Sticky links is creating a wrong Permalink

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
here was a problem that happened when you tried to link WooCommerce categories using URL by parameters using the text UX Builder shortcode and you used Sticky links.

It seems to happen only when you link child categories in WooCommerce. and the result is that from a link like this:

https://test.pcpclothing.com/product-category/women/clothing/?lang=en (correct)
You’d end up with something like this as soon as sticky links was activated:

https://test.pcpclothing.com/product-category/women/?lang=en&clothing= (incorrect)

I did have to re-save the links otherwise the links would've been wrong, though. I am waiting for one of our developers to check it out so i can escalate this case if needed. I'll keep you informed.

The Smalls	Hi, that worked. In that thread, that's since January, says that in case this change is developed to the next wpml version, we should re-apply the changes. Since then i remember updating 2-3 times the wpml plugins, will you add this to the next version? best regards,
