Problem: The client was unable to display the language switcher on both languages on their website using WPML. Solution: We resolved the issue by editing the Elementor's English header template. Initially, the incorrect menu was selected. We changed it to the correct menu: 'MainMenu - Czech', updated the template, and confirmed that the language switcher now displays correctly on the English version of the site.

Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where your translated page is not found on the frontend, it might be due to the Events Manager plugin handling the
publish_future_post
action incorrectly. This occurs when the event's title (
post_title
) is empty, causing the system to generate a blank slug and fail. Solution: We recommend contacting the plugin developers at https://wp-events-plugin.com to review and address this issue. As a temporary workaround, you can comment out the problematic action in the plugin's code by modifying
This change helps prevent assigning an invalid post type when the event lacks a title.

Problem: The client reported issues with their multilingual WooCommerce site using WPML. Specifically, the Romanian shop page was displaying products but not the sidebar, the English shop page was showing the sidebar but not the products, and a Romanian product page was not displaying the sale price, only the regular price. Solution: We recommended the client to first clear any caches on their site, as caching can often cause display issues like these. Next, we advised checking the WPML language configuration settings to ensure that the shop pages are correctly linked and translated in both languages. For the issue with the product pricing, we suggested verifying the WooCommerce multilingual settings for currency and price synchronization between languages.

Problem: If you set English as your primary language and Bulgarian as your second, then completely remove Bulgarian, you are concerned that this will also delete associated images, leaving English products without pictures. Solution: Changing your site's default language to English will not affect the default language of your products, and images will still appear if the products are created in English. However, since Bulgarian was the default language for many posts, products, and other custom post types, you should take the following steps to properly remove Bulgarian content without affecting English content: 1. Temporarily reactivate the Bulgarian language. 2. Navigate to Posts, switch to Bulgarian, select the posts, and delete them. 3. Clear the trash. 4. Repeat the process for other post types like Products, Pages, and Templates. You can find detailed instructions here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-delete-the-translation-of-a-page/ Additionally, ensure to back up your site before making any changes. We also canceled automatic translation jobs that might have been stuck due to content originally being in Bulgarian.
