Hi there,

After further troubleshooting, I found the warning is displayed intentionally and to fix/remove the notification you either need to:

- Go to WPML -> Settings page and scroll to the "Post Types Translation" section
- Set Field Groups (acf-field-group) to "Not Translatebale"

Or if you want to Translate Field Groups (acf-field-group) leave the settings as it is and translate all field groups as explained in the next link:

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/#translating-field-groups

Or if you want to absolutely hide the warning without translating field groups properly or making field groups untranslatable you can place the following code to your child's theme's functions.php file to hide the warning with custom CSS:

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_wpml_admin_notice'); function hide_wpml_admin_notice() { 
?> <style> .notice.notice-error.is-dismissible { display: none;} </style> 
<?php }

Regards,
Subash
