Problem: The client reported an issue with WPML where the database table '_icl_strings' was missing, causing some functionalities to not work as expected. Additionally, there was a problem with translating content using the Spectra Gutenberg Blocks plugin. Solution: For the missing database tables, we recommended following the steps outlined in our errata page: https://wpml.org/errata/missing-_icl_strings-_icl_string_translations-data-tables/. For the translation issues with the Spectra Gutenberg Blocks plugin, we provided an XML configuration to add to the WPML settings. Here is the XML code to use:
After adding the XML, the client should make a minor edit to the original page and update the translation. If these solutions do not resolve the issues or if they seem outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
