wdburgdorf	Please have a look at function styleLanguageSwitcher() in wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/block-editor/Loader.php Could that not be somewhat related to it?

Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi Ralf, Thank you very much for your feedback. Can you add the custom language switcher to the sandbox site? That way we can take a deeper look and check if there is something buggy on our code 🙂

wdburgdorf	Sorry, Carlos, it is indeed not the Custom switcher, but the switcher Gutenberg block. I will add that to your site now.

wdburgdorf	There you go: hidden link Same as on my site, including inline styles.

Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Thanks! Quick question: You just added the Gutenberg block with the language switcher, no additional code, correct?

wdburgdorf	Yes, no code, I'm not cheating ... I changed block settings, so it looks more like mine, and switched on the second language in the switcher setting. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the code. You can just delete that switcher and add it again, it will be the same.
