Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Can you try this? Go to WPML → Settings and click the Custom XML Configuration tab and add the following there: <wpml-config> <custom-fields> <custom-field action="copy">_sections_layout_meta</custom-field> </custom-fields> </wpml-config> After this open any original page and just resave it. Does it work then? See here: hidden link hidden link
