Problem: The client wanted to mask the name of the cookie 'wp-wpml_current_language' used by WPML to enhance security by hiding the use of WordPress. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue and want to rename the WPML cookie to hide the use of WordPress, you have two options: 1. If you do not need to propagate the current language to anonymous AJAX requests, you can disable the cookie in WPML > Languages. For more details, please see our documentation on Enabling language cookie to support AJAX filtering. 2. Alternatively, you can modify the cookie name directly in the plugin files. However, this is considered custom work and falls outside our support policy. You will need to maintain this custom code yourself and reapply it after each WPML update.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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 you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket. For further assistance, you can reach out to us on the WPML support forum.
