I want to use shortcode to display the language switcher in the secondary menu, on the left side of where the call or text portion is. I've tried adding a function to do that but nothing is working. I also can't figure out how to properly link the secondary language to the translation of the current page. I would think that's automatically applied.
The redirect was added by the Redirection plugin which I didn't know was installed. I removed that, and the translations are working properly.
I'm also trying to place the shortcode for the language switcher in the secondary top menu and nothing I do works. I've followed documentation for creating a filter to output the shortcode and can't get it to work.
I added this PHP - do_action('wpml_add_language_selector'); and the attached screenshot is what happens, it outputs the shortcode but not the actual contents of the shortcode.
The PHP you added is correct, do_action('wpml_add_language_selector');
Please go to Menus and remove the shortcode, then go to WPML->languages and activate the custom language switcher option.
If that does not resolve the issue, please sahre with me where in the code you added the PHP and I have enabled the private field reply for us to take a closer look.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)
**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **
I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.
NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
Hi Ryan, thank you for sharing that information, very helpful!
This code needs to be added directly within the theme's php files in the correct location, adding it in the snippets plugins will not render correctly.
the SFTP details are not working for me and I'm also not able to install a plugin like file manager to try doing it from the Ui.
