kateH-7	Background of the issue: I am trying to: After I save a page or post, the language code gets removed from the URL. /wp-admin/post.php?post=38316&action=edit&lang=us becomes /wp-admin/post.php?post=38316&action=edit Symptoms: The language code is removed from the URL after saving a page or post. Questions: Why is the language code disappearing from the URL after saving a page or post? How can I ensure the language code remains in the URL after saving?

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support, I will gladly help you. I noticed from the debug information you provided that you are using WPML v4.6.11, I suggest updating to the latest version (I might be a good practice updating any other plugin that might require updating on your website). * Note: Please make sure you have a full backup of your website before making any updates/changes to your website. After the update, clear the website's cache (server-side included) and check if the issue persists. Let me know how it goes, Marsel

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for the update. Would it be possible to check if the issue happens in a minimal setup, meaning: - switch to a default WP theme - keep active only WPML Plugins and must-have plugins - disable all other plugins After, check if the issue is still happening. Note: Please make sure you have a full backup (files & database) before trying anything on your website. Let me know how it goes, Marsel

kateH-7	Hi, I have tried the minimal setup but the issue still persists. The lang URL parameter is being stripped as the page/post is updating

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for the update. To further troubleshoot the issue I would require a copy of your website to test it locally and further escalate the issue if needed. You can use the Duplicator plugin to create a copy of your website and upload the backup on a file-sharing website (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), please send me the link to download the backup after. * Please try to minimize the size of the backup file by excluding unnecessary media files or backup folders that might be in the "/wp-content/" folder. I’ve set your next reply as private so you can provide the backup link. Thanks, Marsel
