bei-xianK	I am trying to:access a category page Link to a page where the issue can be seen:hidden link I expected to see: All posts under that category Instead, I got: Recoverable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mythtravels/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/seo/class-wpml-seo-headlangs.php on line 56 The site is experiencing technical difficulties. I'm also seeing this problem in my backend that might be affecting other functions in my website: WPML can't run normally. There is an installation or server configuration problem.

bei-xianK	Another problem that is happening is that the Post Types Translation and Taxonomies Translation settings are not saving properly. Can you please check for me too?

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi. I'm not sure why this problem happened with the 'bangkok' category (it is not happening with the other categories as I can see), but I suspect that it is a problem that was coming from your theme. In any case, I fixed it on your site. Here is what I found and how I fixed it. 1. In the editing screen of the category, I could see that it is translated into Malay, but the is no value. Please see the attached screenshot bangkok-n-a.jpg 2. So in WPML -> Taxonomy Translation I've added a translation (currently I only copied the English value) into Malay and Chinese. Now the n/a is not showing. Please see the attached screenshot added-trans.jpg 3. And in the frot-end, I can see that there is no fatal error. Please see the attached screenshot bangkok-ok.jpg You also wrote: "WPML can't run normally. There is an installation or server configuration problem. Show details AJAX Error: error [403] URL:hidden link" Can you please explain to me what the problem on this page is? You also write: "Another problem that is happening is that the Post Types Translation and Taxonomies Translation settings are not saving properly." Can you please tell me what do you mean that they are not saving properly and how to see that? Thanks, Itamar. bangkok-n-a.jpg added-trans.jpg bangkok-ok.jpg

bei-xianK	1. Thanks for resolving the Bangkok issue. 2. WPML can't run normally. There is an installation or server configuration problem. Show details AJAX Error: error [403] The above error was shown in all my wp-admin pages but I'm not sure if it's affecting the flow of my website. 3. Post Types Translation and Taxonomies Translation settings are not saving properly. I would like to make my Media and Post not translatable so I have gone to the settings to try to make them non translatable. However, when I click save and waited for it to save, and then refresh again, the settings went back to Default.
