This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client was unable to attach a WPML language switcher to the 'main' menu on their development website, which was built using Elementor. WPML did not recognize the menu, and the client preferred the language switcher to be integrated directly within the menu rather than as a separate element.
Solution:
1. We advised the client to ensure that the menu is translated, as WPML requires menus to be translated to assign a language switcher to them. Detailed steps for translating menus can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/
2. After translating the menu, the client can add a language switcher to it via WPML -> Languages.
3. We also recommended increasing the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB, as per WPML's minimum requirements. This can be done by adding the following code to the wp-config.php file:
/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');This code should be placed above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.
The client can verify the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
