How to display only one flag in language switcher

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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with displaying only one flag in the language switcher on your website, such that when the site is in Croatian, only the English flag is visible, and vice versa.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps:
1. Navigate to the WPML >> Languages page.
2. Click on the 'Edit language switcher' icon.
3. In the language switcher settings popup, disable the 'Current language' option and press the save button.
This adjustment will ensure that only the opposite language's flag is displayed in the language switcher.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.

matijaG-2	Hi Can I manage the flags of the language to be visible just one flag? What I mean is that when the web is in croatian language you can see only english flag and opposite. Is there an option for that? Thanks

Go to the WPML >> Languages page. 2. Click on the Edit language switcher icon as you can see in the attached screenshot. 3. Disable the “Current language” from the language switcher settings popup and press the save button as you can see in the attached screenshot.

Noman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	I’ve noticed that the mobile language switcher is added using the Elementor language switcher widget which has a known issue: https://wpml.org/errata/elementor-its-not-possible-to-fully-customize-wpml-language-switchers-widget/ So, I followed the workaround from the above errata and now it shows the opposite language in language switcher correctly. Could you please check and confirm? Thank you

Noman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	As the mobile language switcher is added using the Elementor language switcher widget which has a known issue with only showing the opposite language in language switcher. Can you please try to follow the workaround from the errata page below: https://wpml.org/errata/elementor-its-not-possible-to-fully-customize-wpml-language-switchers-widget/ and see if this resolves the issue. If the issue persists, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue. I’ve enabled a private input box for your next reply. === Please backup your database and website === ✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. Thank you
