2. Please make sure that you first create a full website backup so that you are safe no matter what happens.
3. The oldest version you are able to download from that link is "3.8.3". After that, I recommend that you update to each new major version (3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3).
You can also try to create a full website backup first and then update to the latest version and see what happens - it there's gonna be serious errors and not simple notifications, then please update gradually.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Tell us what you are trying to do?
Currently WPML version 3.2.2 is on this site. I have updated WP and other plugins and now I need to update WPML as well.
it says I need to upgrade in major steps, so I cannot just download the latest version and update. Which versions do I need to upgrade to first? And where can I get those versions?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
it is still on my local machine
First of all, thank you very much for your patience and sorry to have you waiting - there is a very full ticket queue at the moment and it takes us a bit more than usual to answer tickets.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
everything worked fine on my local machine. I had to create a key in my WPML account and did so for houseoflifeabydos.local.
Now I have put the site on the live location, houseoflifeabydos.com but I cannot activate WPML, it crashes the site. Both local and live site are on php 7.2.
By enabling the plugin I had not yet had the possibility to update the WPML key, it crashes the site upon activating.
I enabled debugging and receive the following:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method stdClass::is_enabled() in /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language-switcher/class-wpml-ls-settings.php:346 Stack trace: #0 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language-switcher/class-wpml-ls-inline-styles.php(274): WPML_LS_Settings->get_active_slots() #1 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language-switcher/class-wpml-ls-admin-ui.php(105): WPML_LS_Inline_Styles->admin_output() #2 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(288): WPML_LS_Admin_UI->admin_head_action('') #3 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(312): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #4 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-includes/plugin.php(478): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/w in /mnt/web020/e0/15/53905115/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language-switcher/class-wpml-ls-settings.php on line 346
can you please help?
I really do not know what to do now
2. Please disable all the non-WPML plugins and see if the issue is still happening.
3. If that still happens, please try this, too: delete the WPML plugin and then try to reinstall it after you download it from your WPML.org account.
Also, I don't know what process you followed for migrating the site from local to production, but our recommendation is to use a plugin like "Duplicator" (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
