Hello, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your excellent work in creating, developing, and maintaining the outstanding multilingual plugin.
I am reaching out to you because I have encountered an error with WPML and would appreciate your assistance in resolving the issue.
# Overview
- After moving the server, I am receiving an error "Table '{database_name}.wp_icl_strings' doesn't exist" upon installing WPML anew.
- The error message says, "Some problems were detected with some of the database tables. Please contact WPML support to fix this." As instructed, I am contacting you.
- When attempting to open the WPML settings for "Configuration," "Translation," and "Language," a "Fatal error" occurs.
- Since this error appeared in the production environment, I created a test environment with the same configuration, and the same error occurred. (I have disabled WPML in production)

# What I Have Done
- I wanted to translate my operational site into English and installed WPML for that purpose. The translation process went smoothly without any issues.
- However, the site was running slowly due to WordPress's weight, so I decided to create a new site and migrated it using "All in one WP migration."
- Before exporting with "All in one WP migration," I wanted to use a clean version of WPML on the new site. Therefore, I optimized and deleted the unused database tables from the migration source, which I suspect might be the cause of the current issue.
- The server migration with "All in one WP migration" was successful for everything except WPML. When I tried to install WPML anew, I encountered the error mentioned above, and I'm having trouble resolving it.
Finally, I want to let you know that English is not my strong suit, so my writing might be difficult to understand. However, I am committed to resolving this issue and would appreciate your cooperation. Thank you!
Yes, I had "WPML" installed on the site before the migration. However, I wanted to use a clean "WPML" on the site after the migration, so I deleted the "WPML" tables from the site before migrating. I apologize if my explanation was insufficient.
I checked the database, and indeed, the "icl_strings" table does not exist. How can I recreate the "icl_strings" tables?

I see - it was not the proper approach to start anew because there are still WPML settings stored in database and these are now calling tables that are no longer there.
That being said, can you go to wp_options table and delete all these?
You can also get them with query:
SELECT * FROM `wp_options` WHERE `option_name` LIKE '%icl%'
Check my image for reference. Before this, make sure to deactivate WPML. After you removed these entries - most notable being icl_sitepress_settings because it holds WPML settings, try activating WPML again. Since all the settings are now removed, you should be able to start a wizard anew.
