Problem: The client reported an issue where Widget Group titles were not displaying in the translated language on their multilingual site, despite the content within the Widget Group blocks being correctly translated. The REST API was initially reported as disabled by WPML but later appeared as enabled.
Solution: We resolved this issue in the latest version of WPML (4.9.0). To address this, we recommend updating to WPML 4.9.0 along with the latest versions of Strings Translation (3.5.0), Media Translation (3.1.0), and WCML (5.5.4). Here are the steps to update: 1. Navigate to Plugins → Add New Plugin in your site’s admin panel. 2. Click the Commercial tab. 3. Press the Check for updates button. 4. Select WPML 4.9 from the list and click Install. Please ensure to back up your site fully (both files and database) before proceeding with the update. More details about WPML 4.9.0 can be found here.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 issues persist, please open a new support ticket.
