benM-13	The language switcher is messing up the formatting on my wp-login page. I am using buddyboss with a captcha. I have managed to hide the language switcher on the registration page using css. body.page-id-11176 .wpml-ls { visibility: hidden !important; } but, I cannot find the page ID for the login page. The option in settings of unchecking " Show Language Switcher on login and registration pages" does not seem to work as the language switcher is still displayed.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. I think you can use the following CSS to hide the language switcher on the login page: .wpml-login-ls { display: none !important; } Please let me know how that goes. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there and thank you for the update. I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it. Our Debugging Procedures I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site. Privacy and Security Policy We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ IMPORTANT - Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access. - If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link I will be waiting for your response. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Thank you. I added this code in the functions.php file of the currently active child theme: add_action('login_head', 'hide_wpml_switcher_in_login_page'); function hide_wpml_switcher_in_login_page() { echo '<style> .wpml-login-ls { display: none !important; } </style>'; } That fixed it 🙂 Mihai
