Tell us what you are trying to do?
I installed WPML. I had couple of sample pages that I wanted to delete, unfortunately I deleted pages I didn't want to. When I go to pages list and slect trash there are only two pages but WP counts 54 pages in the Trash: Trash (54) .
I guess that these are not assigned to any language and maybe that's why I can't see them. How can I get these back, or assign to my main language?
Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Could you please follow the steps below and let me know how it goes?
1. Please take a backup of your site first for security reasons.
2. I have noticed that your website’s WP Memory Limit is 40MB. The WP memory limit needs to be increased, it's different from PHP memory. PHP memory is fine but WordPress uses 40Mb as default in your site. Minimum requirements for WPML are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
Please add this to the top of wp-config.php to increase WP memory:
3. Please go to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page and press the below buttons:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- Synchronize posts taxonomies
- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Fix post type assignment for translations
- Set language information
4. Please delete all sorts of caches on your site/server cache if any / plugin cache / CDN cache (if any), clear browser cache, and then see if it resolves the issue afterward.
Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance with this issue.
Thanks. Finally, I disabled WPML, moved everything back from the trash, enabled WPML again and let it find these pages. Although the suggestions you made regarding memory limit are valid, aI have to change them. Thanks.
