tessyB	Background of the issue: I am trying to ensure that the URLs in my menu and footer display correctly on my site hidden link. I have set the permalinks structure correctly and chosen different languages in directories in the WPML settings. Symptoms: In my menu and footer, the URLs are not displayed correctly. Instead of the full (pretty) URL, it shows hidden link with the page and id. Questions: Why are the URLs in my menu and footer not displaying as pretty URLs? How can I fix the issue with URLs showing page IDs instead of pretty URLs?
