Background of the issue:
I am trying to upgrade to PHP 8.3 because a pentest recommended upgrading to the latest version of PHP. When I upgraded to PHP 8.3 in the test environment, I encountered an error with Yoast Whip. I had to delete it from the vendor and check that it is greater than PHP 5 to temporarily solve the problem. The site I need help with is hidden link.
Symptoms:

Questions:

Reference to our recent chat, please let me know your findings after trying the followings:
IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand.
It is highly advised to try this on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised.
- Deactivate WPML plugins.
- Delete WPML plugins.
- Download from https://wpml.org/account/downloads/, individual plugins (do not use OTGS installer).
- And upload via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload.
- And activate one by one and check if it happens again?
I need to take a closer look at your site. So I request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP), preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.
Your next answer will be private, to share this information safely.
Also provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue and links to pages in the admin and on the frontend.
IMPORTANT: Please take a complete backup of the site to avoid data loss. I may need to activate/deactivate plugins also.
