Overview of the issue
If your user’s profile language is different from the site’s default language, visiting the WordPress Customizer causes original strings to be replaced by their translations. This occurs with admin strings registered in WPML > String Translation.
This issue may affect themes that use Customizer options such as Astra Theme.
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/admin-texts/wpml-admin-texts.class.php file.
- Look for line 214.
- Replace:
$isAdmin = is_admin() && ! wpml_is_ajax();
- With:
$isAdmin = is_admin() && ! wpml_is_ajax() || ( isset($_REQUEST["wp_customize"]) && $_REQUEST["wp_customize"] == "on" ) || ( isset($_POST["screen_id"]) && $_POST["screen_id"] == "customize");
