Problem: You are experiencing issues with embedded URLs in your bilingual site's posts being overwritten when saved, despite being manually added to point to the same post in a different language. This issue occurs even though the URLs preview correctly before saving. Solution: To prevent WPML from automatically adjusting and overwriting your manually inserted links, you can exclude specific links from being rewritten by blacklisting certain slugs. This involves adding custom code to your theme's functions.php file to specifically exclude URLs that contain certain patterns, such as those associated with events. Here is an example of how you can implement this:
