[Resolved] Embedded property is missing from API call

I have found that using 'lang' as the parameter to specify language in the request (you are using 'wpml_language') appears to fix this problem.

You can see in the screenshot I used 'lang=fr' in the request and the response includes the expected '_embedded' property.

Could you please modify your requests so that they use 'lang' as the parameter to specify the language.

OK, if it is not possible to modify the request parameter to use 'lang' instead of 'wpml_language' then I can propose a workaround, editing a WPML plugin file, which you can use in the meantime until the developers take a closer look at this and come up with a permanent solution.

Edit the file plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language/Detection/Backend.php

Locate the function get_requested_lang() defined from line 25.

Replace the first few lines with this:

	public function get_requested_lang() {
		$findFromSystemVars = Fns::until(
			Logic::isNotNull(),
			[
				$this->getForPage(),
				$this->getFromParam( [ 'get', 'lang' ], true ),
				$this->getFromParam( [ 'get', 'wpml_language' ], true ), // workaround
				$this->getFromParam( [ 'post', 'icl_post_language' ], false ),
				$this->getPostElementLanguage(),
			]
		);

Note that the only change is the line I added with a comment "workaround".

Try that and let me know if that helps.

I guess we can close here, then.

I have raised the issue of the wpml_language parameter with the developers, and I expect at some point they will look to update the code so that both the lang and wpml_language parameters behave the same, but in the meantime if you are able to shift to use the lang parameter you should do so.

Thanks for clarifying.
