Problem: The client reported a critical error on their site, experiencing a PHP 8.3 infinite recursion issue leading to a 503 error. This was traced back to a potential bug in the WPML plugin with the newer WordPress version. Solution: 1. We asked the client to check if the issue persists after following the steps described on the erratum page for PHP 8.3.x errors, which can be found here: PHP 8.3.x Fatal Error. 2. We requested a detailed description of the issue, including steps to reproduce it and any error messages, to better understand the problem. 3. We asked for access credentials to the site to investigate the configuration and reproduce the issue. 4. We inquired if the client would prefer to continue troubleshooting the issue or remain on the older WordPress version (v6.8.9) that did not exhibit the problem.
