After installing WPML, I would like to translate my main page using elementor, but I do not have this option... Is it not enabled?
My main language is Greek, and I addes WPML to create an English site.
However, I need to have only a portion of my original site translated to English. For example, I need a wholy different man page for English (which I want to create with Elementor), and different English Menus and pages as well.
After translatin my main page, the english flag was visible on my main page, but when I clicked on it, it redirected me to a page that did not exist and got a 404 error.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Let me explain:
I have a simple page in my site (Greek) : hidden link
I created an english translation usint the "+", translated all sections, saved.
When I click "View" or the english icon (it was enabled at that time) i gor the 404 error I attached. When I click "Edit with Elementor" I get the result I attached below.
I'm Osama from WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.
I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.
Thanks for the access details. I changed the language URL format to check if the page will open correctly. When using language as a parameter, the translated pages open correctly. (Kindly check this hidden link)
This means that the issue happens because of the directory URL format, so please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps.
1- Deactivate all the plugins except WPML CMS, String Translation, Elementor, and Elementor Pro.
2- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.
3- Back up your .htacces file, and use the default WordPress file. (https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/htaccess/)
4- Resave the permalinks
5- Check the English page
If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one is causing an interaction issue.
❌ Please backup your database before performing the above test ❌
