This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
After pushing the website to production, the client is facing issues with WPML: the WPML edit button is not visible in the backend, and attempts to edit products redirect back to the homepage. Despite registering the site and installing all WPML plugins, it still indicates some plugins are not installed.
Solution:
We identified that a custom function in the theme, designed to remove all notices in the WordPress dashboard, was causing the issue. We recommend commenting out this function:

add_action('admin_head', function() {
        remove_all_actions('admin_notices');
        remove_all_actions('all_admin_notices');
    });

After doing so, navigate to WPML → Translation Management and follow the migration banner. This should resolve the issue and allow WPML to function normally.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
