[Resolved] When i active the wmpl plugin on my staging website i am getting error

Hi there.

Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, can you please enable the WordPress debug log?

This will allow us to see if any PHP errors are being produced.

More Info: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

In order to do that, edit the wp-config.php file inside your WordPress directory and insert the following lines:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

Now please reproduce the issue once again.

Locate the debug log in: /wp-content/debug.log

Paste the content (if any) on a site like pastebin.com and then share the link here with us (only you and us will see the URL you are sharing).

We will be waiting for your response.

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei

Hi,

Now please reproduce the issue once again.

Locate the debug log in: /wp-content/debug.log

Paste the content (if any) on a site like pastebin.com and then share the link here with us (only you and us will see the URL you are sharing).

Those lines are not solving your problem. As described, they activate the WP debug log to see what is causing the issue. Please post us the log entries you see, so we can see what error exactly is happening and tell you the next steps to solve it. 🙂

Hi,

you site is missing important WPML database tables. Did you install WPML completely new, or did you have it already installed in the past?

Depending on whether you have translated content, the solution will look different. Please let me know.

Thanks for the info. Your installation is missing these two tables:

- wp_icl_translations
- wp_icl_languages

If you already have translations, you can use the following workaround and continue to work with WPML.

#1 Make a full backup of your site (files and database).
#2 Add this code to the bottom of the functions.php file in your theme’s root folder.

function wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables() {
 
    if( function_exists( 'icl_sitepress_activate' ) )
 
        icl_sitepress_activate();
 
}
 
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables' );

#3 Visit your site’s homepage at least one time.
#4 Remove the code.

Does this work for you? If not, you can also add them manually, as described here in our table schema: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-tables/.

Best Regards
Marcel
