Background of the issue:
I am trying to switch the language as usual. I found an error in the Key, now that it is fixed but still I cannot switch to Arabic (it was working fine). When I choose Arabic from the footer switcher, it reverts to English automatically. Inside any post, there's a language switcher that was working, now the drop down list does not open. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
Language defaults to English when I choose Arabic from the footer. inside posts, Drop down language switcher does not open.

Questions:
Why does the language default to English when I choose Arabic from the footer?
Why does the drop down language switcher not open inside any post?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Could you please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps?

1- Deactivate all the plugins except WPML CMS.
2- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.

If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one is causing an interaction issue.

❌ Please backup your database before performing the above test ❌

Best regards,
Osama
