Shekhar Bhandari Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you on this issue. Can you go to WPML->Support->Ate Error logs and send me a screenshot of the page. Further, Have you tried disabling all non-WPML plugins, switching to one of the default themes, and checking whether the issue still persists or not? Please remember to create a backup of your site (both files and the database) before making any updates or changes. This is always a good practice. Look forward to your reply. Thanks
