This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are an administrator trying to manage WPML settings on your site but notice that some settings are missing, and you receive a permission error when attempting to translate WooCommerce products.
Solution:
We recommend you try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Add the following code to your active theme's
functions.php
file:
function wpmlsupp_1706_reset_wpml_capabilities() { if ( function_exists( 'icl_enable_capabilities' ) ) { icl_enable_capabilities(); } } add_action( 'shutdown', 'wpmlsupp_1706_reset_wpml_capabilities' );
2. Open a page in the back and/or front-end once.
3. Remove the code added in step #1.
If the issue persists, it might be helpful to check if this is the first time you have installed WPML on this site or if you already have translated data by WPML.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
