sebastianO-8	Background of the issue: I'm trying to change a flag for the main language on my site hidden link. I have tried different file formats like svg, png, and jpg. I also tried changing the language code and saving, but nothing happens. I tried following the documentation at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/custom-language-flags/ but its a 404. Symptoms: When I click save after changing the flag or language code, nothing happens. The changes do not take effect. Questions: Why are my changes to the main language flag not saving? Why does changing the language code not take effect?...

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hi, Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I checked with my team and they were able to fix the issue in the staging site, by following these steps: - Go to WPML -> Settings -> Translation Editor - Select the Advanced Translation Editor for new translations. - Save and then edit the languages. Somehow, the translation editor selection was missing in the above mentioned settings of WPML. After selecting one and saving, I was able to edit the languages and change the flag of default language. Please try in the staging first and then try in your live site. Regards.
