The drop down menu for language selection overlaps on mobile devices. Font too large and orange. I don't know how to adjust this. It used to be in the hamburger menu.

Hello there,

It seems that there is a language switcher inserted directly on the main-header, on the mobile view. WPML does not do that by default, so this must have been inserted manually.

Please check if the header was created with Divi, if the language switcher is there. Also, since you're using a custom child theme, talk to your developer to see if there's a custom coded switcher there. Let me know your results.

Thank you for following up, I never saw your response. How should this be set up properly for mobile?

Hey there,

Make sure you're subscribed to the topic, so you receive notifications about my responses. Check the image.

Now, WPML allows you to add Language Switchers to your menus, footers, or templates, regardless if they're mobile or not - this comes from the theme. You can find the instructions here:

I have the language switcher set up with WPML in the top menu. It's fine for desktop view but does not look right on mobile. See attached.

I would like to look at this directly on your site. For this I would need temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site, preferably to a test/staging site where the problem has been replicated if possible.

The required fields can be found below the comments section. The information you enter is private, i.e. only you and I can see it and have access to it.

I may need to replicate your website locally. To do this, I need to temporarily install a plugin called "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" on your website. This will allow me to create a copy of your website and content. Once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local website. Let me know if this works for you.

IMPORTANT

Please make a backup copy of the site files and database before giving us access.

- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, this means your post and site login details are being made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details if you do not see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
