Problem: The client reported that their website, which uses the ACF plugin, experiences freezing during the save process when WPML is active. The error message displayed is "Application did not respond in time." This issue does not occur when WPML is deactivated. Solution: We investigated the issue by testing without WPML, ACFML, and with a default theme. The problem persisted, indicating it is not solely related to WPML. We observed that the issue might be related to server resource limitations such as PHP memory limit or server response time. We recommend: 1. Checking the PHP error logs for detailed information on failures. 2. Consulting with hosting support to possibly increase server resources. 3. Considering an update to the PHP version. For issues related to slow performance or increased queries, we suggest consulting this carefully curated list of items. If the problem persists after improving server resources, and you suspect WPML might still be impacting performance, please let us know.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 the issue persists, we encourage you to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
