[Resolved] Language switcher returns current language only on date archive pages

Thanks for your response, but I'm not sure I follow you.

The title on the archive page is a string translation of the WP tagline -- there is nothing wrong with that. Does string translation affect the language switcher?

My issue is with the language switcher, as per the title of this ticket.

On the date archive pages, such as:
hidden link - date archive in EN
hidden link - date archive in ES

The language switcher is not returning the correct links that will allow me to switch between EN and ES.

Hover on the language switcher links 'English' and 'Espanol' on the above two links (see attached PNG)

On hidden link both the 'English' and 'Espanol' links return only the English link. I cannot switch to Spanish.

On hidden link both the 'English' and 'Espanol' links return only the Spanish link. I cannot switch to English.

Hope this is a clearer explanation of the problem.

Thanks for your response.

For future reference, please explain your logic whenever you ask me to do something ... simply asking "Could you describe the steps you are following in order to add the title for this archive page?" does not give me assurance that you had understood my question.

My concern is we have a language barrier between us, so please try to be more careful when explaining what you want me to do and be exact when describing steps.

I visited WPML -> Settings -> Post types translation, and I believe you want me to select the option "Translatable - only show translated items" ... so I selected that for posts, and clicked on the Save button.

I then checked the date archive pages and still see that the problem with the language switcher as described in my earlier responses is not solved.

The link you provided seems to be for a Unyson framework on the TwentySeventeen theme, so it does not seem to be applicable for my setup. I assume that that link uses the latest WPML plugin versions, yes?

For the language switcher, I used the following in the template:

do_action('wpml_add_language_selector');

I had customised the output via WPML -> Languages -> Custom language switchers -> Customize

If you view the date archive pages on your mobile phone, the mobile menu language switcher also shows the same problem.

I had customised the output of the menu language switcher via WPML -> Languages -> Menu language switcher.

Hope these help.

Thanks for your reply.

A copy of the site has been migrated to your proposed test server, so you can continue with your tests there.

Hope to hear from you again soon!

It's ok with me as long as a solution is found.

The wpml_add_language_selector do_action is found in the client's custom theme, so you won't find it after switching to a default theme.

themes/securelybe/templates/header.php

themes/securelybe/templates/header-home.php

Do let me know what the next steps are now that it seems it could be the client's custom Roots theme that is somehow affecting the language switcher URLs. Thanks!
