Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue with WPML on my site hidden link. WPML needs to connect to its server to check for new releases and security updates.

Symptoms:
A message appears when translating: WPML needs to connect to its server to check for new releases and security updates. Something in the network or security settings is preventing this.

Questions:
How can I allow outgoing communication to wpml.org to remove this notice?

Hi there!

I have converted into a ticket as I didn´t get answer on the chat.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

- Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.
