Problem: The client noticed an unexpected x-default tag on their pages and wondered if it was due to a recent WPML plugin version upgrade. They asked if there was a way to deactivate it through the plugin interface or if there was a hook available for controlling it programmatically. Solution: We confirmed that the x-default tag was indeed automatically added in the WPML version 4.5.0 and that there is no built-in option in the WPML interface to switch it on or off. However, we provided a custom hook that can be used to control the x-default tag. Here is the code that the client can use:
This code should be added to the theme's functions.php file or a custom plugin to remove the x-default tag.
