This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a WordPress Archive that includes pagination. The links to each page appear correctly in my primary language, but in my translated language site I see the placeholder shortcodes instead of the correct page number:
%%SEITE%%
Solution: Select "Translate the theme and plugins using WPML's String Translation only (don't load .mo files)" in WPML > Theme and Plugin Localization.

Hi there,
I have a little issue with setting up pagination in a post archive view in combination with WPML.
It works all fine unless I switch the language (EN->DE). Please see attached screenshots on how I set it up and how the outcome looks like.
[wpv-pager-archive-nav-links output="bootstrap" previous_next_links="true" force_previous_next="true" step="9" reach="10" text_for_previous_link="«" text_for_next_link="»"]
Somehow the %%page%% link is automatically translated to German. I have searched the string translation for this string but it is not showing up so I cannot correct this in any way.
Do you have some advise for me?
Thanks,
Peg
Hi, that's strange. Can you try these troubleshooting steps for me?
- Hard-code the page placeholder by adding anchor_text="%%PAGE%%" to your pagination shortcode, then test again
- Temporarily deactivate everything except Toolset and WPML plugins, and activate a default theme like Twenty Seventeen, then test again
- Make a full backup of your site, then go to WPML > Support and click "Troubleshooting". Try the Clean Up tasks shown in the screenshot I've attached here
If none of these resolves the issue, please provide a URL where I can see your site and test this out. Thanks!
