Problem: The client is trying to display the WPML language switcher on their website using the Porto theme. It appears correctly on mobile devices but not on the PC view. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend disabling the Porto language switcher in the theme options. You can find instructions on how to do this here: Porto Theme Options. To use the WPML official language switcher, you should add it to your header PHP code via shortcode. This can be done using the Elementor option within Porto to build the header and then adding the WPML shortcode. For detailed guidance on adding language switchers using PHP and shortcodes, please visit: Adding Language Switchers Using PHP and Shortcodes. Additionally, you may consult Porto theme support for specific instructions on where to add this shortcode in the header.php file.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at WPML Known Issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.
