Hi

On my blog hidden link my default language is English, and then I use WPML to translate the posts automatically to 6 other languages.
I have noticed that somehow new posts are created by themselves which contain only some numbers, and these new posts are only created in the other 6 languages(not in the default language) which makes me think that this can be some sort of bug in the wpml plugin, or something is misconfigured, I don't know what it is and would like to ask you for help with this please.

Thank you

Hi there,

I have never heard of such a thing in WPML, but it needs to be tested. I suggest that you follow the steps below:

1. Update WPML and WPML addons (you use the older version)

- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website.
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Commercial (tab)".
- Click the "Check for Updates" button.
- Update WPML and its addons there.

For more information:

2. Test with a minimal installation.

- IMPORTANT STEP! Test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.
- Switch to the default theme such as "TwentyTwenty" by going to "WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > themes".
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except WPML and its add-ons.
- Check if you can still recreate the issue.
- If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem.

Thanks.
