Reported for: WPML Multilingual CMS 4.7.0

Topic Tags: Bug

Overview of the issue

On the WordPress admin dashboard a WPML notice “Do you want the WordPress admin to be in a different language?” is displayed.

Ordinarily it can be dismissed and will not be shown again, but on some sites dismissing the notice fails and it re-appears when the page is reloaded.

Workaround

We do not currently have a workaround, but the developers are working on a solution.

  1. This is an extremely annoying bug. It’s not that difficult to fix. I see this was opened on version 4.7.0, and we’re now on 6.7.2. I was hoping that your project was open source, but I see it’s not, so I can’t fix it myself. If you guys need help, let me know. I’m unemployed anyway.

    • The version refers to WPML not to WordPress, and we have only just released 4.7.2.

      The issue has been raised with the developers and hopefully it won’t be too long before we get a solution. If they are able to offer a workaround before a fix is available via a plugin update we will add details here.

    • Hello there,

      A fix is scheduled for WPML 4.8, though we don’t have an estimated release date at this time. We will keep this page updated.

  2. Until a patch is published, simply add this code to your functions.php:


    add_action('admin_head', function () {
    echo '
    [data-id="WPML_User_Languagehow_to_set_notice"] {
    display: none !important;
    }
    ';
    });
