Hello,

Just to let you know, I managed to work around the hosting restrictions so I could access your database and install the required plugins.

I reviewed some WPML tables and everything appears to be in place. However, this might be related to another known WPML issue. I have escalated the case to our 2nd tier team for further investigation and advice.

I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Regards,
Dražen

Hello,

It looks like the error

WordPress database error Table 'local.wp_icl_translate_job' doesn't exist for query SELECT MAX

is related to a known issue in WPML 4.9, which should be fixed in the upcoming 4.9.1 release.

In the meantime, the best workaround is to revert to the previous versions of WPML and WPML String Translation. I have already done this on the staging site, and everything seems to be working correctly now.

Please check from your side and let me know if you notice any other errors or issues. If anything else comes up, we can continue in a new ticket to keep things organized.

Regards,
Dražen
