Background of the issue:
I restored a backup of a development site, and suddenly WPML's Advanced Translation Editor stopped working. I tried restoring the backup again, cleared the cache and WPML's cache, and removed and re-added the WPML site key. It worked for a short while, but then I got an error: AMS Server Communication - API error missing resource: No sitekey found for this website.
Symptoms:
On some pages, the Advanced Translation Editor doesn't load at all, while on others it loads but never completes the translation. I am now getting this error: 2025/04/03 2:21:47 PM – ATE Server Communication – Service Unavailable {"url":"hidden link","requestArgs":{"method":"POST","body":{"ids":["134517927","134519549","135509935"]}},"status":503}.
Questions:
What should I do to resolve the ATE Server Communication error?
How can I ensure the Advanced Translation Editor works consistently?
