Overview of the issue

When using All-in-One WP Migration with WPML, you might experience a WordPress database error after completing a site migration. As a result, the Advanced Translation Editor may fail to open and redirect you to the Translations Queue instead.

WordPress database error Unknown column 'uuid' in 'field list' for query INSERT INTO `wp_icl_translation_status` ...

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.


  1. Open your site database using phpMyAdmin or your preferred database management tool

  2. Locate the wp_icl_translation_status table (the wp_ prefix might be different on your site)

  3. Check whether the uuid column is missing and a column named CHAR(36) exists instead

  4. Rename the CHAR(36) column to uuid

  5. Save the change
