Problem: You are trying to get strings from the Elementor plugin to show in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), but they are not appearing as expected. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, it might be because you are using a global widget that has not been translated. We recommend translating this global widget to see if that resolves the problem. For more details on how to translate global widgets, you can visit our documentation here: Translating Widgets.

Problem: The client reported an issue where a URL with a language prefix that does not match any of the activated languages in WPML (Austrian German 'de-at') was added and could not be removed. This URL was incorrectly listed in the sitemap.
Solution: We resolved the issue by manually removing the erroneous entry from the database. Specifically, in the posts table, there was a leftover entry for 'test-pagew'. After deleting this entry, the URL no longer appears in the sitemap.

Problem: You are experiencing an issue where the URL is not translatable despite having URL translation activated in WPML settings. Solution: 1. Ensure that the option for URL translation is activated for newly created content. If you are working with existing content, try the following steps: - Edit the title or permalink slug on the original content. - Reopen the WPML Translation Editor to see if the changes take effect. 2. Check if the page in other languages is set as "Duplicate". If so, remove this option and try translating the URL again. 3. If the issue persists, make minor edits to the primary language page. This might trigger the system to recognize the changes and allow for URL translation.

Problem: If you're unable to delete deactivated content in WPML, this might be due to a known issue. Solution: We recommend performing a full site backup before proceeding with any changes. After backing up, try deleting the Post Category and Tags terms in Korean and Portuguese (Portugal) languages. This workaround is suggested in our errata, which you can review here: https://wpml.org/errata/taxonomies-are-not-deleted-with-the-delete-content-from-database-option/.

Problem: The client reported that hreflang tags were missing from blog articles, although they were working on pages.

If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you verify this setting.
