[Resolved] Change default language of category

Hello there,

Welcome to WPML support. I'd be happy to help you with this.

Can you please open the category translations first and set the translations to be not of the default language category, there should be "This is a translation of" select box, you should select none, while the original category doesn't have any translations you can change the langauge of it.

If the similar issue occurs after the above steps, It looks like there is some php error happening on your site which is creating the problem, being so can you please follow the below steps and share me the results.

1. Add the following code to your wp-config.php

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/

2. Repeat the action of creating the problem.

3. Copy and paste the contents of debug.log (log file inside the /wp-content/ directory) here for me to see. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/#how-to-send-debug-log-to-the-supporters

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

The Unkategorisiert has a English translations, I disconnected it and now I can change the language of the category without any issue, please check and confirm.

Thanks

Hello

I can see it, but once I save the permalinks the error is not there, I don't think this is caused by us, I suspect that the server resources are reaching the limit.

Please contact your server provider and ask about the frequent internal server error once.

Thanks
