The installation screen isn't appearing. I've deleted and reinstalled all the plugins, but the setup page still won't open.

I’ve fixed the issue, and you can now continue working and setting up the WPML configuration. Some installation data in your database was corrupted, so I’ve removed it.

I just finished the setup and the site is completely broken. The header and footer are unusable. I backed it up yesterday and now I'm reinstalling it. I want to skip step 4, the AI ​​translation, and do it manually. How can you help me with this? This step is breaking the site's structure.
