Overview of the issue

When using Bricks with WPML, you might experience an issue where opening the Bricks editor for the default language redirects to an incorrect URL with an extra language directory, which results in a 404 error. This can happen when WPML is set to use directory for default language.

Workaround

Workaround 1

• Go to Bricks > Settings > Builder


• Set the builder language to “Site Default” and save

Workaround 2

• Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.

  add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function () {
  	if ( ! defined( 'ICL_SITEPRESS_VERSION' ) || ! class_exists( 'BricksTheme' ) ) {
  		return;
  	}
  
  	$bricks = BricksTheme::instance();
  
  	// 1. Prevent Bricks from switching language
  	if ( ! empty( $bricks->wpml ) ) {
  		remove_action( 'bricks/builder/switch_locale', [ $bricks->wpml, 'switch_builder_languge' ] );
  	}
  
  	// 2. Instead switch UI locale
  	add_action( 'bricks/builder/switch_locale', function ( $locale ) {
  		if ( empty( $locale ) || empty( $_GET['bricks'] ) || $_GET['bricks'] !== 'run' ) {
  			return;
  		}
  
  		// prevent memory exhausion I got on my sandbox
  		static $lock = false;
  		if ( $lock ) {
  			return;
  		}
  		$lock = true;
  
  		try {
  			// Switch UI locale
  			switch_to_locale( $locale );
  			// Reload Bricks theme textdomain 
  			unload_textdomain( 'bricks' );
  			load_theme_textdomain( 'bricks', get_template_directory() . '/languages' );
  		} finally {
  			$lock = false;
  		}
  
  	}, 5, 1 );
  
  }, 20 );
