desireeM	WPML 4.6.10 class OTGS_Products_Config_Xml in private function load_configuration( $xml_file ) { : file_exists(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($filename) of type string is deprecated Because potentially you pass null to it from new OTGS_Products_Config_Xml( $this->get_xml_config_file() ); which can be null if neither file exists --- Then additionally in that case, because you assign null, you'll get tons of errors from various places, e.g. same file foreach ( $this->repositories_config as $repository_config ) {

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	Were you able to run the Troubleshooting actions? I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue. (preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible) Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it. NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin. Thank you, Bobby

desireeM	Can you please describe the steps you tried to reproduce the issue on your end? Because it seems you a) didn't look at the code and b) didn't reproduce it as outlayed in the OP >which can be null if neither file exists Did you delete the file (repositories.xml) and then still weren't able to reproduce the issue?

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	"Did you delete the file (repositories.xml) and then still weren't able to reproduce the issue?" Yes, deleting this file from /sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/otgs/repositories.xml or renaming it will trigger this notice. Deprecated: file_exists(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($filename) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/sites/pretty-trumpet/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/otgs/installer/includes/products/OTGS_Products_Config_Xml.php on line 23 Just to verify, are you able to trigger this PHP notice with different steps as well? If yes, please share them with me clearly so I can communicate with our team.

desireeM	Yes, if for whatever reason the file isn't accessible to the current PHP user, e.g. due to wrong permissions,... Anyway, it doesn't matter, just check for !== null before you call file_exists and the bug is fixed. Takes 1 minute

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	Hi there, I have discussed this with our team and the conclusion is that without this file WPML will not function properly thus the warnings, therefore it would not be ideal to handle these warnings, rather we should investigate what is causing the file to either not exist/deleted or not to be readable on your environment. Is this something that you can reproduce without manually adjusting the code?
