Problem: If you're using Yoast SEO along with WPML and experiencing an issue where the title tags set in Yoast SEO for things like archive page titles are being overwritten from the source language (English) into one of the translations, this might be due to a specific sequence of actions. This includes configuring an 'Organization logo' in Yoast SEO, translating SEO titles and descriptions for archive pages, and making changes in the Yoast SEO settings, followed by visiting a translated language page on the frontend as the first page after the changes. Solution: We recommend that after saving the Yoast settings, you should visit the frontend in the primary language first. This workaround helps prevent the issue where the translated text overwrites the source language in the 'wpseo_titles' data. Our team has already reported this issue to the compatibility team and is in contact with the plugin author for a fix. You can follow the progress of this issue here.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.

Problem: After migrating a regional language site from /mx/ to /es/ and deactivating the old MX language, a number of ES posts went missing. Initially, there were 43 blog posts, but after the cleanup, only 19 remained. Solution: We recommend checking the following settings in WPML: 1. Navigate to WPML->Settings->Posts and pages synchronization and ensure that the options 'When deleting a post, delete translations as well' and 'When deleting a taxonomy (category, tag or custom), delete translations as well' are unchecked. 2. Go to WPML->Support->Troubleshooting and click the following buttons: + Clear Cache in WPML + Set Language information + Fix element types collation + Remove ghost entries from the translation tables + Assign translation status to duplicated content These steps should help recover the missing posts.
If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: You are experiencing performance issues with ACFML when it adds strings to the string translation tool for all ACF field groups. You do not translate admin fields and do not want these strings in the string translation as it slows down your site. You have many ACF fields, resulting in thousands of strings being added. A workaround was provided previously, which involves modifying a file, but it needs reapplying after each ACFML update. Solution: Currently, there is no alternative solution apart from the workaround you mentioned. We have escalated the issue to our development team, and it is on our list. You will be updated on your previous support ticket as soon as there is any news. In the meantime, if you need to apply the workaround, you can prevent ACFML from registering and reading the fields translations from String Translation for ACFML labels by going to this file:
