Problem: The client receives a warning that the default language must be mapped to a supported language for automatic translation. When attempting to map English to itself, a critical error occurs, but it is not blocking. Additionally, after changing the site's URL, WPML detects a change and requires confirmation. There is also a PHP fatal error related to an undefined method call. Solution: 1. Temporarily deactivate or delete the current version of the “WPML Multilingual CMS” plugin. 2. Download and install “WPML Multilingual CMS v4.7.0” from the changelog page: https://wpml.org/download/wpml-multilingual-cms/?section=changelog. 3. Navigate to “WPML >> Support” and select the “Yes” option for the message “WPML detected a new address for this site”. 4. Go to “WPML >> Languages > Edit languages” and re-save the settings. Please ensure to take a full site backup before attempting these steps.
