Problem: If you're experiencing a fatal error when activating WPML, specifically an error related to 'call_user_func_array()' and 'WPML_TM_ICL20_Migration_Notices::build_migration_required()', and this persists even after deactivating all plugins and changing the theme, we have a solution. Solution: 1. Ensure you are using the latest version of WPML. You can check and download the latest version from here. 2. Navigate to the file located at:
and go to line 169. 3. Change "private" to "public" on line 169 so it reads:
1
publicfunctionbuild_migration_required() {
4. Log in to your site, activate the WPML plugin, and complete the setup process. 5. Go to WPML → Translation Management → Translators and deactivate the old translation service. 6. Navigate to WPML → Support → Troubleshooting and perform the following actions:
Select "Reset professional translation state."
If there are no translations available, choose "Reset and deactivate WPML."
After completing these steps, you should be able to activate WPML and set it up without encountering any errors.
