Currently, I'm redesigning our website. One of the things I would like to improve is a selector to choose a language.
How can I configurate something like on your site (see also attachment)?
The one from the screenshot that you attached is a dropdown-style language switcher where the language names are unchecked from the options and only the flag is left checked.
I added the block Language Switch to the banner container of the website. This goes allright, the language switcher is shown, but the dropdown does not work.
It makes no difference if I disable / enable “Open on click”.
The URL of the staging area is: hidden link
At the top right corner you can see the language switcher.
I’m looking forward to your reaction.
If necessary, I can give you access to the backend.
If that's still not working, can you please let me know if this issue happens even when only the WPML plugins are active and you are using a default WordPress theme?
Please try the following steps so that we can test for a compatibility-related issue:
- create a full website backup
- disable all plugins except WPML and its add-ons
- check if the issue is happening again
- if it's not, reactivate your plugins one by one, checking every time if the issue shows up again so that you can understand which plugin is causing that issue
If the issue happens even with the non-WPML plugins disabled:
- leave all the non-WPML plugins deactivated
- switch to a default theme like TwentySeventeen
- try to recreate the issue now
If you have the chance, it would be best to do this in a staging (testing) environment.
Please let me know how that goes and if following any of these steps solved your issue or brought any change.
I can't use the a default theme because I'm using generatepress and it generates a banner where the WPML language switcher is included.
I have now inserted also the manual shortcode in the banner and that one seems working.
So inserting a shortcode could solve it.
You can see both language switchers in the staging area: hidden link
In the Gutenberg block I used the country code, like nl, us, etc.
How can I use that in a custom code, I didn't see it in the configuration?
And the second question: I defined width=180px; to get a minimal width, is there a more robust (non px) way to specify a minimal width?
