[Closed] Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WP_Textdomain_Registry

Hi @nigel,

my site works with WordPress 5.9.5 and is also broken. I suspect it is not only due to the WordPress version used.

Ideas?

@ruediger it sounds like you have a different problem, can you please create a new thread or open a chat where someone will be able to look into the specifics of your issue.

To the other new commenters asking about a fix, please see me first reply to this thread:

@nigela One problem here is that (at least these) WPML updates didn't show up on site management software such as MainWP etc. because they were not handled by the normal WP update process (why?), but instead require a manual check for updates. This is a major downside to your current update implementation and causes a fair bit of manual labour for someone managing many sites.

I, for example, scanned the sites for updates several times, even just a moment ago, in MainWP after your earlier email, but the sites showed no updates available so I thought you hadn't released the update yet. I had no idea that a manual check was required as this was not mentioned in your email, just that you'd be releasing an update.

Maybe that's something you should look into, yes?

So how do I proceed if I already have the latest WordPress verision installed and want to install WPML?

Glad I came to WPML support forums quickly to check for updates rather than throw away hours trying to troubleshoot this on my own.

For those who don't have WP-CLI, it can save your bacon in this situation: hidden link (hidden, strange, just search for it)

wp plugin deactivate wpml-string-translation

will get you back online but who knows what kind of problems might emerge.

Then follow the update instructions from @nigela

It doesn´t work for all our sites.....the site of our agency chrushed. I deactivate WPML now and will wait till you solve the problem.

@francescof-25 @PaulaonTour please see the first reply in this thread which details how to update WPML plugins if you experience this same problem:

@nigel thanks for the help.

I'm updating the main plugin to v4.5.12 but the activation first failed due to server error, and the second time is taking more thank 20 minutes and still loading. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue and can we do something about that or just wait, or cancel and try again?

Thanks
