Overview of the Issue
When using Divi with WPML, you might experience an issue where migrating a site from Divi 4 to Divi 5 fails using the Divi migrator tool, showing the message: “Something went wrong while Migrating to Divi 5”.
This can happen if there are ghost entries in WPML’s translation tables. Ghost entries are leftover or orphaned translation records in the database that no longer correspond to existing content, which can interfere with the migration process.
Workaround
This issue is fixed. Updating to the latest version solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.
Before migrating to Divi 5, please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Go to WPMLSupport and open Database & strings maintenance (on WPML 5.0 and later this tool comes with the WPML Troubleshooting plugin, installed from WPMLActivate & Update).
- Click on the “Remove ghost entries from the translation tables” button.
- Wait until the operation is completed.
- Try to run the migration to Divi 5 again.
