chrigiF	Hi, Is it possible to remove the the warning message globaly? Warning: "trying to edit a translation that is currently in the process" We use WordPress editor for all translations and the message is very confusing for our clients. Thanks for your help Best Regards, Chrigi

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello Chrigi, you can not mix translation methods, that is why this message appears. If you want to use WordPress editor (manual method), you should cancel all on going jobs from WPML > Translation Management> Jobs, and then switch to use WordPress editor instead of WPML editor as explained in our docs, and the message will not appear again: - https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ Regards, Drazen

chrigiF	Hi Drazen I tried it but it shows me following error: This action does not apply to any of the selected translation jobs First step with WPML is to change it to the WordPress Editor, already did that a long time ago. 😅 Best Regards, Chrigi

chrigiF	Hi, There is no option to dismiss the message. 😅

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Hi, are you referring to the warning in my screenshot or is it the banner-like warning at the top of the page?

chrigiF	Hi, No it's above the page name when editing a page. And there is no option to hide it. Additionally, we can't remove the banner via CSS either because there is a standard error "div" all around it.

chrigiF	Thanks for the link. It's a bugfix from 2021 and the folder no longer exists. 😅

chrigiF	That worked! But we have a bit too many websites to always adjust this manually. Will the change make it into the next version this time? (Not as in 2021 😜)

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Glad to hear that worked! Our development team has an active ticket regarding this, and I also re-activated it bringing it back to the attention of our team with your recent case for consideration to add in future updates.
