It is also compatible with both the free and Pro versions of "WP All Export" and "WP All Import". For detailed instructions, please read our guide: WPML Export and Import documentation.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the ATE UI not maintaining the selected version preference (old UI), as it reverts to the new UI after some time or following updates.
Solution: We suspect the issue might be related to browser caching. When switching between the new and old UIs in ATE, a parameter in the URL (i.e.,
ui=gen3
for new and
ui=legacy
for old) dictates which UI version to display. This setting should persist unless manually changed. We recommend clearing your browser cache to ensure this setting is applied correctly. Additionally, keep your plugins and themes updated to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.

Problem: The client reported that after moving their website and assigning different keys to both sites, WPML continuously prompted them to select which site is the copy. This issue arose because the site at https://www.sceproject.it was using the same credits for automatic translation as the other site. Solution: We identified that the domain https://www.sceproject.it had an organization attached to it, whereas the https://newsceproject.rrulb.com/ did not. We advised the client to select "mark it as a copy" on the https://newsceproject.rrulb.com/ site if the popup appeared there. This action resolved the issue.

Problem: You are trying to translate a custom post type 'Staff' using WPML and Bricks Builder, but the layout disappears when viewed in the Italian language.

Set the post type 'bricks_template' to 'Translatable - only show translated content' in the WPML settings under Post Type Translation. For detailed guidance on setting template conditions in Bricks Builder, visit Bricks Builder Template Settings.

Problem: The client wants to have two different page layouts for different languages using WPML but encountered issues after initially using the translation editor. Solution: We recommend completing the translation by clicking the save button on each element to copy it from the original. After saving, delete the entire translation. Then, you can duplicate the page and follow the workflow as explained in our video tutorial here: https://www.loom.com/share/aa51354bb1ec448abf610a4d1149aeae.

Problem: The client is trying to translate posts made in Gutenberg using WPML and wants them to appear as one single text box in the Advanced Translation Editor. However, the translation is separating the content into different paragraphs. Solution: 1. In the Advanced Translation Editor, click on the settings icon (gear icon) located at the right top corner. Here, you will find an option to show 'Bigger segments'. 2. If the content still appears as separate paragraphs, you can use the merging chain to merge the paragraphs. Here is a helpful screenshot: https://prnt.sc/C5d-_x9J6en8 3. It is important to note that each paragraph in Gutenberg is treated as its own block, which WPML detects and maintains the same structure. Therefore, the largest segments that can be displayed are based on these individual blocks.
