Overview of the issue

When using WPForms with WPML and the WPForms Multilingual addon, forms containing repeater fields display incorrect field labels (e.g., “Field ID #6_2”) in the notification email instead of the correct field names. Additionally, if a dropdown field is inside that repeater, it triggers an error, preventing the notifications from being sent.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

• Open the …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-wpforms/classes/Hooks/WpForms/Notifications.php file.


• Look for line .


• Replace:

  foreach ( $fields as $key => &$field ) {
      $field['name'] = $formPostFields[ $key ]['label'];
      $entryFields   = Obj::propOr( [], 'fields', $entry );
      if ( array_key_exists( $key, $entryFields ) ) {
          $field['value'] = $this->getFieldValue( $field, $entry['fields'][ $key ], $formPostFields[ $key ], $translatedFields[ $key ] );
      }
  }
          



• With:

  foreach ( $fields as $key => &$field ) {
      $key = strpos( $key, '_' ) !== false ? substr( $key, 0, strpos( $key, '_' ) ) : $key;
      $field['name'] = $formPostFields[ $key ]['label'];
      $entryFields   = Obj::propOr( [], 'fields', $entry );
      if ( array_key_exists( $key, $entryFields ) ) {
          $field['value'] = $this->getFieldValue( $field, $entry['fields'][ $key ], $formPostFields[ $key ], $translatedFields[ $key ] );
      }
  }
