Problem: You are encountering PHP warnings related to open_basedir restrictions after a recent update, which may affect WPML translation functionalities. You are wondering if a change to the open_basedir configuration is necessary or if this issue is related to WPML that requires a fix or update. Solution: First, ensure that your WPML plugins are updated to the latest version, 4.7.2, to benefit from recent bug fixes and improvements. This update might not directly resolve the open_basedir issue but will aid in effective troubleshooting. You can download the latest versions from My Account -> Downloads on the WPML website. If updates are not visible, click the "Check for updates" button in the Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab. Remember to back up your database before updating.
Additionally, enable WP_DEBUG to display all PHP errors, notices, and warnings, which can help identify and fix issues related to PHP code. For more information on debugging in WordPress, visit Debugging WordPress.

Problem: You are inquiring why WPML was using different records and how to configure the plugin so that people in Germany are automatically directed to the German version of your website. Solution: We currently do not have an option to automatically direct users based on their geographic location. However, you can use the browser language redirect feature to direct users with a German browser language to the German version of your site. Please be aware that using this feature might affect how Google indexes your site. For more details on setting this up and its implications, please visit the following links:

Problem:
I'm attempting to translate a header template created with WPBakery Page Builder. Despite translating the content, the changes are not visible in the DE version of the site, and I'm unable to translate certain functions as well.
Solution:
The issue was addressed by using a different widget that is compatible with WPML. The specific WP Bakery widget named "HEADING" used in the theme is not compatible with WPML. For the translation to be effective, either the theme developer needs to make their WP Bakery widgets compatible with WPML or an alternative, compatible widget should be used.
