Vladimir	Background of the issue: I am trying to get rid of an error message concerning a missing table. I worked on internalizationing a file per your documentation. It worked and found my strings in the 'strings translations' but the translations wouldn't appear on the translated page. I activated DEBUG and got an error message. I noticed that the error message disappears when WPML String Translation is disabled. I saw a post on your support pages where it was advised to add this code in functions.php but it didn't fix the issue: function wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables() { if( function_exists( 'icl_sitepress_activate' ) ) icl_sitepress_activate(); } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables' ); Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: Error message: wp_icl_string_batches table does not exist. WordPress database error: [Table 'testLumi_1739281061.wp_icl_string_batches' doesn't exist]. The error message disappears when WPML String Translation is disabled. Questions: How can I fix the missing wp_icl_string_batches table error? Why do translations not appear on the translated page despite being found in 'strings translations'?
