supriyaN	Hi WPML Support Team, We are currently setting up WPML on our testing website: hidden link During the setup process, we are getting the following error: “The WordPress REST API must be enabled for WPML to work correctly.” We tested the REST API endpoint and it appears to be accessible. However, we are also seeing multiple PHP deprecation warnings during the WPML setup. We reached out to our IT support team, and after their investigation they informed us that: * The server is currently running PHP 8.4 * WPML may not yet be fully compatible with PHP 8.4 * They are unable to downgrade the server PHP version Could you please help us with: * The correct way to set up WPML in this environment * Any workaround or recommended configuration for PHP 8.4 * Any additional steps needed to complete the installation successfully Please let us know how we can proceed. Thanks

Hi WPML Support Team,

We are currently setting up WPML on our testing website:
hidden link

During the setup process, we are getting the following error:

“The WordPress REST API must be enabled for WPML to work correctly.”

We tested the REST API endpoint and it appears to be accessible. However, we are also seeing multiple PHP deprecation warnings during the WPML setup.

We reached out to our IT support team, and after their investigation they informed us that:

* The server is currently running PHP 8.4
* WPML may not yet be fully compatible with PHP 8.4
* They are unable to downgrade the server PHP version

Could you please help us with:

* The correct way to set up WPML in this environment
* Any workaround or recommended configuration for PHP 8.4
* Any additional steps needed to complete the installation successfully

Please let us know how we can proceed.

Thanks
