translations waiting for review

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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue with the Translation Management dashboard showing "2 translations waiting for review" even though there are none when checked.

Solution:
First, we recommend backing up the database before making any changes. If the client is comfortable with database operations, we suggest running the following SQL query to resolve the issue:

UPDATE `wp_icl_translation_status` SET `review_status` = NULL WHERE `review_status` LIKE ''

If the client is not familiar with database operations, we can install the PHPmyadmin plugin to assist with the process. Alternatively, the client can manually check the

icl_translation_status

table for the

review_status

column and set it to "ACCEPTED" to clear the stuck queue. If these solutions do not resolve the issue, we are ready to provide further assistance and may involve our 2nd Tier Support.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket.

tannerT	Hi Kor, deactivating the plugin and reactiving the plugin would definitely not break translations. I noticed you activated the Child Theme and restored the original Them

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Yes, the site broke when I deactivated the plugins and when I checked the debug logs, it's saying that the theme is causing issues. So, I've switched themes to fix the site. Could you restore the site from the backup so that I can continue escalating this to our 2nd Tier Support for further assistance?

tannerT	We are not able to restore the complete site from a the backup due to much implementation today. This will NOT be a possibility Please take necessary steps to resolve the issue as intended vs. "restore from backup". You still have complete admin access. Thank you,

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear that you cannot restore from a backup. I will check and see if there is anything I can do from my end to fix the "broken language" and "Translation waiting for review" issues.

tannerT	Waiting for update, of course we need to get this resolved. We started with a pesky translation notice, and now have no languages. Please escalate to corresponding departments or higher tiers to get this resolved immediately. Like asking for a tire change and the company breaks your engine.

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	I appreciate your patience. I have some feedback, and I kindly request access to the server database to execute the following SQL query. However, before proceeding, please ensure that a full backup is performed. If you are unsure about the process, I would also like to request permission to install the PHPmyadmin plugin, which will allow me to run the following SQL query: UPDATE `wp_icl_translation_status` SET `review_status` = NULL WHERE `review_status` LIKE ''

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Could you try checking the icl_translation_status table for the review_status column? Then manually set it to "ACCEPTED" and clear it from the stuck queue. Let me know if this method works. If not, I will ask for another feedback from our 2nd Tier Support.
