1. The Advanced Translation Editor of WPML is not working (can't connect). I've tried various online solutions, but none have resolved the issue.

2. I encounter an error message when attempting to add my second domain for Spanish translation (cbdmivida.com). Both domains are hosted and pointed to the same hosting.

3. The language switcher in the menu is not displaying on the selected menu as expected.

Hi Davy,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

We can handle one issue per ticket only so I will split this ticket into new ones for the second and third issues.

In this ticket, I will focus on the first issue "The Advanced Translation Editor of WPML is not working".

I suggest you go to Plugins > Add new > Commercial tab > Un-register and re-register your site with a new sitekey.
Then go to WPML > Settings > Translation Editor > Editor for new translations: Classic Translation Editor > Save and reload the page > Switch back to Advanced Translation Editor.

Hi,

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

It could be a temporary issue. Now I see the Advanced Translation Editor is activated as well. Please check screenshots attached.
