Background of the issue:
I am trying to update a plugin on my WordPress site. When I update a plugin, I see no messages appearing during the plugin update. This issue occurs only when WPML is enabled. I tested it by only activating WPML and WooCommerce. The issue can be seen at hidden link.
Symptoms:
I see no messages during a plugin update, only a blank area. After the update is finished, I see the messages.
Questions:
Why do I see no update status messages during a plugin update when WPML is enabled?
How can I ensure that update status messages appear during the plugin update process?
Could you please upload a few screenshots showing the issue?
I tested it by only activating WPML and WooCommerce.
Is the same problem in that case?
I suggest also activating debug.log and checking the log during the plugin update. You can add a few lines to the site’s wp-config.php file. With the error log enabled, you will see the actual problem.
To enable it, open your wp-config.php file and look for define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);. Change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
Add
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
To enable the error logging to a file on the server, you need to add yet one more similar line:
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
The errors will be saved to a debug.log log file inside the /wp-content/directory.
