I've purchased WPML about a month ago and have been corresponding with Mohamed Sayed regarding my issue, however the issue was never resolved .. Below is a summary of the issue:

When trying to configure WPML for the first time I cannot choose the default nor the translation languages from the drop-down menus in the firs step of the setup .. Please see attached screenshots ..
I already tried going to the Troubleshooting page and clicking on "Clear language information and repopulate languages" as suggested in the error message I am seeing, however, that did not resolve the issue .. I followed Mohamed Sayed's suggestions but the issue still persists .. This has caused significant delay for my project and I am really frustrated with the product .. Please advise on how I can resolve the issue ASAP!

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

I was able to configure/setup WPML successfully, thank you very much .. Would you mind explaining real quick what exactly was the issue?

By the way, for some reason I am still seeing the error message "WPML is missing some records in the languages tables and it cannot fully work until this issue is fixed.
Please go to the Troubleshooting page and click on "Clear language information and repopulate languages" to fix this problem.

This warning will disappear once this issue is fixed."
Any ideas as to why?

Hi,

1) When I checked your site, I found two tables in the database missing, so I imported them, which fixed the setup issue.

2) I checked the troubleshooting; this message might be a false positive alarm. You can delete it from the database if it bothers you.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

How can I delete the message from the database?
On a different but related note, for some reason my store products are not appearing on the shop page .. I can’t even see them when I make changes on the product page and attempt to view it .. Is it possible that WPML or the WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency might be the reason?

Hi,

1) You can delete the "wpml_notices" record from the "wp_options" table.

2) We try to keep one issue per ticket in our forum. Continuing with one ticket per issue helps supporters focus on one issue at once and enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.
Therefore, I've split the other ticket and created a new ticket with this issue. (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/for-some-reason-my-store-products-are-not-appearing-on-the-shop-page/)
