I am trying to: Give a Spanish WP menu the same name as the corresponding English WP menu. The name of the menu needs to be the client company name, which is the same in English and Spanish. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link I expected to see: I want to have the third footer menu named "FLOCERT" in both English and Spanish Instead, I got: If I name the Spanish menu "FLOCERT" I get the error "The menu name FLOCERT conflicts with another menu name. Please try another." |

Hi there, Thanks for contacting WPML support. I can see that you've renamed it to FLOCERT ES here hidden link . Did you sort it out already? If you're still having issues, may try some of the other methods to sync the menu https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/ Let me know how it goes. |

Hi, No - I need the menus to have the same name in both languages. The Spanish menu is currently called "FLOCERT ES" because I get the error reported above if I try to name it the same as the English menu "FLOCERT". Please advise how I can have both the Spanish menu and the English menu called "FLOCERT" without getting the error "The menu name FLOCERT conflicts with another menu name. Please try another." The site is going live today so a quick response would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan. |

Thanks for your reply. Please update the WPML plugins on your Website. Also, I would need to take a closer look 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 IMPORTANT: Please, note, a backup is required for security reasons, and to avoid any data loss, you can use the https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/plugin for these backup needs. Your following answer will be private, which means only you and I have access to it. ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if required. This is also a reason the backup is critical. |

Thanks for your reply. I've checked and can see the issue you had there. Looks like WordPress wouldn't allow the same menu name to be used hence preventing you from achieving what you needed there. Let me check and see if I could find a workaround for this. |

Thanks for your reply. Looks like we have no choice but to use custom CSS. Could you insert this custom CSS code below into your theme style.css file and see if it helps? .footer-menu.footer-menu--mobile-dropdown:nth-child(3) .footer-menu__title { width: 90px; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; } |

Hi, This did not resolve my issue - too much of a hard-coded solution. Instead we added an ACF field to the menu object which, if set, is displayed instead of the menu name. Dan. |

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that ACF solution would definitely be better. Just don't output the menu name directly if you wish to use the same menu name. |
