Problem:
If you are experiencing an issue updating WPML that results in your website crashing and displaying a blank page or a 500 error, this indicates an unhandled PHP error in your site's code.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, we recommend enabling debug mode to identify the specific error. Follow these steps:
1. Open your site's wp-config.php file.
2. Find the line
define('WP_DEBUG', false); and change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);3. To have the errors logged to a file on the server, add the following line:
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
With these changes, the errors will be saved in a debug.log file within the /wp-content/ directory.
After enabling debug mode, review the log file for specific errors.
