laura-ashleyG	Background of the issue: Good morning, I've just installed WPML on my development site, but when I try to do the WPML setup, there are no languages to setup (it says "No Data"). When I go to the plugin page I get the message "WPML is missing some records in the languages tables and it cannot fully work until this issue is fixed. Please go to the Troubleshooting page and click on "Clear language information and repopulate languages" to fix this problem." I have tried clicking on that button, and do get the message "DONE", but the problem remains. What can I do to get WPML running on my site?

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for reaching us. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified. Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements. Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me. ✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup. 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: define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' ); After adding the code you can confirm that the memory was changed correctly from WPML > Support > WordPress > Memory limit.

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Could you please reach out to your hosting provider and ask for database access(phpmyadmin)? Tell them that you need to share this information with a plugin author to check on the database. Also, please ask to backup the entire server.

laura-ashleyG	Hi Kor, Everything seems to be working fine, but I still get the "WPML is missing some records in the languages tables and it cannot fully work until this issue is fixed" message on my website. Is that normal? Should it not be fixed by now? I was able to do the basic setup - but I want to make sure all is set up right before I start translating. Many thanks
