Background of the issue:
I am trying to style the language switcher on my site hidden link. I am following the documentation provided by WPML: 'https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/' and have added the suggested styling to the additional CSS in language switcher options as instructed.

Symptoms:
The styling changes I made to the language switcher do not seem to have any effect.

Questions:
Why are the styling changes not affecting the language switcher?

Thanks for sharing.

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:
