integrationN	Hello there, I made a new site recently and I used Bridge theme with WPML. I installed WPML Sitepress Multilingual first and then selected String Translation and Translation Management to be installed from plugins' settings. After more than an hour, plugins didn't installed succesfully, so I tried to upload them via FTP. When I tried to activate String Translation and/or Translation Management, site crashed which means that a blank page show up. I renamed the folders of these 2 plugins and everything came back. After that I tried to deactivate Sitepress Multilingual and activate the other 2 plugins and site worked perfectly. I deleted everything via FTP and installed them again, but same thing happened. Site is working with Sitepress Multilingual alone, or with String Translation and Translation Management. I tried to switch theme and activated all of them, and everything worked fine. I searched in theme's comments about this and people said that is a WPML problem. Do you have any idea of what may cause this problem?

integrationN	Hello, Thank you for your answer. Meanwhile the site was transferred to a new domain, htaccess is checked and memory tags were removed from wp-config. I activated all 3 plugins, that I referred to in previous message, front-end works but backend is still a blank page with these errors: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32768 bytes) in /home/pr0ject/[user]/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 3038 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/[user]/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1972 I can see that there is no WPML plugins' path in errors but they appear only when WPML is activated. New domain is same as before but with tld .gr Thank you for your time!

Riffaz Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Colombo (GMT+05:30)	Hi, Thank you for the details. The new error means that your WP Memory is enough to run WPML plugin and your site strings/contents. I see you have only 40MB as your WP Memory limit: This is not enough for sure. Please increase it as much as you can and check the issue : https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP Regards,

integrationN	My issue is resolved now. It was a memory issue! Thank you very much for your time!
