WordPress 6.6 moves away from PHP 7, embracing the faster and more efficient PHP 8+. This release of WPML ensures full compatibility with the latest WordPress and PHP versions.
WordPress 6.6 Changes Support for PHP Versions
WordPress 6.6, scheduled for release on July 16, brings numerous enhancements to the Block Editor, plus a host of other improvements.
Notably, it changes the recommended PHP version to 7.4 or later, dropping support for PHP 7.0 and 7.1.
WPML 4.6.12 adds support for PHP 8.3 and enhances the overall experience with PHP 8.x.
Get Ready for Better Than Human Translations!
We’re excited to introduce two major upcoming features, which will work together to deliver automatic translation that’s often better than human translation:
WPML AI is our new translation engine. It uses LLM technology to deliver contextual and native translation.
Maiya will make sure that WPML understands precisely what your text means and that we translate it correctly.
Maiya will help you produce better than human translations
How to Update
As usual, we’re releasing WPML 4.6.12 and String Translation 3.2.13 gradually. As this is not a critical update, we recommend waiting until the updates reach your site.
If you prefer to update immediately, go to Plugins → Add New, click the Commercial tab, and hit the Check for updates button.
Hi Marco,
Thanks for getting in touch. I passed your message on to our development team, who have informed me that this issue did not appear in our automated tests. In the tickets that you previously opened, it seems that our team was unable to reproduce your issue. However, we would really like to get to the bottom of this – it may be due to a different setup, or it may be something our automated tests missed. Could you please open a Support ticket again, so that a qualified team member can assist you?

Hi Mashal,
I’m not sure if I understand your question. Could you please clarify if you’re looking to have an account on WPML.org? If so, this requires you to purchase a WPML plan. If you have any questions about how exactly WPML works and how the plans differ, please take a look at the recent pre-sales questions, or ask your own.
Hi. We are running WPML 4.6.13. If I upgrade PHP to v8.2, on every page, the first element after the body tag is offset by exactly 50px in the Spanish translation. This doesn’t happen with the original English. What could be causing that?
Hi, Eric! In general, updating the PHP version shouldn’t impact a site’s front-end display but there are certain cases where it could happen. Without looking at the site more closely, it’s impossible to tell what causes this but I would expect it to be related to the theme or some other plugin rather than WPML. The best would be to report this in our support forum and let our supporters take a look.
We’re still getting “Deprecated: rtrim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated” since PHP 8.1 when WPML is active, as reported more than one year ago: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/deprecated-rtrim-passing-null-to-parameter-1-string-php-8-1/
