Do you mean the page does not load even without WPML? You are probably getting a fatal error.
First, you need to see what the errors are. Guessing what might be the problem and trying different solutions may lead to even more trouble. The first step is to enable debug. You can do this by adding a few lines to the site’s wp-config.php file. With error log enabled, you will see what the actual problem is.
To enable it, open your wp-config.php file and look for define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);. Change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
In order to enable the error logging to a file on the server you need to add yet one more similar line:
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
In this case, the errors will be saved to a debug.log log file inside the /wp-content/directory.
the problem persists. I'm still on localhost, therefore the only way that I have to show you the debug file is this screenshot.
When I activate the plug-in the home page keeps charging it itself and never stops
Could you please update your WPML plugin to the latest version 4.6.8 and add-ons to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements? This may not necessarily resolve your problem, however, in order to troubleshoot the issue best we need to work on the latest code available.
You can check the latest released versions under "My Account -> Downloads" on this site. Instructions to update can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/
