antonioC-92	Background of the issue: I am trying to use WPML with Elementor on PHP 8.2. After switching the PHP version from 7.4 to 8.2 (and also 8.4), the homepage throws a fatal error related to WPML Page Builders integration. Symptoms: A fatal error occurs: 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Integrations/Elementor/Hooks/DisplayConditions.php on line 138'. The stack trace includes functions like convertConditionIds(), convertCondition(), processDisplayConditions(), convertDisplayConditions(), Elementor → get_content(), ElementorPro Theme Builder → print_content(), and header.php → homepage crash. Questions: Why does the homepage throw a fatal error when using WPML with Elementor on PHP 8.2? How can I resolve the fatal error related to WPML Page Builders integration?

antonioC-92	Hi Shekar, is there any news? I need to upgrade the system to PHP > 8.2 and it seems that this error in WPML is the only obstacle at the moment. I am staying tuned
