Problem: The client cannot access the invoices section in WPML > Translation Management > Tools > invoices, as the page remains blank. Additionally, there are errors in ATE logs and concerns about loss of previous human translations and server connection issues.
Solution: 1. We suggest following the method explained in an existing ticket to access invoices: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/invoices-overview-empty-javascript-error/#post-14994701. 2. We recommend making a full backup of the website and updating all available plugins. 3. We found 'CURL error 28' errors in the ATE logs, indicating connection issues with our servers. It is necessary to contact hosting/server support to verify if connections are being blocked by a firewall or similar rules. 4. If the customer needs specific invoices, we can send them by email at the customer's request. 5. If clicking 'check now' on the WPML installer support page shows two green checks, then the connection is fine and the issue might have been resolved by the hosting.

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where clicking 'invoices' under WPML > Translation Management > Tools > invoices resulted in a blank page.
Solution: We requested temporary access to the client's site to investigate the issue. After reviewing the site, we asked the client to confirm if all three translation engines were showing up correctly in WPML > Settings > Automatic Translation, and also in WPML > Translation Management > Tools > Automatic Translation Engines. For the separate issue of the invoices page being blank, we created a new support ticket to handle it according to our Support Policy, which states that we should address one issue per ticket.
If you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend checking if all translation engines are visible in the specified WPML settings. If you encounter a blank page when accessing the invoices section, please note that this might be a separate issue that requires its own support ticket.

If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: The client is unable to download translation invoices as the interface disappears when they click on it. This issue does not occur on other sites, only on the real.org site. Solution: We recommend the following steps to identify and resolve the issue: 1. Create a full backup of your website. 2. Disable all plugins except for WPML and its add-ons. 3. Check if the issue still occurs. 4. If the issue is resolved, reactivate your plugins one by one, checking after each activation to see if the issue reappears. This will help identify the plugin causing the issue. 5. If the issue persists with non-WPML plugins disabled, switch to a default theme like TwentySeventeen and try to recreate the issue. It is best to perform these steps in a staging (testing) environment if possible.
In the meantime, we have sent an email to the client with all the invoices to provide immediate assistance.
