Split: the language switcher is not leading to the pages as before

Démarré par: ukuS en: English Support
Une solution rapide est disponible

Problem:
The client needed the Finnish, Latvian, and Lithuanian flags in their WPML language switcher to link to external partner sites instead of internal translations, but the existing jQuery code was not functioning.
Solution:
We recommended adding a custom function to the

1	`functions.php`

file of the client's theme. This function modifies the language switcher to include external links for the specified languages. Here is the code to implement:

function custom_language_switcher_links( $languages ) {  $languages['external_1'] = array(  'url' => 'https://www.changepartners.fi',  'native_name' => 'Suomi',  'translated_name' => 'Finnish',  'country_flag_url' => 'https://cdn.wpml.org/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/flags/fi.svg',  'language_code' => 'fi',  'code' => 'fi' );  $languages['external_2'] = array(  'url' => 'https://www.changepartners.lv/',  'native_name' => 'Latviešu',  'translated_name' => 'Latvian',  'country_flag_url' => 'https://cdn.wpml.org/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/flags/lv.svg',  'language_code' => 'lv',  'code' => 'lv' );  $languages['external_3'] = array(  'url' => 'https://changepartners.lt/',  'native_name' => 'Lietuvių',  'translated_name' => 'Lithuanian',  'country_flag_url' => 'https://cdn.wpml.org/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/flags/lt.svg',  'language_code' => 'lt',  'code' => 'lt' );  return $languages; } add_filter( 'icl_ls_languages', 'custom_language_switcher_links' );
