I used "Translate Site Interface" to translate the text for the submit button (marked in blue) to German but for translating validation messages (marked in red) it is not working, even though I used the same process to translate. To view the screenshot of the form please see the link below.

After having been given the task of translating a whole "document" from german to english, I am really glad that WPML's Translation Editor makes it so easy to keep the structure intact and only change the actual text inside it.
That said, I've been running into an issue when the text comes from an Elementor Text Editor and contains links: WPML's Editor doesn't seem to offer a way to also translate a link's destination. It provides a way to mark where the text of a link is in the translation, but that's it.
And some links are language coded, like &lang=de, but since the Editor only translates the text of the link, the result then points at the wrong destination.
E.g. the english section of a text pointing to a source in german.
This is something I keep having to fix manually afterwards, because the Editor only offers translating destinations for Elementor widgets that declare the fields translateable, and even there it can be spotty, as I've found out.
Now I am wondering if there's something I could do to configure WPML to take those links inside the Text Editor element like it does with actual link elements, or if that's out of the question.
I'd really prefer to not have to routinely check the translation destinations, because as it stands do I not even know when WPML triggered an automatic translation because something about the layout changed, but no text changes happened.
So the changes to the link destinations could be just undone silently, which has happened before for a different part of the site.
I have an app that lets users create a dynamic link (using firebase) to their information and that redirects to the play store first if they don't have the app installed yet. When the dynamic link gets created, it gets encoded in a QR code for easy sharing. Unfortunately some (not all) Android devices are cutting off a portion of the link so that it doesn't work.
So here is the QR code that gets generated:
After scanning it, some android devices show this on the screen:
If you select "copy", you get this text: "https://missionary.page.link?apn=com.quintessence.missionary&ibi=com.quintessence.missionary&link=https://missionary.page.link/missionaryDetails?missionaryID%3DnRLkLgbVQ94Af2uI2rQO"
This is the text that is supposed to be there, and if you then paste it in the browser, it works correctly and either opens the app or the google play store. If you select "Open in browser" instead, it cuts off a portion of the text and returns this:
Selecting the URL and copying it, shows that the last section of the text is getting cut off and it's trying to open this instead: "https://missionary.page.link/?apn=com.quintessence.missionary&ibi=com.quintessence.missionary&link=https".
Any help with understanding why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it would be great!
I have tried googling a solution but didn't find anything about text in QR codes getting cut off.
When following a link from the Google search page, I often see the most relevant part of the page highlighted like so:
Looking at the URL, I see bits of the highlighted text appear after the #:~:text= anchor (hash, colon, tilde, colon, text - in case someone is trying to Google this question):

Is this notation (#:~:text=) Wikipedia-specific or is it a more standard way of highlighting text on a web page? Where can I read up on this? So far my google-fu has failed me.
I'm using Gravity Forms on my (Wordpress) website for some simple forms, and have installed the signature add-on to require people to sign their name before being able to submit the form.
At first everything was working perfectly, but at some point in the last few months (possibly after switching hosts), the signature add-on function stopped working.
You're supposed to be able to draw in the signature box (to sign your name), when you hover over the box the mouse turns into a pen tool. The mouse still turns into a pen, but now the box is not interactive - clicking and dragging does not produce any marks.
Using inspect element on the page, I can see the following error message:
Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function
This error does not appear on pages without the signature add-on. Here is a page featuring a form with the add-on at the top:

Does anyone have any insight as to what the problem might be? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
I've built an ASP.net web application which allows the users to view and make notes on a list of calendar events. The notes are edited in a WYSIWYG editor that outputs to HTML text (but could also output to RTF), which is then saved as text in an MSSQL05 database.
Now I've got to add a printing function to the calendar application. Prior to this version, the printing was done through SSRS05, but now that I've added rich text notes, this method will no longer work.
I can render the whole calendar in a printer-friendly format in the web browser, but my users have two issues with that: first, I can't turn off the header and footer added during the print, and the users are a little too basic to understand how to turn it off themselves; and second, when a note gets too long, the text gets wrapped not-too-gracefully to the next page. Unfortunately, they use IE7, so the page-break-inside attribute isn't recognized, and upgrading to IE8 or using a different browser is out of the question (I already asked :P)
So with that information, what's the best way to generate a report which features rich text?
I suggest DataDynamics ActiveReports. Very powerful, lightyears ahead Crystal. Give it a try!
