Marie-Aude	Hello, I am trying to: programatically get the list of all languages active ( wp_icl_languages.active = 1) using the hook "wpml_active_languages" for which documentation says : "Filters the list of the languages enabled (active) for a site. " I have three languages, fr (main), english (active) and ar (hidden) and I use apply_filters( 'wpml_active_languages', NULL, array ('skip_missing' => 0 ) ) ; Link to a page where the issue can be seen: site is protected behind htpassword, I can provide the credentials I expected to see: an array with three languages Instead, I got: an array with two languages (hidden language is missing, though there is content translated in arabic) Ofc, I can retrieve the list of active languages with a simple query in the database, but : - the documentation is misleading - imho this should definitively bee a wpml function - I don't like to code myself such basic queries as they always might break if something changes in WPML.

Marie-Aude	Hello I'd love to, but the link sends me to a 404 (and it happens for many links to this forum that I find in Google). I had to search this title on Google and could find the Google cached version. 1- it does the trick 2- does not change the fact that the documentation is inaccurate (as "active languages" in my understanding, include hidden languages: we can work with them, and they are set as active in the database) 3- does not change neither the fact that it would be great to have a filter from WPML to get this information, because basically, it's easier to perform one SQL query than to merge two arrays 😀 Have a nice day.
