. They link to different external landing pages. EN: - 1st button: hidden link - 2nd button: hidden link DE: - 1st button: hidden link - 2nd button: hidden link

Mohamed Sayed	Hi Maria, Thanks for contacting WPML support. Please edit the translation with the WPML's translation editor and use the "Search content in original language" field to search for "https" instead of "url" and check if you can find the button links. Kind regards, Mohamed

mariaS-62	Thanks, that solves it. Even thought it is really weird that you have to be so specific, you need to know what to look for. A feature request - make URL fields visible by default instead of having them hidden in the translation editor and having to search for them in a specific way. Plus I think it would help if you update the documentation here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ Thank you!
