Problem: If you're experiencing a timeout error when updating product categories with translations on your website, and this issue only occurs when the sitepress-multilingual-cms plugin is active, it might be due to a plugin conflict.
Solution: We recommend following these steps to identify and resolve the issue: 1) Ensure you take a full backup of your site and database. It's advisable to perform these tests on a development or staging site. 2) Enable debugging on your site to log errors. Details on how to do this can be found at https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/. 3) Deactivate all plugins except for WPML, String Translation, WooCommerce, and WCML. 4) Switch to a standard theme like 2024 or 2021. 5) Check if the issue persists. If not, reactivate plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin. 6) If the issue does not reoccur after all plugins are activated, switch back to your original theme to check for theme conflicts.

Problem: You are encountering an error in your logs indicating that the cache keys 'product_cat' and 'product_tag' are incompatible with prefetching, and the group 'WPML_Slug_Translation_Records::taxonomy' should be added to the list of non-prefetchable groups. You are concerned about the importance of this error and how to resolve it. Solution: We have consulted with our second-tier team and discovered that the WPML plugin defines cache groups for various text domains, which might be causing the notices from Object Cache Pro. The current constant used might not support wildcards, unlike the 'WP_REDIS_CONFIG' which does. We recommend defining this in your wp-config.php file:
This configuration should address all variations of the cache group names. However, these warnings might be informational and may not require action if your system operates normally. We suggest verifying this with Object Cache Pro support. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to updates or differences in your setup, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and ensure you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. If further assistance is needed, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket with us.
Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating link targets and syncing menu items using WPML. Specifically, they encounter an error message 'Error! Reload the page and try again' when translating link targets and a 504 timeout error when syncing menu items, despite increasing the timeout limit. Solution: We identified that the issues occur when using WPML with the Breeze caching plugin and WooCommerce. Disabling the Cache System option in Breeze resolves the issue with translating link targets. For syncing menu items, if continuing with Breeze, we recommend adding the following code to the functions.php file of your Child Theme to handle currency switching for non-logged-in users:
Additionally, we suggest consulting the Breeze support to explore options for excluding specific scripts from caching. If Breeze support cannot provide a solution, please contact us for further assistance. Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
