rayaA	Background of the issue: I just had a fresh WPML install. Before doing the automatic translation to the pages, I went to Settings>Translated documents options> Page URL> and selected "Copy from original language if translation language uses encoded URLs". I want to have all my URLs in English no matter which language it is. I also went to Languages> Site Languages> Edit Languages and chose YES for Encode URLs for all languages. Then I followed the installer and used automatic translation to translate some of the pages. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: All the Hebrew pages in the top menu URL in Hebrew have been translated. This did not happen in Arabic or Russian. The log file shows: Warning: Attempt to read property "post_type" on null in /mnt/data/home/1369476.cloudwaysapps.com/gkrgagekyw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/translation-management/translation-management.class.php on line 2132. Warning: Attempt to read property "language_code" on null in /mnt/data/home/1369476.cloudwaysapps.com/gkrgagekyw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/translation-management/translation-management.class.php on line 2134. In addition, the top three Widget in Translations queue (WPML>Translations) cannot be reviewed (Translator cannot be assigned to this job). I expected to see: Hebrew my account page should be hidden link. Instead, I got: Instead it is hidden link Questions: Why are the Hebrew URLs being translated although I marked that none ever should be translated? How can I fix the warnings in the log file related to 'post_type' and 'language_code'? Why can't the top three Widgets in the Translations queue be reviewed? How can I ensure all URLs are in English regardless of the language?

Could you provide me with backups of your wp-content folder and database? You can zip the files and share them with us via a file-sharing platform. Looking forward to your response. Thanks!
