Problem: The client needed to reinstate the language option next to the search icon on their website. During the translation process, the entire header was deleted, and although the flags were restored, they were incorrectly positioned and styled. Solution: We recommended the client to ensure they have a backup of their site, which can be done using the UpdraftPlus plugin. After confirming the backup, we provided custom CSS to correct the positioning and styling of the language switcher. Here is the CSS code we used:
.sitepress_container > .wpml-ls ul ul li a:hover::after {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
}
