Problem: The client is not receiving email notifications anymore and needs clarification on the correct media settings in WPML. Solution: For the media settings, we recommend setting Media (attachment) to 'Translatable (only show translated items)'. This setting ensures that WPML does not duplicate the actual image files but may duplicate media metadata (such as title, alt text, captions, and descriptions) for translation, depending on how the media is used. This approach has no significant impact on database size and does not create duplicate files on the server. For more details, please visit WPML Media Translation documentation. If you're still not receiving email notifications, this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. 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 issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Problem: The client cannot access the invoices section in WPML > Translation Management > Tools > invoices, as the page remains blank. Additionally, there are errors in ATE logs and concerns about loss of previous human translations and server connection issues.
Solution: 1. We suggest following the method explained in an existing ticket to access invoices: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/invoices-overview-empty-javascript-error/#post-14994701. 2. We recommend making a full backup of the website and updating all available plugins. 3. We found 'CURL error 28' errors in the ATE logs, indicating connection issues with our servers. It is necessary to contact hosting/server support to verify if connections are being blocked by a firewall or similar rules. 4. If the customer needs specific invoices, we can send them by email at the customer's request. 5. If clicking 'check now' on the WPML installer support page shows two green checks, then the connection is fine and the issue might have been resolved by the hosting.
