Hi there!

Please try to deactivate all the plugins and leave only the WPML ones and see if it works.

Hi there!

If the issue persists and we need to escalate it, could you please provide access to your staging site?

This way, I’ll be able to investigate the issue safely without affecting your live site.

I’ve marked my next reply as private, so you can share the credentials securely there.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

The problem was related to the plugin Hide Admin Notices, when you deactivate the plugin you can do the setup for WCML.

I have recorded a video for you: hidden link
