Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- Please follow these steps to get more information about the cause of the issue:
- Activate the WordPress debug mode by following this guide: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/
- Activate the WPML plugins
- Visit Translation Management and String Translation (if they appear under the WPML menu). If not, then visit any other WPML page
- Share the latest fatal error that appears in the debug.log file located within the wp-content folder

2.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

Regards,
Carlos

My technical expert has tried the above and none of them work. The problem still occurs.

Thank you for sharing the credentials requested.

Please follow these steps:
- Create a full site backup
- Go to Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab (hidden link) -> Update all WPML plugins to the latest version

Can you confirm that WPML -> Translation Management appears correctly now?

Can you help me directly operate it? My site is a test site, if it breaks it won’t have much impact.

Thank you for your authorization.

The cause of this behavior was the 'Disable All WordPress Updates' plugin. I have updated the WPML plugins and the WordPress core (to meet the minimum requirements). I recommend updating all the outdated plugins and themes in this URL: hidden link

Can you confirm that the issue was solved?

May I ask what is the lowest version of wpml that the wpml team is willing to support without changing the wp version. Because we have many websites, even if we upgrade this now, it may be difficult to upgrade WP for every website. So I would like to ask the WPML team which version is the lowest supported version?
