Ever since we started using WPML to translate pages, I have been facing an issue while trying to edit the pages.

Hello again,

As I mentioned we will investigate further.
In the meantime, can you try to create another staging copy and see if the issue disappear? As the production site is working fine, it could be a bug introduced while creating the first staging copy.

Hello,

I found the culprit. If I deactivate WP File Manager I have access to the pages. Could you please the credentials unchanged for now as I want to escalate this (that's a pretty popular plugin).

In case you want to work on that staging site, would it be possible to get a duplicator package instead?

For this, you need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” on your site. This will allow you to create a copy of your site and your content.
I have activated a private field for you where you can share those files (package + installer).
- You must exclude /wp-uploads from the copy to reduce the size
- Once the package is ready, if the files are too large to upload them to the private field, you can share a link to Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or any other similar service.

Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.

I was away and didn't check your previous messages.

Thank you for finding and fixing the issue, no wonder why it stopped happening on live environment (since I update the plug ins every monday morning)

Thanks again, this is fixed now
