mariosP-5	Background of the issue: I am trying to install the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin on my WordPress site hidden link. I am using the latest version of WPML and have registered the domain with WPML. Symptoms: As soon as the plugin is activated, it throws the following PHP warning: PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array\|object, null given in /wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/automatic-translation/AutomaticTranslationJobCreationFailureNotice.php on line 81. Questions: How can I resolve the PHP warning encountered during the installation of WPML? Is this a known issue with WPML, and has it been fixed in a newer version?

I tested in my local copy and it worked. Please make sure to have a full website backup, and follow the steps below: 1. Go to your DB management client (like PhpMyAdmin); 2. Open the wp_options table (the prefix wp_ might differ); 3. Find the "auto-translation-job-creation-error" option; 4. Delete it; Now, you should be able to properly activate WPML with no issues. Please, remember to create a full website backup before proceeding. Let me know if that fixes the issue.

mariosP-5	This solution is not working for me. I found "auto-translation-job-creation-error" in the wp_options table and I delete it and try to install WPML plugin but still getting the same error. Please give me the working solution. Thanks
