HTML loop issue when entering wrong password on login

    Hi!

    We are currently developing a site that uses User Registration, and there is an issue where the HTML of the page gets messed up when a wrong password is entered into the login form. This happens with no other error, only “invalid password”. It looks to me like there’s an issue with some loop which makes it throw out a ridiculous amount of <strong></strong> tags and interferes with the rest of the page HTML.

    We have not made any HTML changes to the login form nor error messages. All the styling is applied by dequeueing UR CSS and applying our own styles.

    We were using version 1.5.x earlier but updated to the latest (1.6.1 currently) and the issue persists.

    Unfortunately I cannot provide a link to the site as it is in a private development environment. I’m wondering if anyone has had this issue on their site?

    Screenshot of the issue (rest of the page, aka sidebar, gets messed up):

    Sorry, we were unable to replicate the issue in our local environment. Can you please try deactivating some plugins temporarily. The might be some conflict with other plugins.
    Let us know if you find any culprit plugin.

    Hi!

    Thank you for the reply! Your guess turned out to be correct – the issue only appeared if WPML Multilingual CMS was active. I started digging further into what could be causing it, and it turned out that the translation of this string had broken HTML in the Official Estonian translation pack for WordPress (.mo file I suppose). The <strong> tag after “ERROR” was missing the forward slash to close it. I will see if I can report this somewhere so they can correct it. For now, I have simply manually overwritten this string and corrected it.

    The issue is now resolved. Thank you for your time. ??
