Avada – Language Switcher Text Shows Multiple Times in Posts and Pages

Overview of the Issue

The text and links to available translations display more than once when using the following settings:

• The Links to translation of posts option is enabled in WPML → Languages.
• You use the Avada theme builder feature with Global Layouts

Workaround

Our development team is aware of this problem and is working hard to fix the issue permanently.

As a temporary workaround, you can deactivate the Links to translation of posts option in the WPML → Languages to hide the text and links altogether.

Alternatively, you can:

1. Create a backup of your site or test this workaround on a staging site.
2. Add the following code at the end of your active theme’s functions.php file and save the changes:

add_filter('the_content', function ($content){
    if (is_single()) {
        if ($content == get_the_content()) {
            remove_filter('wpml_ls_post_alternative_languages', '__return_false');
        } else {
            add_filter('wpml_ls_post_alternative_languages', '__return_false');
        }
    } else {
        add_filter('wpml_ls_post_alternative_languages', '__return_false');
    }

    return $content;
}, 1);

3. Edit the page with the issue in the default language.
4. Resave it.
5. Update the translation.
