    Hello,

    I have a problem with the WPML language switcher.

    I added the code as described here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/display-language-switcher-in-wpml-and-enfold/ and ticked the “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu”.

    The flags in the main menu disappeared but the dropdown does not show up. Can you help me?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hey Fiorelina!

    Did you select the right menu from the dropdown next to the “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu” checkbox?

    Cheers!

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Yes, it’s the correct menu – the main menu that is visible on the site itself.

    Kind regards

    Ok, please give the user “kriesisupport” admin rights – I’ll check the configuration.

    Hey!

    I couldn’t find the reason why it’s not working. I think it might be a problem of some customized code – I noticed that some theme options (i.e. the “Secondary Menu” option) also don’t work. Please try to upload an unmodified version of Enfold 2.9.2 and check if the language switcher then starts to work. You can also try to report the issue to the WPML – maybe they can provide some useful hints why it’s not working in your case.

    Regards,
    Peter

    Hey, guys!

    I’ve had this issue regularly. But with the solutions offered on Kriesi’s support page I could solve it.

    NOW, with the updates WP (4.0) and its necessary updates of Enfold and WPML nothing helps anymore! And no, I’ve used no modified versions of Enfold.

    Aren’t there more users having this problem?

    Could you guys help us?

    Kind regards

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for your investigation.

    I only made two changes to the code.. the one mentioned above and one minimal change to the footer. All other changes are CSS changes that I did via the Quick CSS area. Deleting my CSS for testing purposes did not help. The secondary menu seems to be working fine in both cases.

    I will try with a new completely unmodified version though…

    Thank…

    Hi!

    Looks like the switcher is not rendering other languages except for the active language. You might need to use the theme’s default language flags for now until we find the problem. We’ll give you an update.

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for the update. Is it possible to modify the language flags. I couldn’t find them in the images folder.

    Best regards

    Hi!

    We use the default WPML flags. You can find them in wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/flags/

    Cheers!

    Hi Peter, Hi Ismael,

    any solutions for turning the flags into a dropdown?

    Kind regards

    Hi!

    The WPML plugin should add the language dropdown to the menu if you tick the “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu” option and select the main menu (or secondary menu) in the dropdown: http://www.clipular.com/c/5697699709976576.png?k=tR7hiYan-r1Pht6Rl__rwYgcx8k

    I have the same problem since I updated to latest version of Enfold. I used to have a language dropdown. This is now gone. None of the settings I change seem to do anything.

    Perhaps I should go back to a previous version of Enfold as well, but I remember the layout builder did not work anymore, so I was forced to update.

    I’ve already opened a ticket at WPML support, but I honestly think it may have something to do with Enfold, especially since I’m not the only one here. This is my site: http://goo.gl/tcf1o5

    EDIT: Oh and Yigit, my settings are as follows:
    – Language Switcher in the WP menu is set to Display the language switcher in the WP Menu [Top menu]
    – Language Switcher options is set to Drop-down menu [Mobile friendly for mobile agents only]
    – What to include in the language switcher is set to Native language name

    I’ve also disabled all other plugins than WPML and it still didn’t work. I’ve change settings like “Mobile friendly …” to “Classic” and so on, nothing changes. I’ve changed no PHP or CSS since theme update, whatsoever.

    @Yigit : I have set it correctly, as before when it worked, but since the update it doesn’t work anymore…


    @DavyE     : I have the same problem like you, as described in my post above. But I am sure that it has something to do with Enfold and not WPML, since I’m using WPML in combination with several other Themes and they are working properly.

    Hope for a working solution soon

    Thanks in advance

    I’m not sure why, but for some reason I could fix it by going to:
    Display the language switcher in the WP Menu and change the selected menu to –select–. That’s right, no menu selected.

    It then appeared correctly again in my top menu, BUT also in my main menu. To temporarily fix this I have just added this to my CSS:
    #header_main .menu-item-language {display:none;}

    Maybe you can try that? Hopefully that’ll help you too while waiting for a better fix.

    Hey!

    Thanks for the update DavyE. I’ll ask Kriesi to look into it.

    @DavyE: Thanks a lot, that seems to be a good temporary solution! :D
