I set the flags to display for English and Hebrew (in the header and footer), but the Hebrew flag is not visible.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I visited your site and the HE version of your homepage doesn't seem to be published.

- I looked at the source code and only the hreflang for English is available.
- I tried to access it directly hidden link but it redirects automatically to the English version
- Another page that is available in EN and HE shows both flags: hidden link

Why your HE homepage is not published:
- You didn't translated it.
- Maybe you used the automatic translation and you have the option "Review before publishing". In that case you need to approve the translation else it will remain as draft.
- Maybe you did a manual translation but left it as draft. In that case go to "Pages" and use the language switcher at the top of your admin bar to switch in HE. Then edit the HE homepage and publish it.

Thank you. I added the translation as you suggested, and that fixed the issue on the English homepage.

However, when I switch to the Hebrew homepage, the flags in the header disappear. (I still see the flags in the footer but not the header).

Can you please help me fix this?

Hello,

Now that you started to translate your content in HE, it's time to synchronize your menus. WPML is capable to create your menu items in Hebrew if they have been translated.

We have a documentation offering several options, I recommend the "Easy and Customizable – Use WPML’s WP Menus Sync Feature" option.

Doc: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/

Once your menu is translated it would should the language selector.

If the issue persist, don't hesitate to provide me with a temporary admin access – preferably to a test site where the issue has been replicated – so I can further investigate.

I will activate a private field for your next answer where you can provide that information safely (this field is only visible by you and the support team). Don't share your own admin account, create a new one that you will delete when we finish troubleshooting.

IMPORTANT: Before we proceed, please backup your site and database.
