Houzez theme and Elementor - PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: trim()

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

Problem:

When translating the homepage with ATE, the following fatal error occurs.

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: trim(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/st/class-wpml-pb-string-registration.php:95

Solution:

1. Go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration (tab).

2. Insert the following code.

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="houzez_elementor_icon_box">
      <conditions>
        <condition key="widgetType">houzez_elementor_icon_box</condition>
      </conditions>
      <fields-in-item items_of="icon_boxes">
        <field type="Icon Box: Title" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
        <field type="Icon Box: Text" editor_type="LINE">text</field>
        <field type="Icon Box: Read More Text" editor_type="AREA">read_more_text</field>
        <field type="Icon Box: Read More Link" editor_type="LINK">read_more_link>link</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

3. Press the Save button.

4. Check if now the problem is fixed and you can translate the homepage.

For this, we need a copy of your site. I've created a temporary server on our Cludways server for this. You will be able to migrate your site there. The process is quite easy. Please read all the information and explanations in the following private reply. Regards, Itamar.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, No, you should pay nothing. I'm not sure why you see a request to pay anything. If you can not proceed, please share a screenshot of the screen where you requested to pay 10 EUR. Thanks, Itamar.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, I've checked things on the copy of your site. In the beginning, I got the same fatal error when translating the homepage. But then I noticed that Elementor is not updated on the site. It was on version 3.12.2. So I updated it to the latest version, 3.13.0. And after that, I didn't get this fatal error. So it seems that Elementor was the cause of this problem. Please update Elementor to its latest version and check if the fatal error persists on your site. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks, Itamar.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, and thanks for following my suggestion and reporting back to me. I'll continue to investigate this tomorrow. Please tell me if you are still getting the same fatal error. PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: trim(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/st/class-wpml-pb-string-registration.php:95 Or is it a different one now? Thanks, Itamar.

andrejsS-4	where I can check it? Im getting this screen
May 9, 2023 at 3:30 pm #13615331
Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Thanks! Can you now please check the debug.log for that actual error? It is as I explained, and you followed when we were a chat. You should see the debug.log in the /wp-content/ folder. Check for the errors from the last minute you tried this and the fatal error occurred. Thanks, Itamar.
