francescoF-25	I am trying to: Translate stuff (seems legit) Link to a page where the issue can be seen: WPML translation editor I expected to see: The original content and working TinyMCE editors Instead, I got: Nothing WPML seems to need the jQuery Migrate Helper plugin in order to work in WP 5.8 I see that the issue is marked as resolved here: https://wpml.org/errata/visual-tab-in-classic-translation-editor-is-not-showing-contents-after-update-to-wordpress-5-6/ But in fact it's not. Plus, the jQuery Migrate Helper plugin forces additional javascript on the frontend which is really not ideal. The other proposed workaround (switch to "Text" tab, then back to "Visual" tab) seems not to work. This issue is known from more that half a year. Please fix it.

francescoF-25	Sorry for the update, I just wanted to let you know that the jQuery Migrate Helper plugin workaround it's not working either... sometimes I get the text, sometimes not. It seems to be a script order sequence issue. It surely is a huge issue for my clients which are not developers and cannot write HTML.

francescoF-25	Thanks George for confirming the case. As a temporary workaround, I managed to find this "procedure" that works: 1. once in the translation editor, set all editor's to the Text tab 2. do something (like translate the page title), click save 3. refresh the page (via browser), all editors should now have the Text tab as active tab 4. now, if you switch any editor to Visual, tinyMCE will load As said, switching between Text / Visual is the editor's have the Visual tab active first, doesn't work. Additionally, I have to say that the jQuery Migrate Helper plugin generates tons of unwanted/useless Ajax requests (like, hundreds of requests) on some pages, which cause the server to respond with 508 Resource Limit Reached error. So that's not a viable plugin to use.
