Background of the issue:
I am experiencing an issue with WPML on my site hidden link. The default language is automatically changing from English to Czech when editing or publishing a post. I have enabled debugging in the wp-config.php file and removed the latest code, but nothing has resolved the issue.

Symptoms:
The default language changes automatically from English to Czech, which breaks the site.

Questions:
What could cause the default language to change automatically in WPML?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

Apparently it looks like a conflict coming due to either the old version of WordPress and WPML plugins, or from another plugin or theme.

I recommend updating WPML plugins to the latest versions and try again.

IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand. 

It is highly advised to try this on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised.

If this doesn't help, then please try the following:

1) Take a full backup of your site and database before proceeding, if haven't already.
2) Deactivate all plugins except WPML and String Translation.
3) Switch to a standard theme like 2024 or 2021.
4) Check for the issue if it still happens.
5) Then start activating plugins one by one while keep checking for the issue. This way you 'll be able to pinpoint a conflict when & where it starts creating the problem.
6) If after activating all plugins you see that it still works fine, then switch to your theme and see if that's causing it.

Please let me know your findings and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter.

Regards.
