Problem: The client has a Lifetime account with WPML Multilingual CMS and finds the current setup too complex, with unnecessary features and files. They are looking for a way to simplify their WPML setup or downgrade to a Multilingual Blog without purchasing a new subscription. Solution: We explained that the Lifetime account type cannot be downgraded as it is no longer available for purchase and does not require yearly renewal. To simplify the WPML setup, we recommended deactivating all additional WPML plugins, keeping only the core plugin active. This approach simulates the Multilingual Blog setup. We also provided a link to our documentation for the standard translation workflow for the Multilingual Blog version: https://wpml.org/documentation/translate-website-with-wpml-blog/
If this solution does not fully address your issue or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket.
