How to change currecy using a url parameter

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

This was an issue with the currency symbol in the mini cart widget in the header. It didn't change to the current symbol when the cart was empty.

Solution:

We checked this issue on our side and found it was not an issue with WPML or WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency. It was an issue with the custom code by the user.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi. So if I understand correctly the issue is with the mini cart widget in the header. And this is a feature of the Flatsome theme. Is this correct?

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi. To continue and help with this issue that you have we need to replicate it on a fresh and new WordPress site. For this purpose, I've already installed a new WordPress site and also installed and configured WooCommerce and WPML on it. When I check things on this site everything works as expected regarding the default currency switcher of WooCommerce Multilingual. When I change the currency it is changing on the products that are on the page. And it is also changing on the cart widget in the header of the Flatsome theme. I've recorded a video. Please see it here. hidden link So now I want to ask you to install the plugin or code that you are using to switch the currency on this test site. Then we'll be able to continue and debug this issue. And if needed we'll escalate to our compatibility team. You can access it through this link: hidden link With this link, you'll be directly logged in. Could you please install the currency switcher plugin that you are using and see if the issue is also happening on a clean WordPress installation? When everything is finished, and you can replicate the problem, please let me know. Thanks, Itamar.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi and thanks for installing the plugin. I can see this problem on the test site. You wrote: "Please add MaxMind Licence Key on woo commerce for location based currency as default" Do I still need to do that?
