Problem: You have a page on your multilingual site that should not have a language subdirectory in its URL, but currently, it loads with one (e.g., https://mysite.tld/en/page/). You want it to load directly at https://mysite.tld/page/ without language subdirectories and without translations for other languages. Solution: To address this issue, you will need a custom solution tailored to your specific setup. Here are some possible approaches: 1. Create a server rule that ensures the page always uses a fixed URL, which might include redirecting or proxying to the actual WordPress page. 2. Write PHP code that detects the special page slug and bypasses the language folder logic for that particular request. 3. Set up a "dummy" translation for other languages that simply redirects back to the default version. The best solution will depend on your hosting environment and project requirements.

Problem: The client reported an issue where WPML was generating an error due to a missing WordPress database table. Solution: We recommended the client ensure they had a full site backup. We then requested WP-Admin credentials to access the site and address the issue directly. After receiving the credentials, we created the missing database table, resolving the error. Additionally, for removing language data, we guided the client to disable the unwanted languages first, then use the option to remove the data for those languages, as detailed in our documentation here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-completely-remove-a-language-from-your-site/
