    Hi,

    I try to add a flag with an external link to the already existing wpml flags (german and english).
    I did research in the forums of WPML and discovered a very new post of 2019, which says, that a given code to do this, is not working in enfold.
    The post is here:
    https://wpml.org/forums/topic/link-one-language-to-a-different-domain/

    Could you please help me with the issue?

    Thank you so much for your support.

    Best regards,
    Christina

    I just had a chat with the WPML support. They gave me code, which worked for a few seconds.
    Then, it switched back to link to an (of course not existing) brazilian Homepage – which I need to link to an external url.

    The WPML support said, it is caused by a custom language switcher of the theme.

    Could you please please help me with the issue?

    Best regards,
    Christina

    I really getting mad now.

    I installed a plugin for redirecting. Its working fine – except there is an “u” before the correct url.
    This also showed up, when the code from WPLM was working for a few seconds – it linked to the external url, but with an unwanted “u” in front of the url.

    This is an unpleasant situation. I really do need help!

    Best regards,
    Christina

    Hi guys,

    after desperatly searching for a solution I finally came up with this very helpful post from Günther
    – A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO GÜNTHER – HE IS SUCH A HELPFUL SUPPORT MEMBER – AND MY HERO OF THE DAY

    The helpful post from Günther:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/wpml-link-one-flag-to-different-domain/

    This finally solved my problem.

    But guys: I’m very sure this is a common topic for a lot of people.
    It would be helpful, if there was an how to section for popular issues with WPML.

    You can close this topic now.

    Regards,
    Christina
