Hi,
I have an issue where the WPML Export and Import gets stuck at nr 14 : Cleaning Up Term Data.
I have left it running for hours but it is just stuck there.
There is nothing in the error logs.
I am using a staging site atm, for testing, so not sure if it is becouse of that, but it has worked before.
Any suggestions to a fix or what it could be?

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you on this issue.

It looks like there is some php error happening on your site which is creating the problem, being so can you please follow the below steps and share me the results.

1. Add the following code to your wp-config.php

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

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/

2. Repeat the action of creating the problem.

3. Copy and paste the contents of debug.log (log file inside the /wp-content/ directory) here for me to see. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/#how-to-send-debug-log-to-the-supporters

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hi,

When I go to the communication log, there is nowhere for me to paste the logfile content.
I tried to disable and enable logging but nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Hello there,

To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
