    Hi,

    I would like to add the language switcher of the MultilingualPress plugin in ENFOLD’s header area – but in the small sub-menu next to the social icons.

    I am using this header layout:

    I tried to add a header widget area like it is mentioned here:

    Adding a widget area to the header

    but then it adds the language switcher box to the main menu area below this small sub-menu stripe.

    Can you please tell me how to add such a “header widget area” to the sub-menu stripe (https://imgur.com/NHe15J6) ?

    It is working in some way, because he had success in adding the switcher box:

    Thank you.

    Hey Gitte,

    To be able to add the language switcher there you need to edit the header.php file, after activating a child theme and copying this file there.

    Or we could try to move the switcher there from the main header area by means of css, if that is feasible.

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,

    thanks, and what about a header widget area, doesn’t this work?

    And why the header.php, there is not much in this file – for adding the flags to the submenu resp. next to the social icons: wouldn’t it be better to use helper-main-menu.php?

    Hi Gitte,

    Yes, you’re correct, it’s the helper-main-menu.php file that has all the menus in it.

    okay, then back to my first post’s question, you still haven’t answered it:

    Hi Gitte,

    Do you have the code or the shortcode for adding that element?

    Hi,

    yes, I have a snippet, but due to I am not a coder, I don’t know how to add this to a header-widget-area within the submenu (not main menu!):

    <?php
	if( function_exists( 'mlp_show_linked_elements' ) ) :
	mlp_show_linked_elements( 
	array(
	'link_text' => 'flag', // oder 'text' oder 'text_flag'
	'show_current_blog' => TRUE   // TRUE - display the current language, FALSE - hide the current language (default)
	) 
	);
	endif;
?>

    Hi,

    That snippet can only be added on the functions.php file ( from what I see it includes ) and not to widget.
    Does it also have maybe a function that prints the things out?

    hm, no … that is the only snippet I got from them that I should add in the menu area for a language switcher, that connects the German and the English version of a post/page:

    Hi,

    Thank you the update.

    Please replace the function with the following code.

    function mlp_show_linked_elements_mod() {
	if( function_exists( 'mlp_show_linked_elements' ) ) {
		return mlp_show_linked_elements( 
			array(
			'link_text' => 'flag', // oder 'text' oder 'text_flag'
			'show_current_blog' => TRUE   // TRUE - display the current language, FALSE - hide the current language (default)
			) 
		);
	}
	
}

add_shortcode( 'mlp_show', 'mlp_show_linked_elements_mod' );

    Use the shortcode in a text widget.

    
[mlp_show]

    I’m not sure what the function actually returns so you should ask the plugin author for more info.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
