All the categories are synchronized but I still see the notice, see attached.

"Some taxonomy terms are out of sync between languages. This means that content in some languages will not have the correct tags or categories."

Hi there,

Thanks for your contact!

Let's try some possible solutions for this issue. Please follow these steps:

- Just to be safe, make sure to have a website backup before proceeding
- Go to WPML -> Support in your admin dashboard
- Click the “troubleshooting” link bellow the plugin versions list
- Look for the “Clean up” section and hit these buttons:

# Clear the cache in WPML
# Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
# Fix element_type collation
# Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
# Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
# Set language information
# Fix post type assignment for translations

At the end of this page you'll also find a "Remove all messages and notifications" button, please make sure to click on it as well.

Another possibility you can try is to:

- get access to your database
- find the '_options' table (by default wp_options, where 'wp' is the prefix of your database)
- search or the 'wpml_notices' key and delete it

And a last option would be to remove the WPML plugins and reinstall them.

Please give those options a try and let us know about your results. Thanks!

Kind regards,
Mateus.

Hi, it was on a new server with migrated files. So probably something was not migrated correctly. However, we had to go back to our server and will migrate to another so if this happens again, I'll try it.
