Background of the issue:
I updated to the latest version of WPML and started receiving a message about taxonomy terms being out of sync between languages. The message suggests clicking the 'Update Taxonomy Hierarchy' button to sync taxonomies. I noticed that the taxonomy is no longer present in the URL link.
Symptoms:
The message 'Some taxonomy terms are out of sync between languages' appears, and after clicking 'Update Taxonomy Hierarchy', the message 'The taxonomy hierarchy is now synchronized' appears, but the error persists on the panel.
Questions:
What do I need to do to resolve the persistent error message about taxonomy terms being out of sync?
Is there any documentation that can help with resolving this issue?
This ticket has been inactive for quite a while. I didn't get a reply from you. So, I've transformed this chat into a support ticket because you may still need our help.
Do you mean that although the taxonomies were synced, the message does not go away?
