sauliusD	Background of the issue: I was trying to update WPML and noticed that the combination of plugins WPML CMS, String, ACF, and Divi Machine crashes my website. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: After the update, my website is not working and shows a critical error. Questions: What could be causing the website to crash after updating WPML? How can I resolve the critical error caused by the plugin combination?

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. I checked the link you provided, but did not encounter any critical error on the page. As a first step, please enable debugging by adding the following lines to your site’s wp-config.php file. This will allow us to identify the exact issue: define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false); Please make sure that Divi Machine, ACF, and your current theme are also updated. Once enabled, any errors will be logged to a debug.log file located in the /wp-content/ directory. Please share the relevant error messages, so I can assist you further.
