Problem: The client translated a page, but only the header and footer are visible in the translated version, not the main content. Solution: We recommend running the following SQL query to update the post name, which might resolve the issue:
UPDATE `teqzwp_posts` SET `post_name` = 'page' WHERE `ID` = '717';
This changes the post name to 'page' for the post with ID '717'.
If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not suitable for your case, please check the related known issues and verify the version of the permanent fix. Ensure you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Problem: The client reported that ACF link fields inside a custom block were not translatable. Solution: First, we verified that the 'Test link 2' field's value was set to 'Translate'. We found that the URL value was indeed showing for the translation when searched for. We recommended the client to refer to our documentation on how to translate URLs, shortcodes, and HTML attributes using the Advanced Translation Editor: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/
Next, we resolved the issue by changing the field name of 'Button title' from 'button' to 'button_link', as 'button' or 'buttons' may be reserved words that could cause conflicts. Additionally, we upgraded to WPML version 4.6.9.
Problem: The client wanted to change the default language of their website's pages from English to Dutch and then translate them to English and German. They attempted to disconnect the translations by setting 'This is the translation of' to '--None--', but it reverted back to the original language after saving. They referred to a support forum topic but were unsuccessful. Solution: We identified that the issue was due to outdated WPML plugins. After updating the plugins, we were able to disconnect the secondary language products from the primary language by following the instructions provided in the documentation.
Here are the steps to follow: 1. Update WPML plugins to the latest version. 2. Disconnect the secondary language products from the primary language using the provided documentation. 3. Link the products back to the English language product. 4. Select 'Make [Language] the original language for this page' as described in the documentation.
