Problem: The client was experiencing a persistent error on their multilingual website and was unable to find the 'Clear language information and repopulate languages' option in the WPML troubleshooting page as per the documentation. Solution: We first suggested using the 'Reset Languages' option on the troubleshooting page and emphasized the importance of backing up the database before making any changes. After confirming that all records in the language tables were present, we resolved the issue by executing the following SQL query to remove the error message from the database:
DELETE FROM `wp_options`
WHERE `option_name` LIKE '%icl_admin_messages%'
LIMIT 50;

Problem: The client reported an issue with the HTML sitemap on their website using WPML and Rank Math SEO. The sitemap displayed Ukrainian titles for pages but linked to the Czech versions, and it did not include other language versions correctly. Additionally, all pages for the Ukrainian language were marked with a noindex tag, making them invisible to search engines. Solution: We recommended the client to follow these steps: 1. Install the WPML SEO add-on from Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab. 2. Re-save the permalinks. 3. Apply the workaround described in the errata page: https://wpml.org/errata/rankmath-rank_math_html_sitemap-shortcode-lists-html-sitemap-in-all-languages/. 4. Check if the issue is resolved. If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend creating a staging site and testing by deactivating all plugins and reactivating them one by one to identify the culprit. Start with a default WordPress theme and only WPML plugins and RankMath SEO activated.
