ingarB	The process is not even running any queries towards the database (cannot see any action in the db log) and it's just spinning - but does not show any errors.

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. Before passing this thread to my colleague, I would like to share some suggestions and possible solutions for the issues you mentioned. This may be a compatibility conflict. Please try the following steps after a full site backup {mandatory} and make sure the bug exists. 1) Upgrade to the latest version of WPML (4.7.3). You may have to visit Plugins>>Add New>>Commercial tab and click on the Check for updates button to get the WPML automatic upgrade links of the latest version. This step will help us refresh the installer caches. 2) Increase WP Memory Limit to 256(the minimum required memory limit for WPML is 128). Please check the following links for more details https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#increasing-memory-allocated-to-php 3) Increase the MaxInputVars of PHP settings to 10000. Please check the following article for more details or contact your system admin/hosting provider for this purpose. hidden link 4) Clear all types of caches and resave the permalinks from Settings>>Permalinks -- Thanks! Bigul
