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

Problem:
The client is experiencing a critical error warning on the Arabic interface of their website, and the Arabic homepage is automatically redirecting with a 410 status, indicating that the resource is no longer available.
Solution:
We recommend checking if the Arabic resources are still available on the server. If they are, proceed to clear all caches on the site, including server-level caches if applicable. Follow these steps:
1. Take a full backup of the site, including the database.
2. Navigate to the root directory of your site using the File Manager in your hosting control panel.
3. Locate the '.htaccess' file and open it in an Editor.
4. Copy the contents to your computer for backup.
5. Replace the '.htaccess' rules with the default WordPress rules, which can be found here: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/htaccess/#basic-wp
6. Save the changes and try accessing the Arabic page again.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, we suggest 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 problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.

Hi There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand the issue you're having. The 410 response is directly coming from the server, indicating that the requested resource is no longer available. Could you please check and confirm that the Arabic resources are still available on your server?

If they are, please clear the caches on your site, and if server-level caching is enabled, make sure to clear those caches as well.

If the issue persists, please try the following steps to see if they help resolve the issue.

- Take a full backup of the site including the database
- Navigate to the root directory of your site using the File Manager in your hosting control panel.
- You'll find a file name '.htaccess'. Open the file in Editor.
- Copy the contents within it and save it on your Computer.
- Now, replace the htaccess rules with the default rule mentioned here: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/htaccess/#basic-wp
- Save the changes and try to access the Arabic page.

Please let me know how it goes. I will be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.

Best regards,
Prossenjit

I have neither the knowledge nor the equipment to do what you say. Unfortunately, I cannot access what you said with my iPad.

Hi There,

If you can access your site from the device, you should also be able to access your hosting provider from that same device. Simply log in to your hosting account, access the file system and continue following the steps. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the files, you can also install a plugin like "File Manager" to access the root files and continue the steps.

Please let me know if you need any clarification or assistance with any specific steps in this process. I'll be more than happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
