Background of the issue:
I am trying to update PHP on my site. When I update to PHP above 7.4.33, the site goes down. I expected to see a live website. The issue seems to be linked to WPML String Translation, as indicated by the error log entry: /wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/TranslateWpmlString.php.
Symptoms:
The site is down with a Fatal Error related to WPML String Translation on PHP 8.x. The debug log repeatedly references set_locale_from_session.
Questions:
Why does updating PHP above 7.4.33 cause the site to go down?
How can I resolve the Fatal Error related to WPML String Translation on PHP 8.x?
