Problem: If you're experiencing a fatal error when trying to activate the WPML plugin, it might be due to an issue with your MySQL version. The error message indicates a problem with creating a table because only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in the DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause is allowed. Solution: We recommend updating your MySQL to the latest stable version supported by your hosting environment. This issue often occurs with MySQL versions ≤ 5.5 or early versions of 5.6, which only allow one TIMESTAMP column with DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP per table. Updating MySQL should resolve this issue. Additionally, consider updating PHP to the latest supported version to enhance performance, security, and compatibility with modern plugins.

Problem: You have noticed that WPML is not showing new versions for updates, and it seems stuck on version 4.6.12 despite the license being detected correctly. Solution: We have found that the 'Check for updates' option was turned off in your wp-config.php file. We recommend that you first ensure you have a full backup of your website. Then, remove the line in the wp-config.php file that disables the update checks. After making these changes, check if the updates are now visible.

Problema: O blog em português (PT) e francês (FR) abre na versão em inglês (EN) devido ao uso de custom links no menu principal. Solução: Se você está enfrentando este problema, recomendamos duas soluções: 1. Substitua o custom link por uma página do Blog como item de menu, semelhante ao que foi feito com outros itens. 2. Crie manualmente as traduções para este menu e insira o custom link do Blog com o diretório de idioma apropriado para cada link.

Problème : Le client a copié son site de marquislandscaping.ca à marquisseptiques.ca et a rencontré des problèmes pour mettre à jour la clé WPML sur le nouveau site. Après avoir désactivé les plugins WPML et installé le 'WPML Installer', il a été redirigé vers une page d'erreur 'Oops' lorsqu'il a tenté d'accéder à la section commerciale comme indiqué dans les instructions. Solution : Nous avons initialement demandé un accès temporaire au wp-admin pour résoudre le problème. Cependant, le client a choisi de désinstaller complètement WPML, de vider les caches et la base de données, puis de réinstaller WPML, ce qui a résolu le problème.
Il est important de noter que cette solution pourrait ne pas être pertinente si elle est obsolète ou ne correspond pas à votre cas.

Problema: Se você está enfrentando um problema onde o elemento de blog na homepage em inglês, o idioma base do site, está mostrando artigos em português e as imagens correspondentes não aparecem, isso pode ser devido a um problema geral do tema. Solução: Nós identificamos que o Widget customizado do Elementor Blog Grid não separa o conteúdo por idioma. Recomendamos que você entre em contato com o autor do tema para resolver essa questão, pois não é algo que possamos ajustar apenas pelo lado do WPML.
Se essa solução se mostrar irrelevante, por estar desatualizada ou simplesmente por não se aplicar ao seu caso, sugerimos que abra um novo ticket de suporte.

Problem: You are unable to translate the "Colissimo with signature" string into French and in the back office, a French string appears in the original language field, which should be English, and you cannot change it back. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend the following steps: 1- Select the problematic string. 2- Delete it. 3- Go to the page where the string is located so that WPML can scan it again. 4- Navigate to WPML > String Translation and modify the language if it is incorrect. 5- Proceed with the translation. If these steps do not resolve your issue, please provide us with temporary access to your admin interface.

Problem: The client wants to change the shipping label/name for DHL in WooCommerce which displays as "DHL Express 2-3 business days" using WPML, but cannot find the relevant strings in the String Translation interface. Solution: We explained that WPML allows adding translations but does not permit changes to the source text, which is provided by the plugin itself. We also noted that the DHL Express plugin might not be WPML compatible. To confirm this, we suggested testing the plugin in an isolated environment. We provided a link for the client to set up the DHL Express plugin on a test site to verify compatibility with WPML. Here is the link to set up the test environment: Test DHL Express Plugin.

Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where the language switcher widget disappears when you navigate to the translated version of your site, it might be due to the Header template not being translated. Solution: We recommend translating the Header template. You can do this by navigating to WPML > Translation Dashboard and ensuring the Header template is fully translated. This should resolve the issue and make the language switcher visible on your translated site.

Problem: If you've installed the OTGS installer and the WPML plugin, but the setup page appears blank and the configuration doesn't start, this might indicate a specific issue with your website or server environment rather than a general WPML problem. Solution: We recommend checking if other core WordPress functionalities, such as the WordPress Site Health > Info page, are also failing to load. If they are, it suggests that the problem lies with a core WordPress function, specifically
got_url_rewrite()
, which WPML also relies on. This issue is likely specific to your server or environment. Please contact your hosting provider to resolve any underlying issues with this function. Once resolved, try loading the WPML setup page again. If the problem persists, please contact us for further assistance.
