Problem: The client is considering switching to Elementor hosting for their site and wants to know if a bilingual site is possible on their basic plan. Solution: We have no known compatibility issues with Elementor hosting, which uses Google Cloud infrastructure similar to other specialized WordPress hosts. If the memory limit is sufficient, it should function like any typical hosting or cloud environment. For a bilingual site using WPML, ensure that Elementor supports multi-domain environments. Both domains must point to the same root directory, which is crucial for WPML's different domains per language setup. You can test this by configuring WPML and checking the DNS settings. A practical test involves placing a file in the site’s root folder and verifying its accessibility from both domains. If this setup works, your bilingual site should function correctly on Elementor hosting.

Problem: The client is unable to select radio choices on a translated page using WPML with Elementor. The translated form buttons are unselectable, and the default values are incorrect. Solution: The issue of unselectable form buttons was resolved in the latest WPML update (WPML Multilingual CMS 4.7.2). We advised the client to update their WPML plugin by navigating to Plugins > Add new on the Commercial tab and clicking on 'Check for WPML Updates'.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with WPML plugins not updating automatically as expected, even though auto-updates are enabled in WordPress. Solution: We have confirmed that auto-updates are enabled and you are using the latest version of WPML. It's important to understand that we release our latest major versions in cohorts. This means that while the latest version is immediately available for manual download on our website, the WordPress interface might not show an update notification until a few days later, depending on your cohort assignment. For example, if we release a new version on Monday, cohort 1 receives it on Monday, cohort 2 on Tuesday, and so on.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with unresolved markers on your site, which prevent you from successfully saving sentence translations. You've tried using both Bold and Span markers, but WPML still shows errors. Solution: We recommend setting all markers identically to ensure consistency. If you're having trouble applying the markers in the same way, we suggest using the button to copy the original segment and then edit the text accordingly.

Problem: You are experiencing a Yoast license issue on your WordPress site. Specifically, the license works on the primary language site but not on the secondary language (French) site. This discrepancy arises because the WordPress and Site addresses for the original language settings are the same, but they differ in the secondary language. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we suggest verifying the domains and updating your Yoast account accordingly. In doubt please consult the Yoast support team.

Problem: The client is facing issues with maintaining SEO settings after translating pages using WPML and Yoast SEO. Specifically, the schema settings like 'Page Type' are not being preserved in the translated versions. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and click on Show system fields. 2. Set the following fields to Copy:
_yoast_wpseo_schema_article_type
_yoast_wpseo_schema_page_type
3. Reapply the translation for your page. Depending on your setup: - If using Translate Everything Automatically, edit and save the original content to trigger an automatic retranslation. - If manually translating, use the WPML Translation Editor to open and save the translation again. This process might need to be repeated for each page missing the settings. For more detailed guidance, refer to the documentation on Translating Custom Fields.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where opening translated pages in the Elementor front-end editor prompts a license activation warning. This happens because the client is using a different domain for each language, which Elementor interprets as multiple domains needing separate licenses. Solution: We recommend registering all domains used on your site with Elementor to avoid receiving the license activation notification when switching between domains. This is not a bug but rather how Elementor manages domain detection for licensing purposes.
