 * Hi, I have read your answer and find it to be lacking.
 * This is your documentation regarding WPML:
   [https://locationweather.io/docs/using-wpml/](https://locationweather.io/docs/using-wpml/)
 * The first line reads:
   Any user can easily translate the **Location Weather** 
   using the WPML plugin.
 * I have done everything the article mentions yet it’s not showing the translation
   in the front end even if I use a VPN to simulate being in Italy for the Italian
   translation.
 * Please advise and thanks in advance.

 * Hi Takayuki, just wanted to get back to you to let you know I narrowed down the
   problem to the use of a plugin named Contact Form 7 to Database Extension by 
   Michael Simpson.
 * The plugin is old and has not been updated for years. After deactivating this
   plugin and replacing it with the plugin named CF7DB, which does pretty much the
   same thing, Contact Form 7 was able to send messages using PHP8.1.
 * Thanks for the help with this issue.

 * Hi Takayuki,
 * Thanks for your prompt response. Below is a list of the themes and plugins used
   on the site. I put an arrow to the left of the Contact Form 7 to Database extension
   which I suspect could be the problem. The plugin is no longer available and has
   not been updated for six years. I need to test the form on PHP8.1 with this plugin
   disabled to prove this theory.

 * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excerpt-not-working-in-avada-theme/#post-15868484)
 * Hi Maybelline, you are correct. I am using the %%excerpt%% variable to attempt
   to create the meta description tag dynamically from the post content.
 * However, on the snippet preview, all I see are the Avada builder shortcodes –
   there’s so many no actual copy makes it into the snippet. See this screenshot:
 * [https://paste.pics/ad12979cad439e598a76f6555e4d0b20](https://paste.pics/ad12979cad439e598a76f6555e4d0b20)
 * It looks like the Yoast plugin is ignoring the shortcodes and not generating 
   a meta description at all because there is no content to add after filtering 
   out the shortcodes. See this screenshot for what the source code shows on the
   front end to admin users:
 * [https://paste.pics/2e3d010ef17902a9e7d1487682c8b89e](https://paste.pics/2e3d010ef17902a9e7d1487682c8b89e)
 * Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to offer. We are aware that
   we can manually insert a meta description but we are trying to avoid that as 
   there are dozens of pages and posts on this site that don’t have a meta description
   and we would rather handle it dynamically with the variable.

 * Hi Jeroen,
 * Thanks for your prompt reply and for the suggestions. I looked at the pages in
   that date range and found that someone had used the “Page Links To” plugin to
   redirect a page to “#”. This is why the pound mark was showing up in the XML 
   sitemap.
 * I set the plugin to use the page’s normal URL and saved the page as a draft, 
   as the intent was to make it inaccessible to the public.
 * Thanks again!

 * Hi there, it appears you are not seeing what the problem is. Here is a screenshot
   of the clone site displaying the Post Grid incorrectly:
 * [https://zumatours.net//zt-the-post-grid-01.png](https://zumatours.net//zt-the-post-grid-01.png)
 * Here is a screenshot of the Post Grid displaying a second instance (which is 
   rendering correctly) under the incorrect instance of the grid:
 * [https://zumatours.net//zt-the-post-grid-02.png](https://zumatours.net//zt-the-post-grid-02.png)
 * The issue is not related to the equal height CSS. It appears the plugin is rendering
   the post query incorrectly, then rendering the grid correctly right below.
 * If you need admin access to the clone site please let us know.

 * Greetings, I added the CSS you suggested but I still see an incorrect instance
   of The Post Grid on the home page of the clone site:
 * [https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com](https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com)
 * Here is another example of The Post Grid on the same website where the plugin
   is rendered incorrectly:

 * The second example oddly appears to include posts from the home page grid, which
   it should not since the posts are in different categories.
 * Please advise.

 * I fixed the FontAwesome icon issue by adding this custom CSS:
 * .fa {
    font-family: FontAwesome !important; }
 * This overrides The Post Grid call to use FontAwesome 5 instead of the theme’s
   native FontAwesome 4.7.
 * The issue with the broken post grid still persists, though. Please advise.

 * Hi there, please take another look at the clone site:
 * [https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com](https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com)
 * The second icon from left to right is missing, the one over the text “Fast Water
   Taxi”.
 * Below is a set of post grid items which have the wrong featured images (or none),
   and no excerpt.
 * If you keep scrolling down, you will see a SECOND instance of the post grid, 
   this one with the correct images and excerpts as the plugin is configured to 
   display this grid.
 * I don’t think this is a CSS-only problem, and again it only happens if I upgrade
   the plugin beyond version 2.3.6.6. Please advise and thank you for your help 
   with this.

 * Hi there, sorry about the confusion. The live site [https://www.zumatours.net](https://www.zumatours.net)
   is using version 2.3.6.6 of the plugin and it works fine.
 * I cloned the live site and updated the plugin to version 3.0.5 so that you can
   see how the plugin breaks the layout on the home page and displays a weird version
   of the post grid on top of a correct version shown below. There are also issues
   with some FontAwesome icons not displaying.
 * Please check this version:
 * [https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com](https://wordpress-323294-2248706.cloudwaysapps.com)
 * Note that there are no console errors shown on my browser. Please let me know
   if you would like admin access to the clone site.
