[Resolved] When I started using WPML I started receiving spam emails why?

Problem:
You are receiving spam emails on email addresses linked to websites after using WPML. You suspect that WPML might be causing this issue.
Solution:
We suggest that the presence of your email address on the website's pages might be the reason for receiving spam emails, rather than the use of WPML itself. Since WPML only makes your site available in multiple languages, it does not influence the security of email addresses displayed on your site. To reduce spam, consider removing your email address from the website or replacing it with a contact form. This way, your email remains hidden from public view, reducing the likelihood of receiving spam.
If you still suspect WPML is causing the issue, try disabling WPML temporarily to see if the spam emails stop. This can help determine whether WPML is related to the problem.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If needed, do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.
