Hi support,
I have the language switcher menu at the top of the page and on mobile view when I choose to switch language I click on english flag to switch and the first item is clickable and the site stays in english. Its not possible to choose another language because the first item of the switcher in menu is clickable..how I can desactivate it?
I have a WordPress site with Elementor and basic Hello theme, which should be compatible with WPML. If you think this is an Elementor issue, I will contact their support.
I have the same problem on hidden link and hidden link web pages.

Best Regards, Marko

Hi there.

This will require custom work to fix it and that falls out of the purpose of our WPML Support Policy.

Probably the issue is caused by the theme or by the builder it's being used with the theme.

My recommendation is to try to use a custom language switcher.

Related documentation:

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#custom-language-switchers

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Hi Mihai,

Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve the problem with the Custom menu, which has the option Dropdown click, so now it is OK.
Thanks a lot for the support!
