Hi there.

This is definitely super weird and I am sure that it was somehow added in a dynamic area or that it comes from some kind of a custom implementation but no worries, here is what you can do:

Please go to Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS > add the following CSS code and save.


 .sidebar p.wpml-ls-statics-post_translations.wpml-ls, .site-footer p.wpml-ls-statics-post_translations.wpml-ls {
    display: none !important;
}

This should make the switcher disappear from the sidebar and footer 🙂

Have an amazing weekend!
