Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and using WPML to edit translations. The site has been auto-translated, and I am now editing translations that need improvement. I use the 'Edit Translation' option in the topbar on pages like hidden link. I have also tried using the Advanced Translation Editor in the Admin -> Pages.
Symptoms:
When I use 'Edit Translation' in the topbar, the changes do not appear immediately on the site. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes, and sometimes they never appear. The Advanced Translation Editor updates more consistently. Disabling the Lightspeed plugin did not resolve the issue.
Questions:
Why is there a delay in translation updates when using 'Edit Translation' in the topbar?
Why do changes appear more consistently with the Advanced Translation Editor?
Could the Lightspeed plugin be affecting translation updates?
Some plugin conflicts could cause this. While checking the debug info, I see that the WordPress Memory Limit is below the requirements. The minimum requirements are 128M, but we do recommend 256M and the debug information of your site shows it set to 40M. Please check this link for more details https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/.
You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file, right before the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:
