This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: You are experiencing 'Internal Server Error' issues, which seem to be related to the WPML plugin modifying the .htaccess file. Solution: 1. Refer to the workaround suggested in the following documentation: Why is .htaccess getting overwritten with the language folder on my WPML website? 2. Re-save Permalinks from the Settings >> Permalinks page by pressing the 'Save Changes' button. 3. Clear all sorts of site/server/CDN cache.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue where the WPML plugin modifies the .htaccess file, causing 'Internal Server Error' problems. The host corrected the .htaccess file from: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase /en/ RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /en/index.php [L] </IfModule> to: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> and added: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress. They suggested deactivating the plugin to check if the problem persists. The issue can be seen at: hidden link

Questions:
What can we do to prevent the problem from happening again?
Hello Drazen,
I tried to add the code on functions.php but I don't find the "Editor" on WordPress to add the code.
Do you know where can I find it?,
Thank you so much,
Hello again Drazen,
Finally I added the code via Code Snippets plugin. I attach you a screenshot.
Could you let me know if I added it correctly?,
Also I deleted the cache,
Do I have to do something more?,
Thanks so much,
