sallyR	Im need to move the shown flag symbols out of the menu, and place them above the main menu. Is there a css or a short code to accomplish this? Thx

Joanna	Hello @sallyr, Yes, you can add a language switcher in a custom place. You can add WPML’s language switcher to your theme files, using one of these hooks: 1. wpml_add_language_selector – Display WPML’s drop-down language switcher https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_add_language_selector/ 2. wpml_footer_language_selector – Display WPML’s horizontal language switcher https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_footer_language_selector/ You can also use the following shortcodes: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/shortcodes/ Then, you can specify the custom language switchers option in WPML->Languages->Custom language switchers or WPML->Languages->Footer language switcher (depending on the hook or shortcode that you used).

sallyR	Hello Joanna, thanks for the reply. Which Code I need to show the Flags in the Header?

Joanna	Hello sallyR, In the header, I would use the following code: do_action( 'wpml_add_language_selector' ); Please check the screenshot to see where you can customize that language switcher and set e.g. flags only. customizels.png
