Problem: The client is experiencing a critical error when activating WPML, which states that the WordPress REST API must be enabled for WPML to function correctly. The REST API stops working upon WPML activation, and the site becomes slow. The issue was narrowed down to three custom code snippets affecting the REST API functionality. Solution: We recommend consulting with your developer to address the issues caused by the custom snippets that interfere with the REST API when WPML is activated. If your developer needs further guidance or has specific questions, we are here to assist, although we do not provide support for debugging or writing custom code.

Problem: After switching from Elementor to Gutenberg, all old Elementor strings still appear in the WPML translation editor, causing an increase in translation page length and unnecessary use of translation credits. Solution: 1. Disable Elementor and Elementor Pro, then edit the original content in Gutenberg and save the page again. This should remove the old strings from the translation editor. 2. Clear your site's cache. 3. Check WPML > Packages for any remaining Elementor string packages and delete them. 4. Note that WPML's Advanced Translation Editor has a translation memory feature, which prevents charging for the same translation segments twice.

If issues persist, consider providing temporary admin access for further investigation.
