ghledisC	Background of the issue: I am trying to get posts translated using WPML. The translation is done manually and saved, but the post doesn't get published. When I try to do it automatically, the job never finishes processing. Here is the link to the page where the issue can be seen: hidden link A recently gotten error report (not entirely sure if it is related): Used Bottling Lines Unsubscribe 12:14 PM (1 hour ago) to me

Translation jobs don't move from 'gear' status to 'pencil' status. Translated posts don't get published. No completed, loading forever. Questions: Why don't translation jobs move from 'gear' status to 'pencil' status? Why don't translated posts get published after manual translation? Why does the automatic translation job never finish processing?

ghledisC	Couple of days before the issue was noticed I have "cleaned up" the options table. A lot of options have been deleted or disabled. Although I haven't traced it back to the exact options, I did a site restore with minor losses, and translations work now again.
