Problem: After installing WPML, all content including posts, pages, and categories disappeared.
Solution: 1. Check if switching the language from the top admin bar makes the posts appear. 2. If the issue persists, follow the instructions on the WPML errata page: Missing _icl_strings _icl_string_translations data tables. 3. After restoring the content, to remove the option
wpml_string_table_ok_for_mo_import
from the options table, access your database directly through your hosting provider.
Problem: The client is receiving a message indicating a problem with the String Translation table that could become critical in the future. Solution: First, we recommend making a full backup of your site. Next, follow the workaround provided in the WPML errata page. Then, remove the option
"wpml_string_table_ok_for_mo_import"
from the options table in your database (typically named wp_options, where "wp_" is your database prefix). After completing these steps, verify that your database contains all the following tables with the correct prefix ("wp_" by default):
icl_strings
icl_string_translations
icl_string_packages
icl_string_pages
icl_string_positions
icl_string_status
If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, or if this solution does not seem relevant to your problem, please open a new support ticket with us.
