Critical error with WPML Multilingual CMS

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
"An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 3937"
There was a conflict between WPML and the latest version of Google Site Kit (1.106)

Solution:
On the moment, the workaround was to downgrade to Google Site Kit 1.105, but a few days after we released WPML 4.6.5 which solved the issue. Please update WPML.

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, can you please enable the WordPress debug log? This will allow us to see if any PHP errors are being produced. More Info: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress In order to do that, edit the wp-config.php file inside your WordPress directory and insert the following lines: define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false ); Now please reproduce the issue once again. Locate the debug log in: /wp-content/debug.log Paste the content (if any) on a site like pastebin.com and then share the link here with us (only you and us will see the URL you are sharing). We will be waiting for your response. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

colourI	Hi Done. Also I was able to have the plugin enabled with PHP 7.4 and so we could get the debug info hidden by supporter

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. That's the WPML debug information, what I recommended is that you go through the steps in the URL I shared to activate the WordPress debug mode and get the full extra errors that are not shown by default on the screen. For the WPML debug information, there's a special field that I am enabling below now in case you want to share that again, too. But we don't share that private information publicly, only in the private field I am enabling below. Mihai

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Let me jump here because I think that you have Google Site Kit installed on your site. Looking at the source code I can see <meta name="generator" content="Site Kit by Google 1.106.0" />. Please note that there is a conflict between WPML and the latest version of Google Site Kit (1,106) as mentioned here: https://wpml.org/errata/site-kit-by-google-uncaught-typeerror-illegal-offset-type-in-isset-or-empty-in/ We already fixed it and the patch will be implemented in the next WPML release (4.6.5) which is scheduled for beginning of next week. In the meantime, please downgrade to the previous version of Google Site Kit: hidden link

colourI	Ok but if we delete the plugin we have now and upload the file you sent we'll have to to the integration with analytics again, right?

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, In your dashboard ("Plugins > Add new") you can upload the zip file and overwrite the plugin you already have. Ref: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-between-wpml-4-6-4-and-site-kit-1-106-0/ If you don't have to wait the new WPML release next week, you can also patch the code yourself (please make a backup first). - Edit the file wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/url-handling/wpml-url-filters.class.php and replace: if ( ! $this->is_display_as_translated_mode( $post_element ) && $post_element->is_translatable() ) { - with: if ( ! is_wp_error( $post_element->get_wp_element_type() ) && ! $this->is_display_as_translated_mode( $post_element ) && $post_element->is_translatable() ) {
