This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing a critical issue with WordPress after enabling the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin, it might be due to an insufficient WP Memory Limit set on your server.
Solution:
We recommend increasing the WP Memory Limit to at least 128MB, ideally 256MB. You can do this by modifying the

wp-config.php

file in your WordPress installation. Insert the following code before the line that says '/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */':

/** Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');<br />define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

For more detailed information, please visit our documentation on minimum requirements at https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/.
If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
