This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with the layout being disrupted when switching to English on their Elementor-built pages, specifically the homepage and header. After attempting to resolve these issues, the client encountered a critical error that made the site inaccessible, along with 404 errors on WooCommerce pages.
Solution:
1. Update the Original Homepage and Its Translation:
- Navigate to WordPress admin, go to Pages, and edit the original homepage. Make a minor change or simply update to force WPML to re-synchronize the Elementor data.
2. Check WPML's Elementor Translation Settings:
- Go to WPML → Settings and ensure Elementor is set to handle translations.
3. Clear Caches:
- Clear all site and server caches to ensure updates are visible.
4. Translate the Header Template and Check String Translation for the Logo:
- Use WPML's Translation Dashboard to translate the header template and use String Translation for elements like the logo.
5. Manually Edit the Translated Header:
- If necessary, manually adjust the translated header in Elementor.
6. Address the Critical Error and 404 Issues:
- Check WPML WooCommerce Multilingual setup and verify page status and endpoints. Review error logs and restore from a backup if necessary.
