This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The client is unable to translate the footer of their website using WPML, despite having successfully translated the header. They are using the 7Up Theme.

Solution:

If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking if the Footer post type is set to be translatable. You can do this by navigating to WPML>>Settings>>Post Type Translation. Ensure you perform a site backup first, then set the option for the Footer post type to Translatable – only show translated items and save the changes. Afterwards, attempt to translate the Footer posts to see if the issue is resolved.

For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on translating custom posts: Translating Custom Posts.

If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not suitable for your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

To help you faster, I've enabled debug information for this support ticket. Please see this link for how to get this information from your site and give it to us: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

As per the screenshot the Footer post type is not set as translated. So please visit WPML>>Settings>>Post Type Translation after a site backup, then set the *Translatable – only show translated items* option for the *Footer* post type and save the changes. After that translate the Footer posts and make sure you are getting the expected results or not.

Refer to this documentation for more details -
