This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client was unable to see changes on the translated WooCommerce homepage using WPML. The issue was that the translated content did not appear as expected, and there were concerns about the WP memory limit. Solution: 1. We suggested checking the site from a different browser or device to rule out caching issues. 2. We recommended increasing the WP memory limit by adding the following lines to the wp-config.php file:
3. We identified that the content for the Shop page was actually being controlled from Appearance > Elements, not from the standard page backend. We advised the client to check if there was a translation for the Shop page and to duplicate it into Dutch using WPML > Translation Management.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. If these steps do not resolve your issue, 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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Before this ticket gets assigned to one of my colleagues, I will try to help.
I am able to correctly load and see the translation so maybe what you are seeing is a cached version. Can you please check the site from a different browser or device?
These settings can be limited directly by your hosting provider, so, if that’s the case, I recommend you contact and ask them to modify them directly. If you can get even higher values It would be great.
After they are modified, you can verify them from WPML >> Support page, just to make sure that they are correct.
2. Maybe there is some local/server/cdn caching active?
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site so I can better examine the issue. The needed fields are below the comment area. When you log in to leave your next reply, the information you enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will check various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to back up the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate it and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
- Please back up the site files and database before providing us access.
If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, your post and website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.
The private box looks like this: hidden link
I will be waiting for your response.
PS: Please note that I won't be working over the weekend, but I will be able to get back to you at the beginning of next week.
Sorry for all the delay - unfortunately, it took me a pretty long time to understand how things work and how they are set up in the backend.
Normally, the content that is being server on a page should be created from inside the page backend (Pages > Shop - hidden link).
But in this case, it seems that the actual content for the Shop page comes from here: Appearance > Elements (hidden link)
So you can see that here, next to the "Shop" template, there's a "+" sign meaning that there is not translation created yet for that Shop page. So, that is probably why we get English content on the NL version.
Can you please take a look and see if that fixes the issue?
You should also be able to go to WPML > Translation Management > Filter by "Element" and search for "Shop" like you see in the screenshot I attached > and then you should be able to check the box next to it and then duplicate it into NL and that would allow you to go now to Appearance > Elements > change the flag at the top black bar to NL and then edit the duplicated Shop page and manually change the content to what you would like.
