Trying to edit functions.php file from Theme File Editor within wordpress console.

When WPML Multilingual CMS plugin is active, I get an error trying to save edits to functions.php which says "Scrape key check failed. Please try again." When I deactivate WPML CMS plugin, edits to functions.php save without a problem.

The website is hidden link

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with the first debugging steps or if I can help with the issue quickly.

I understand when you edit your theme files from the Appearance Theme File Editor Screen, you get an error “Scrape key check failed” when WPML plugin is active. Did I get that right?

If so, could you please confirm if the same issue happens when you keep WPML plugins activated and deactivate the SiteGround Security plugin?
