    Hello,

    After migrating with the WP all in one migration tool (unlimited), the WPML advanced translation editor is not loading anymore. We get a warning notification instead:

    “Warning: You are about to edit your translation using the standard WordPress editor but your site is configured to use the WPML Translation Editor. Any edits you do here will be lost if you later open it in the WPML Translation Editor.”

    Anyone had this before?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reporting this. The WPML Advanced Translation Editor relies on its own internal configuration and service connections that are separate from your site’s content. After a migration, WPML sometimes needs to be re-initialized to restore these connections.

    Here are the steps we’d recommend:

    1. Go to WPML > Settings and re-register your WPML site key (even if it shows as active)
    2. Navigate to WPML > Translation Management > Translation Editor and confirm the Advanced Translation Editor is selected
    3. Clear any object caches or transients (using WP-CLI: wp transient delete –all, or via a caching plugin)
    4. If the issue persists, deactivate and reactivate WPML and its add-ons, then re-enter your site key

    This is a known WPML behavior when the site URL or domain changes during migration – WPML’s translation service needs to re-authenticate with the new domain.

    That said, since this is a WPML configuration issue rather than a migration issue, the WPML support team would be best positioned to help if the steps above don’t resolve it. You can reach them at https://wpml.org/forums/

    If you have any questions about the migration itself, we’re happy to help here.
