WPML rewriting htaccess and website goes down even with your script

Problem:
You are experiencing an issue where WPML incorrectly rewrites the htaccess file, causing your website to go offline. The incorrect entry in your htaccess file is

1	`RewriteBase /it/`

, which should be

1	`RewriteBase /`

.
Solution:
First, correct the htaccess entry from

1	`RewriteBase /it/`

1	`RewriteBase /`

. If you are not using a Child Theme, consider installing one, and add the workaround to the functions.php file.
Alternatively, create a custom plugin with the following code:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Custom Rewrite Rules
 * Description: A custom plugin to fix and force rewrite rules to be applied correctly.
 * Version: 1.0
 * Author: Your Name
 */
 
// Hook into 'init' to ensure this runs at the right time
add_action('init', 'apply_custom_rewrite_rules', 10);
 
function apply_custom_rewrite_rules() {
    // Apply custom mod_rewrite rules on 'mod_rewrite_rules' filter
    add_filter('mod_rewrite_rules', 'fix_rewritebase');
 
    // Flush rewrite rules on plugin activation
    if (is_plugin_active('custom-rewrite-rules/custom-rewrite-rules.php')) {
        flush_rewrite_rules();
    }
}
 
function fix_rewritebase($rules) {
    // Get home URL and WPML root URL (if applicable)
    $home_root = parse_url(home_url());
    if (isset($home_root['path'])) {
        $home_root = trailingslashit($home_root['path']);
    } else {
        $home_root = '/';
    }
 
    $wpml_root = parse_url(get_option('home'));
    if (isset($wpml_root['path'])) {
        $wpml_root = trailingslashit($wpml_root['path']);
    } else {
        $wpml_root = '/';
    }
 
    // Replace default home root with wpml root in rewrite rules
    $rules = str_replace("RewriteBase $home_root", "RewriteBase $wpml_root", $rules);
    $rules = str_replace("RewriteRule . $home_root", "RewriteRule . $wpml_root", $rules);
 
    return $rules;
}
 
// Force rewrite rules flush on plugin activation and deactivation
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'flush_rewrite_rules');
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'flush_rewrite_rules');

Save this file as custom-rewrite-rules.php and place it in /wp-content/plugins, then activate the plugin.
