svetoslavK	Hi, we have some extremely slow queries caused by WPML plugin. They cause a high CPU and memory usage - load of up to 100% for 20-30 secs while saving a translation. No frontend problem, just backend on saving pages. I deactivated all plugins and made suggested changes ( Auto ID adjust state, Track where strings appear , Auto register strings, query monitor, DELETE FROM `wp_icl_strings` WHERE status = 0, etc), but WP admin area is still extremely slow. How to proceed? Thank you!

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi. Thank you for contacting the WPML support forum. I think that you are having the same issue as in the following tickets. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-product-page-edit-admin-ajax-server-crash/ https://wpml.org/forums/topic/admin-ajax-in-wp-admi-is-404-not-found-in-wpml-multilanguage-cms-version-4-0-2/ If it is indeed the same issue, then our developers have already fixed it, and it will be included in the next release of WPML. But I still need to be sure that it is indeed the same issue. Could you please send me to a page on you backend where the issue occurs? Thanks, Itamar.

svetoslavK	Thank you, Itamar! Perhaps it is the same problem, because I added the code suggested at first link if( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) { wp_die( '0', 400 ); in wp-config.php ... and the problem is solved. If i remove this code, the high CPU and memory usage is back. Is this temporary solution ok? The issue occurs on every admin page where we edit wp post, page, portfolio, etc... Backend example - Editing home page - hidden link When can we expect next release of WPML? Best Regards, svetoslavK

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Great! I'm glad that this workaround helped you. I can see in our internal documentation that this will be fixed with WPML version 4.0.3 which supposes to be released in a few days. I'll keep you informed here when it is released. Best Regards, Itamar.

svetoslavK	Unfortunately, this workaround ( if( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) { wp_die( '0', 400 ); in wp-config.php ) breaks some of the Avada Fusion builder's functionality. For example - library elements, builder element file uploading, etc... They stuck on loading.
