Translated Post/Pages are not visible in frontend, after duplication with Yoast Duplicate Post plugin

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

Problem:
When I duplicate translated Posts and Pages with Yoast Duplicate Post, I cannot see the translations in frontend
Solution:
Yoast Duplicate Post when finishing duplication is adding Post/Pages as draft in all languages. Please publish the Post/Pages in all languages in order to make them available in frontend.

florinB-5	Hi there On this site i built this page: hidden link The links for this page are fine for english and french. Then i did some clones with the Yoast Duplicate Post Plugin which is supported by you. (e.g. this one: hidden link) The Links of the new pages unfortunately are not good for english and french as you can check by changing the language. Then you have the page id as url. Can you please help me fix that? Best Regards Florin

Andreas	Hello there Thank you for contacting us. I am happy to help you. When you duplicate the post, have you updated it (and its translation) or not? Regards, Andreas

florinB-5	Hi Andreas I changed the content and saved it again (in Elementor). Then i also had to change the translations (as one title changed), pressed complete translation and here we are. Best Regards Florin

Andreas	Thank you! I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it. Our Debugging Procedures I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site. Privacy and Security Policy We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ IMPORTANT - Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access. - If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link Regards, Andreas

Andreas	Thank you very much for your message. May I ask you for full access to your site? If it is life, it would be ideal to have stage one. I am opening again the private box Regards, Andreas

Andreas	Thank you very much for the access. The problem was that for 2018 Swiss Judo Open you have 2 times the pages in English and French and 1 in german. I have deleted the redundant pages and fix also the slug. Also in the French and English languages, the duplication makes the pages drafts. you need to publish them. You can do this with quick edit for faster results or with the classic way with Edit the pages. If you do the second way, you will see a popup that translation is in progress. Please just click "Edit Anyway" Here is the pages I have fixed : hidden link If you click on each language you will see that the URL is correct now. I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂 Regards, Andreas

florinB-5	I do not consider Yoast Duplicate Post as completly compatible with WPML if there are errors like that. Maybe you should change the status to partially supported.
