Problem: The client is unable to synchronize the menu using WPML, experiencing a continuous processing issue without completion. Despite not observing a 504 error in the WordPress debug log, a PHP notice related to early translation loading was identified. Solution: We recommend checking the server error logs for any 504 errors, as these might not appear in the WordPress debug log but are typically generated by the server. Additionally, consider increasing the server limits temporarily to accommodate the demands of menu synchronization. The settings to adjust include:
max_execution_time
memory_limit
max_input_vars
Furthermore, attempt the synchronization using only the WPML plugins and a default theme, such as Twenty Twenty-Four, to rule out any theme-related issues.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we suggest visiting related known issues and verifying that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
Problem: You want to display only the language code in the dropdown instead of the full language name. Solution: We recommend enabling language names in the switcher and then navigating to WPML -> Language -> Edit Language. Here, you can rename the language names to their respective codes, such as 'EN' instead of 'English'. This adjustment should resolve your issue. For more detailed instructions, please visit our documentation on editing WPML's languages table.

Problem: The client installed the WPML plugin and encountered issues where the Menu Items were not displaying in the Admin Menus area, although they were visible on the Front End. The client had previously experienced similar issues with posts and pages disappearing when WPML was enabled, which were resolved by the support team. The client sought a complete removal and reinstallation of WPML to address the recurring issues.

Creating a full backup of the website. 2. Following the steps outlined in our documentation to reset WPML, which can be found here: Deleting Languages and Plugin Data by Doing a WPML Reset. 3. After confirming the removal of all WPML data from the database, reinstalling WPML by downloading the latest version from here, and then uploading and activating it through the website's backend.

Problem: The client is working on a development site and inquires whether it is advisable to install the WPML plugin for translation purposes during the development phase or to wait until the site is complete. Solution: We recommend installing the WPML plugin on your development site as soon as you have content that needs translation. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Visit https://wpml.org/account/sites/ to create a new WPML development key. 2. Copy the key, then go to your development site, install WPML, and use the key. For migrating your site to the live environment, we suggest using the Duplicator plugin. You can find the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ Documentation for Duplicator is available at https://snapcreek.com/duplicator/docs/ Here is a tutorial on how to use Duplicator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YDQ3Ey_2wY After migrating, register WPML on your new site and enter the new key by logging into your WPML account, removing the old site, and adding the new site to receive a new key.
