    Hi, Since last updates, I have a “../wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 404 (Not Found)” error in console when trying to save any product in my second shop language via the WPML translation editor (double-sided).

    I desactivated all plugins (except Woocommerce & WPML), change to default theme, etc.. but still have the same behavior.

    Doesn’t have this problem if I change to “woocommerce editor” (2nd bullet) in settings.

    Help me please..

  • Hello @knightwave!
    admin-ajax.php should not return error 404 – it is somewhat vital to WordPress.
    I suggest that you try in a minimal setup (minimal set of plugins and default theme)
    Especially if you have some security plugins that might be restricting access.

    Hi George, thanks for you answer.

    I did try (with just WooCommerce, WooCommerce Multilingual & WPML with basic store theme) = Same result.

    About admin-ajax, it’s working fine elsewhere on the site. It’s just when i try to save a product translation with the “woocommerce editor” that I get a 404 and nothing happens after that.. It’s weird.

    Well this is something that obviously should not happen.
    It is very strange that it does happen and I think it deserves a more in-depth look.
    It is possible if your server is configured like that – that you have some overload problems (low PHP memory, timelimit or something related) that this happen.
    I suggest that you first enable debug logging in WordPress – because there could be more to that error and then we can think when we have the data.
    Could you please open a ticket at our support forum at WPML.org?

    I disabled ModSecurity module in the cPanel for that domain and it seems to work again. I will talk with my provider to see what changed lately.

    Thanks again for your time.
