Background of the issue:
I’m trying to use WPML ElasticPress on my site with Avada, but the archive pages stop working when the plugin is enabled. Avada support explained to me that it’s an issue related to WPML, and when I disabled the plugin, the problem was resolved.

Symptoms:
The archive pages are empty when the WPML ElasticPress plugin is enabled.

Questions:
How can I use WPML ElasticPress without it affecting the archive pages?
Is there a solution for the issue related to WPML and Avada?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

I checked the plugins section in the debug info and didn't notice that you use the ElasticPress plugin.

The WPML ElasticPress glue plugin is only required when you use the ElasticPress plugin. Kindly check this guide.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Roberto,

Please log in to this hidden link">sandbox site and try to replicate the issue. If the issue is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it so I can check it and consult our compatibility team.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

It’s a bit complicated to replicate the issue on the sandbox site (there are many plugins to install, etc.). I could temporarily reinstall WPML ElasticPress on our website, and you can see the problem there. Does that work for you? Avada’s technical support was almost certain that the issue related to categories is due to your plugin (and disabling it solved the problem).

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. You don't need to install the plugins. This sandbox site has Avada, WPML, WooCommerce, and ElasticPress installed.

Please create a test archive page and translate it to replicate the issue.

Best regards,
Osama
