    Hi there,

    after trying to help myself, reading and coding a lot, I didn’t find the happy end, so I must ask:

    Please have a look at the current site (see private content)

    You see the language selector at the top left.

    I’d like to DON’T show the current (active) language, and I DON’T want flags to be shown, better not being loaded at all (and then hide them via css).

    I came across these:

    https://wpml.org/forums/topic/theme-enfold-delete-flag-header-menu/
    https://wpml.org/forums/topic/urgent-text-switcher-in-the-top-nav-bar-menu/

    I ended up with this in my child theme’s functions.php

    if(!function_exists('avia_wpml_language_switch'))
	{
		add_action( 'avia_meta_header', 'avia_wpml_language_switch', 10);
		add_action( 'ava_main_header_sidebar', 'avia_wpml_language_switch', 10);

		function avia_wpml_language_switch()
		{
			global $sitepress, $avia_config;
            
            if(empty($avia_config['wpml_language_menu_position'])) $avia_config['wpml_language_menu_position'] = apply_filters('avf_wpml_language_switcher_position', 'sub_menu');
            if($avia_config['wpml_language_menu_position'] != 'sub_menu') return;

			$languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=0&orderby=custom');
			$output = "";

			if(is_array($languages))
			{
				$output .= "<ul class='avia_wpml_language_switch avia_wpml_language_switch_extra'>";

				foreach($languages as $lang){
				
				if(!$lang['active'])
				
				{
					$currentlang = (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == $lang['language_code']) ? 'avia_current_lang' : '';

					if(!avia_is_overview() && (is_home() || is_front_page())) $lang['url'] = $sitepress->language_url($lang['language_code']);
					         
					$output .= "<li class='language_".$lang['language_code']." $currentlang'><a href='".$lang['url']."'>";
					$output .= "	<span class='language_native'>".$lang['native_name']."</span>";
					$output .= "</a></li>";
				}

				$output .= "</ul>";
				}
			}

			echo $output;
		}
	}

    and I was near to what I wanted, but the styling was only working for the german language anymore.

    So please put me on the rails here. Thank you.

    Hi cherrmann!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    If you need to remove the current language in the switcher, add this in the Quick CSS field:

    .avia_current_lang {
    display: none !important;
}

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Thanks Ismael, while this is working (visually), I would like to put this a step further (as I wrote) and don’t load the flags and then hide them.

    Hey!

    Alright. Please add this in the functions.php file:

    // remove current lang
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'ava_custom_script' );
function ava_custom_script() {
	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	(function($){
		function b() {
			$('.avia_current_lang').remove();
		}

		b();
	})(jQuery);
	</script>
	<?php
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    this is more what I like ;-) , I added one more line as:

    		function b() {
			$('.avia_current_lang').remove();
			$('.language_flag').remove();
		}

    And this looks like the solution I was after. Please tell me if you underline it, or if there is any reason for not using the code like that.

    edit: seems that the flags still get loaded, and then get stripped of the code this way, right?

    My best regards.

    Hi!

    Yes, the flag will be loaded then remove by the script. I don’t see any problem with that performance-wise. Actually, the css solution should be sufficient. I don’t seeany reason why you need to remove it completely.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    I agree it’s not the best example to talk about performance here. Nevertheless I like ‘pretty’ solutions, and I like understanding what I’m doing. Why not cut the code where the flags are being loaded? If I could manage this, I know how to deal with other ‘problems’ like that. The code in the functions.php does work 99%, and I was behind the 1% which I oversaw..

    However:
    The jquery-solution now is not any better then using the CSS, right?

    What I will do next is trying again by myself.

    Thank you anyway, I appreciate what you’re doing, until now I bought your theme 3 times and made friends buying it. So something must be right about it ;-)

    Got it, I think I just messed with the brackets or had some caching issue..

    So this is my final code, put in child theme’s functions.php.

    ...
				$output .= "<ul class='avia_wpml_language_switch avia_wpml_language_switch_extra'>";

				foreach($languages as $lang) {
				
				if(!$lang['active'])
					
					{
						$currentlang = (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == $lang['language_code']) ? 'avia_current_lang' : '';

						if(!avia_is_overview() && (is_home() || is_front_page())) $lang['url'] = $sitepress->language_url($lang['language_code']);
								 
						$output .= "<li class='language_".$lang['language_code']." $currentlang'><a href='".$lang['url']."'>";
						$output .= "	<span class='language_native'>".$lang['native_name']."</span>";
						$output .= "</a></li>";
					}
				}
				$output .= "</ul>";
			}

			echo $output;

...

    And what a great performance dropping the flags !! :) :) :)

    Can be closed, thank you!
