Problem: You are experiencing low site loading speeds due to the wp-wpml_current_language cookie, which is set only after the first response. This issue prevents the cache plugin from caching the first request. Additionally, the use of multi-currency based on IP also hinders caching. Solution: It is normal for WPML with the multi-currency feature to not serve the first visit from cache. WPML needs the initial request to detect the visitor's correct currency using GeoIP or rules. After the currency is set, all subsequent pages can be fully cached. This behavior ensures that clients can switch currencies, as they would otherwise be served the same cached version with the outdated currency settings.

Problem: You are encountering a database error on your WordPress site using the WPML plugin, specifically a subquery returning more than one row. This error is linked to a specific SQL query involving multiple conditions and joins. Solution: First, ensure you have a backup of your site. Product entry in DB was corrupted. You should fix it by adjusting language informations in the DB.v For example, following SQL command to correct the source language code of mentioned Product ID in your database:
UPDATE wp_icl_translations<br />SET source_language_code = 'en'<br />WHERE trid = 18002<br /> AND language_code <> 'en'<br /> AND source_language_code IS NULL;

Problem: The client was unable to edit a WooCommerce product in the default language (English) because it was mistakenly identified as a translation of another product. This resulted in locked fields and a non-editable status indicated by a lock icon.
Solution: 1. Check Language Assignments - Navigate to WPML → WooCommerce Multilingual or WPML → Translation Management. - Locate the product and review its language assignments to ensure English is set as the default.
2. Find the Original Product - In the product’s edit screen, check the “Language” box. If it shows as a translation, there should be a reference to the original product. Follow that link to access the original.
3. Restore the Default Language Assignment (if needed) - If necessary, disconnect the English version from being a translation and set it as the main product. - In the “Language” section, select “Change Translation Of” or “Make this the original” and save the changes.
4. Edit Product Details - Once the product is recognized as the original, all fields should become editable. Make the desired changes and save.

Problem: The client was migrating their website from one server to another and encountered issues where WPML incorrectly detected the site's URL and displayed errors regarding the default language needing to be mapped to a supported language. Solution: 1. Verify the site URL in WPML settings and ensure it matches the current site URL after migration. 2. Check the default language settings in WPML to confirm it is mapped correctly to a supported language. If issues persist, manual intervention might be required to investigate potential configuration or database issues.
