letiziaD	I am trying to: install WPML CMS plugin on a website under development, error 500 Link to a page where the issue can be seen: the website exists locally only while I am building it. I use Local WP Development tool to work on it Instead, I got: "500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log" I installed only a couple of other WPML add-ons and they all have been installed successfully How can I fix it? Let me know, thanks Letizia

letiziaD	thanks to the support team the solution was found by: unzipping the folder of the WPML CMS plugin then copying it into wp-content/plugins
