We have a capabilities manager that allows us to set specific Roles in WordPress to access and translate, this has been the case for over 5 years.

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Please try the workaround mentioned in the following ticket after creating a full backup: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/issue-with-wpml-admin-capabilities/#post-15220070

Then make sure that the WPML capabilities are granted for the custom user role.

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed.

That workaround URL directs to a private ticket that I'm unable to view.

Can you help with that?

Hi,

Please try the following steps after creating a full backup:

1. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/wpml/wp/classes/User.php
2. Replace the following code (line 222):

return self::hasCap( self::CAP_ADMINISTRATOR, $user );

With: 

return self::hasCap('manage_options', $user);

3. Make sure that the "Manage Options" and WPML capabilities are granted.
