After Plugin update, there is an issue

janT-26	Background of the issue: I updated WPML String translation to version 3.2.16 on my site hidden link. After the update, I encountered issues and had to switch the plugin off. Now, when I make changes to the original page, such as changing a picture, the changes do not reflect on other pages, and I might need to translate everything again. Symptoms: basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/doc/www.jachyl10n.phpff.cz/www/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/locale/sitepress-cs_CZ.l10n.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/doc/www.jachymoff.cz:/disk2/doc/www.jachymoff.cz:/usr/share/php:/www/tmp:/tmp) in /www/doc/www.jachymoff.cz/www/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/MO/Hooks/LoadTextDomain.php on line 173. Header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/doc/www.jachymoff.cz/www/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/MO/Hooks/LoadTextDomain.php:173) in /www/doc/www.jachymoff.cz/www/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 1438. Questions: How do I recognize the original page which all the other translations are derived from?

Lucas Vidal de Andrade Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly. The String Translation plugin is mandatory, so WPML works with Elementor. In your case, we need to first solve the issue with WPML's String Translation plugin. Please visit the link below, click on "Download WPML manually", download the latest version of String Translation and upload it to your website. Let us know if with the plugin active, the changes behave as expected, after updating the original page and the translations. If that does not help, one of my colleagues will soon come to continue support.

janT-26	HI Lucas, you wrote visit the link below. But you did not provide any link. I have updated the WPML plugin via WordPress to version 3.2.17 and the issue is still the same. When I activate the WPML String Translation plugin I get following: basedir restriction in effect.

janT-26	The workaround somehow works. However, because it was messed I cannot "Complete Translation". I dont know if it is due to this issue. Thus, when I change in Elementor original page (ie a picture) I cannot see it in translated pages as I cannot complete the translation even I did not touch any text.
