Problem: The client is unable to update plugins in WordPress after renewing their account. They encounter a message indicating that the account is expired and registration is required for automatic updates, with the registration link redirecting back to the website.

Edit the 'wp-config.php' file in your WordPress installation and insert the following line of code:
4. Visit the Plugins >> Add New Plugin > Commercial tab page again to see if the message disappears. Following these steps should allow you to update WPML automatically from the WordPress interface. For more details, you can refer to this documentation: Automatic WPML Registration Using PHP.
