[Closed] Redirection issue after clicking "Complete" on Advanced Translation Editor

Thank you for the access, I am working on it and 'll get back to you accordingly.

One more thing I forgot to mention is that, at this point my only suspect is about the REST API which is disabled on your server (see attached).

The REST API is a crucial software that enables two applications to exchange data using a specific set of constraints. In particular, the WordPress REST API enables you to connect your WordPress website with external applications (like our services).

Please check this information at https://wpml.org/documentation/support/rest-api-dependencies/.

If you verify that the REST API is indeed disabled, it should be activated back at the server level - unfortunately, it cannot be done through the WordPress dashboard. So you'll need to get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them to enable it for you.

Sometimes the message on WPML -> Support saying that the REST API is disabled is just a false positive. Please follow the tutorial described on this link and check if it is really inactive on your website: hidden link.

You may also need to whitelist the following domains:
- wpml.org
- cdn.wpml.org
- api.wpml.org
- api.toolset.com
- cloudfront.net

See https://wpml.org/faq/wpml-plugin-cannot-connect-to-wpml-org/ for details.

Thank you for the updates. I am working on it and 'll try my best to reproduce the problem, to find a solution or to escalate the 2nd tier for detailed investigation afterwards.

It 'll take some time but I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Thank you for your patience. I received a workaround today from the team which I tried on the CW staging site. This seems to work partially like if you first time open the home page, switch to another language, click edit translation then it returns successfully from ATE (after completing the translation).

However, if you switch to another language right away it doesn't return to correct page.

Secondly this is a temporary workaround while the case has been further escalated to the dev team.

You can experience it on the CW staging site and see if this is workable for you (for now). So I can provide/apply the workaround on your site (if you agree).

Meanwhile I've asked for more information.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you for the updates. I understand that it was not a completely workable solution.

I discussed with the team and found that this issue has already been reported and is with our dev team.

They suggest the following solution for the time being, you may try this on your own staging site first:

- Edit the file wp-content\plugins\sitepress-multilingual-cms\classes\filters\class-wpml-tm-translation-status-display.php line 431
- replace:

				if ( ! isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ) {
					return null;
				}

				$url = remove_query_arg( $args, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] );

- with:

$url = remove_query_arg( $args, admin_url('admin.php?page='. WPML_TM_FOLDER . '/menu/translations-queue.php') );

This will send the user to translation queue after completing the translation. I know this could be a little cumbersome but at-least this 'll help completing the translation and returning to a more logical place (instead of a wrong page and giving impression of being something wrong).

Alternatively, until this issue is fixed, you may try editing translations from either:
- pages/posts listing screen and click pencil/gear icon in language column
- or open page/post for editing in default language and click pencil/gear icon to edit/update the translation (from the Languages sidebar section)

Please let me know.
