You have my permission to deactivate/activate plugins/themes during the debugging process.

You should also recieve an email from raidboxes.io regarding sftp access to the staging hosting.

Hi,

Thanks for the access on raidboxes.io, I was able to access it.

Can you please add on your nginx.conf file the following code:

add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;

You then will have to restart the webserver, clear all server-side cache and browser cache and check if the issue persists.

Looking forward to your reply,
Marsel

So I created a new blank installation in my hosting without any other plugins and the WPML setup worked, therefore it cannot be related to the X-Content-Type-Options.

Could this be database related? I have debug the issue with our hosting support and the blank site installation working would rule out it being server related.

Marsel Nikolli

Thank you for the update.

In that case, I would suggest starting the installation of the plugins on your website from WPML first and then the others one by one keeping track of whether the issue will happen again.

That would help check if it might be related to any possible plugin/s conflict.

You can access the database via the Raidbox login associated with the email account you gave me and I give consent for you to make any amendments

I have also tried the Rest and Clean up operations in the Troubleshooting section and neither option fixed the issue.

Could this be a firewall issue on you side?

philV-4

Any progress on looking into this?

Hi,

Can you try if the issue persists with an older WPML version (4.6.10)?

Please remove the WPML plugins from the plugins folder and upload the ones from the older version. You can find the older version in this link:
https://wpml.org/download/wpml-multilingual-cms/?section=changelog

* I wasn't able to access the FTP to test it myself.

Looking forward to your reply,
Marsel

I have tried and this did not work

Hi Phil,

Thank you for the update.

Since the staging site is not active anymore, is there any way you can re-enable it or try to reproduce the issue?
