[Feature Request] Language switcher shortcode does not work in menu

Your shortcode does not work to load the language switcher in the menu.

It's not a matter of whether it's in your policy or not, it's just that WPML doesn't work properly when I try to insert your shortcode in the top menu.

I am not using any plugin to do that, I have activated the option that wordpress gives you to load content in the menu using shortcodes.

WPML is not doing the job.

IT DOES NOT WORK.

The shortcode is working well if is loaded in a page or post but not in the menu.

Is not my fault, is not something to be made by me using the custom code. It is WPML that is not doing the job.

So please, give me a solution because right now you are not helping at all. All you do is to wriggle out of the issue so that you can't give me a solution.

You should add this hook to your functions.php to activate shortcodes in menus (If you prefer, you can also use a plugin called "Shortcode in Menus" but it doesn't work either).

/* ENABLE SHORTCODES MENU */

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'do_shortcode');

Once this is done, you must add a new menu item containing the shortcode: [wpml_language_selector_widget].

You will see that the language switcher does not work, it does not become visible. Something is wrong with WPML that doesn't allow you to insert the language switcher to the menu using the shortcode I have previously indicated.

All you have done in your sandbox wordpress is activate the "Footer language switcher" option from WPML > Languages > Show language switcher in footer, you are not doing what I am asking you to do, unfortunately.

Please check the image I have attached. As you can see, the shortcode shows everything correctly in the page content but in the menu the shortcode is not working.

It neither works in my Divi template nor works in the base wordpress template.

Thanks

Dear Osama... Are you serious? Do you really call that working properly?

I dont need a floating language switcher as you added in the footer. I need a language switcher in the main top menu as I asked you multiple times.

It is more than obvious that the shortcode in top menu it is not working as it should, even a blind man could see it but you are only focused on closing my case as soon as possible and getting a new "solved" case on your record.

What's going on here, are you getting paid for solved cases or how is this going?

I feel like you treat me like an idiot and don't want to help me.

CAN ACCEPT THAT IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND CAN TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION?

Thank you!

Thank you Osama.

I greatly appreciate it.

So no immediate solution to a WPML problem. A vague promise that "it will be looked into, leaves me alone with a basic tutorial that provides no help to non-expert users.

Interesting way to help.

None of this helps me. Absolutely nothing.

If I add a shortcode created by me, it workds perfectly fine!!!!

/* Shortcode to display the year */

function ms_year_shortcode()
{return date("Y");}
add_shortcode("year", "ms_year_shortcode");

Your shortcode doesn't work for a reason and even though I know it doesn't work, you don't help me at all.
