Hello,

Please take a complete backup of your site, including the database.

Now go to Plugins > Add new and click on the commercial tab.

Click "Check for Updates" and install the latest versions of our plugins.

Now, verify if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, go to WPML > Media Translation and edit one of the translations.

Usually, a dialog should show up and ask to sync the media.

If the dialog will not show up, please try re-uploading a file to the second language, editing its translation, and saving.

Then run the dialog to sync the media.

If this does not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

I would like to offer to take a closer look and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.

The required fields are located below the comments section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to back up your website and database before granting us access.
If you can't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your post and website credentials will be set to "PUBLIC." DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

I may need to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to create a copy of the website so I can investigate the issue further.

However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or a copy of the website from your server for this purpose.

If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Please note that WPML must also be registered on this staging site at https://wpml.org/account/websites/.

If you are unable to provide such a copy of the website for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

Best regards,
Andreas
