Placing of the language sign.

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

Problem:
The client wants to place the English language switcher below the search option in the 3rd column of the header on every page of their Divi-themed website.

Solution:
We recommend adding the language switcher to a specific location by using a shortcode. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Enable a custom language switcher and customize it according to your needs.
2. Place the shortcode

[wpml_language_selector_widget]

in your Divi module.
For detailed instructions, please refer to our documentation: Adding language switchers using PHP and shortcodes.

If this solution doesn't look relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket in our WPML support forum.

rinusv	Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to place the English language indication below the search option, in the 3rd column. This is the header that appears on every page. Is there a simple code for this? Site made up in Divi Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? modernglas.nl

If you want to add the language switcher in a specific location, you can achieve that by using a shortcode and place it in a Divi module. Here is our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/adding-language-switchers-using-php-and-shortcodes/ In short: - Enable a custom language switcher and customize it as you want - Place the shortcode [wpml_language_selector_widget] in your divi module

rinusv	Good day, I placed the '<?php do_action('icl_navigation_menu'); ?>' version in the heading on the homepage as intended. No result. Apparently I am doing something wrong. Can you please give me the correct code? And do I have to place this on every page or will this then continue in every header?

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello and happy new year! That PHP code must be used in the PHP templates of your current theme. If you want to place it inside a Divi template you should use the shortcode version as instructed in my previous answer: [wpml_language_selector_widget] If you still have issues placing that shortcode, please let me know and I'll activate a private field where you will be able to share admin credentials for me. (Don't share them here on the public forum).

rinusv	I'm sorry, but I can't figure it out! Is it possible to do this with css too? I understand, after some searching that it can only be done in php. But with the expectation of eventually going to DIVI 5 anyway, I don't feel like doing a php modification. I'm not that technical, sorry.

You can simply use the shortcode in a divi module (no need for the PHP code in that case). I made a quick video, I hope it will be helpful: hidden link
