[Gelöst] Footer Links verweisen auf der Originalsprache, statt auf die Übersetzte

Hello Stephanie,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

To reduce the waiting time, I took this ticket and responded in English. Please let me know if you're okay with it or want me to assign this ticket to one of my German-speaking colleagues. I will be happy to do that for you.

Please be informed that the internal links are supposed to get updated automatically depending on the availability of translation. However, upon checking the footer, I noticed that every link within it contains the page's ID instead of the slug. This is likely the reason the links aren't auto-updating in other languages.

Please try the following steps and hopefully, the issue will be resolved after that.

- Open the Footer template in the Editor.
- Adjust the links to use the slug instead of the ID in the URL. For instance, the correct slug for "Vertriebspartner in Deutschland" is "/vertriebspartner". However, in the footer, the link appears as "/page_id=853". Instead of using this format, simply utilize the primary slug for the page, which is "/vertriebspartner". All links in the Footer should contain the slug only.
- Once you're done updating the links, save the changes and update the translation of the Footer template as well.

Please give this method a try and let me know how it goes. I will be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.

Best Regards,
Prosenjit

Hello Stephanie,
Thank you for trying out the suggestions.

From the screenshot, it seems you have updated the English version of the Footer manually. Instead of updating the Footer in that way, Please update the link on the German version of the Footer first, save the changes, and then update the translation of the Footer using the Advanced Translation editor. In this way, the link will be updated properly in each version automatically.

But, if the issue persists, a closer inspection will be required to understand the root cause of the issue.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated.

You will find the needed fields below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.

IMPORTANT
-Please backup site files and database before providing us access.
-If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & 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:

Looking forward to your response.
