This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is working on a site under development and is trying to use WPML with WP All Import. They are facing issues with automating the WPML export and import process, as it requires manual initiation.
Solution:
We confirmed that the WPML Export & Import add-on does not support automation through cron jobs, webhooks, or custom PHP calls. The import process must be manually triggered. For automating the import process, the client needs to configure WP All Import directly. The WPML add-on only ensures that the multilingual data is correctly structured and mapped during the import. For more details on how to import with WPML Export & Import, please visit WPML Export & Import documentation.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
