This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing a critical error (white page) when editing a post with WPML activated, and WPML indicates that the REST API is not activated even though it is working, the issue might be related to the ACF Multilingual plugin.
Solution:
We recommend reinstalling the ACF Multilingual plugin with a fresh copy. You can download it from here.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if the problem persists. You can do so at WPML support forum.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

haraldS-3	Background of the issue: I am trying to clone a dev page to a Plesk environment. I copied files and the database to a new server and used 'search & replace' to change the domain in the database. The site I need help with is hidden link. The page uses a password, and I can provide it via a private message. Symptoms: When editing a post, a critical error (white page) occurs when WPML is activated. WPML also shows that the REST API is not activated, but the REST API is working. Questions: Why does a critical error occur when editing a post with WPML activated? Why does WPML indicate that the REST API is not activated when it is working?

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	While one of my teammates addresses your ticket, I will provide you with some initial debugging steps. I recommend downloading fresh copies of the WPML plugins https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ and installing them to see if it helps. If the issue persists, consider moving your website again to the staging site, using plugins like "Duplicator" or "All-in-One Migration." It could be that not all files have been moved or something is corrupted in the database.

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi Harald, According to the error log, you should reinstall the ACF Multilingual plugin with a fresh copy. Please download it here https://wpml.org/download/acfml/?section=changelog If it does not help, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site so I can take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info. ❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌ You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks
