Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where the loading wheel keeps spinning indefinitely when trying to delete a language translation in WPML, it often indicates a problem with the website's backend processes.
Solution:
1. Increase Execution Time: The script might be timing out. Increase the PHP maximum execution time in your website's settings. This can often be done in the .htaccess file, php.ini file, or directly in WordPress if your hosting allows it.
2. Check for JavaScript Errors: Use your browser's developer tools (usually accessible by pressing F12) to check the console for JavaScript errors. If there are errors, they might point to the cause of the issue.
3. Inspect Network Activity: In the same developer tools, you can also monitor network activity to see if a specific request is failing. Look for any requests that do not complete or return an error.
4. Disable Caching Plugins: If you're using any caching plugins on your WordPress site, temporarily disable them as they can sometimes interfere with backend operations.
5. Server Resources: If your hosting server is under-resourced or experiencing high usage, it might not be able to complete the process. Check your hosting environment to ensure it has enough resources.
6. Deactivate non-WPML plugins for now: Please create a full website backup, then disable all the non-WPML plugins (leave just the WPML plugins active) and see if the issue is still happening.
