Problem: After updating Elementor Pro, both website languages were down. Disabling the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin allowed the base language (NL) to work, but the alternate language (EN) remained non-functional. Even after updating WPML to version 4.6.15, the plugin could not be activated due to a PHP Fatal error related to Elementor and WPML. Solution: To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have a full backup of your website. 2. Go to Plugins and deactivate all plugins. 3. Navigate to Plugins > Add New > Commercial, install and activate the WPML String Translation. If installation fails, download it manually from https://wpml.org and install it. 4. Reactivate the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin. 5. Reactivate all other previously active plugins.
This should resolve the issue as the missing WPML String Translation plugin was likely causing the problem.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
