Not a big mistake.
Export the private key and restore the wallet using BCH wallet client. I think Electrum has a BCH software.

Electrum does not have a BCH software. It has a fork that was modified for BCH but that is not from the same author as Electrum.

Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin and certain address types are valid for both. It cannot be reversed. Electron Cash is a fork of Electrum. You can export that specific private key and use any wallet that supports Bitcoin Cash to get your funds.

Make sure your BTC wallet has not bitcoin. If there are any bitcoin then move them to a new wallet. Now export the private key or get the seed. Use Electron Cash to restore the BCH wallet for the private key. You will be good to go.

The problem is, was when i transferred the BCH cash to the Electrum BTC wallet i did not know how to get the right address, so i pushed on request and put in the address that was given on the Electrum app, but this seems to change every time i make a new request, i thought my address was a static address and not something that changes for every request.

I think there must me something i have totally misunderstud ?

The fact is that once you create a new account on electrum via the seed phrase method, your account will be associated with so many Bitcoin addresses (some for receiving Bitcoins, others for receiving change) so that should not scare you. All the funds will still end up in your account regardless of which Bitcoin address is generated.

Electrum generates a new receiving address each time you click request by default. All those addresses belong to your wallet and you can recover them at any time as long as you know the seed. So don't worry about that.
Do what the others suggested and see if the BCH you sent appear in the bitcoincash wallet.

Hej again, i know i am really week when it comes to this, because i am a totally newbe and this is all Latin for me, please explain and point out what i need to do.

The thing i did was this, i created a BTC Bitcoin wallet at Electron, then i bought for a sertan ammount BCH Bitcoin Cash on Coinmama, then i get Coinmama to transfer the BCH to my Electrum BTC account, then i did see that nothing landed in my account, so i thought something most be wrong, then i found out it was a BTC and not a BCH account i had created.

After this i made a BCH account at Electrum as one of you asked me to, but the problem is and you need to spell it out word dor word, how can i get the BCH cash i bought from Coinmama over to my BCH Wallet ?

Please you good folks out there explain ?

How did you create the BTC wallet in Electrum? Did you use a seed? Did you select 2FA? How does the wallet look like.

If you import your BTC wallet into a BCH wallet, you should be able to see the transaction and thus your funds. You can spend your coins and send the funds to another BCH address. What problems are you encountering?

1. Install a virtual machine or a sandbox to run the bcash wallet (since it may be malicious)
2. Download and install bcash wallet called electroncash https://electroncash.org/
3. Open your Electrum wallet on your main machine
4.A. If you remember which address you used to receive bcash then go to your Addresses tab (if it is not visible, enable it from your menu View > Show addresses) then right click on that address only and select private key. You may need to enter your password here. Then copy what you see and use it in step 6.
4.B. If you don't remember which address it was then from menu select Wallet > Seed to see your seed words. Copy those and use them in step 6.
5. You must empty this bitcoin wallet before you move to next step. If you have any bitcoins in this wallet, create a new bitcoin wallet in Electrum by going to File > New/restore and sending all your coins to this new wallet.
6. Go to your bcash wallet and import what you acquired in step 4 into it. Do that by going to File > New/restore (if you went 4.A you have to choose "Import bitcoin address or private key", for 4.B you have to choose "Standard wallet" then "I already have a seed")
7. Let the bcash wallet sync and you should see your balance here.

Hi, i have tryed to do what you are recommending and i can see nothing happen on my BCH wallet, there are no bitcoins ?

On Coinmama i can see the recipients addresses, there are 2 in total, on my BTC Bitcoin on Electrum i can see several addresses with green on the left, status receiving, about 20 addresses, but the balance is 0

I am beginning to get really nervous, please help.

4.A. If you remember which address you used to receive bcash then go to your Addresses tab, I never sent to Bcash, i sent to BTC account, thats why i am really affraid that the fund maybe has landed in someone elses account ?(if it is not visible, enable it from your menu View > Show addresses) then right click on that address only and select private key. You may need to enter your password here. Then copy what you see and use it in step 6.
4.B. If you don't remember which address it was then from menu select Wallet > Seed to see your seed words. Copy those and use them in step 6.
5. You must empty this bitcoin wallet before you move to next step, I never had any BTC on my account. If you have any bitcoins in this wallet, create a new bitcoin wallet in Electrum by going to File > New/restore and sending all your coins to this new wallet.
6. Go to your bcash wallet and import what you acquired in step 4 into it, I used the seed which i created the BTC account on, in my BCH new account, this is all very complicated for me, i am still very new to this. Do that by going to File > New/restore (if you went 4.A you have to choose "Import bitcoin address or private key", for 4.B you have to choose "Standard wallet" then "I already have a seed")
7. Let the bcash wallet sync and you should see your balance here.
