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

Problem:
If you're trying to convert from Polylang to WPML and encounter a fatal error, it might be due to a Polylang function being called directly in your theme's

functions.php

file.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, you can either remove the problematic function from your

functions.php

file or wrap it in a conditional statement that checks if the function exists before calling it. Here are some examples of how to implement this check:

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello again, I recognized your email address. As discussed in our call, the issue is related to a Polylang function called directly in your functions.php. I already sent you an email but let me share this information here as it could help more clients. - You can solve this either by removing the function or wrapping it up inside a conditional that will first check if the function exists before running the function. Some examples: hidden link https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/111299/why-use-if-function-exists Please confirm when this issue is solved so we can close that ticket. Cheers, Nico

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, We're advancing! Because it's more of a technical issue than really a coaching session it would be better if you could provide me access to your staging copy. I will activate a private field for your next answer where you can provide that information safely (this field is only visible by you and the support team). Don't share your own admin account, create a new one that you will delete when we finish troubleshooting. Don't share credentials if you don't see that private form. IMPORTANT: Before we proceed, please backup your site and database. If I find the issue and solve it I will give you clear instructions so you can do the same on your main site.
