Translations vlags are not showing.

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

Problem:
The client is unable to display translation flags on their website despite deactivating all plugins except WPML and using the standard WordPress theme. The issue persists even after removing all custom CSS.
Solution:
We discovered that the footer language switcher is actually present but hidden. We recommend checking the settings in the custom CSS section of your theme, which can be accessed here: Theme Custom CSS settings.
For the main menu, ensure that the locations are correctly set to display the mega menu where the language switcher should appear.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.

Rene	Background of the issue: I am trying to display translation flags on my website. We tried turning off all plugins and only activated WPML with the standard WordPress theme, but the flags did not show. We also tried deleting all custom CSS on the website, but it was not working. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: The translation flags are not showing on the website. I expected to see the translation flags, but none of the flags appeared. Questions: Why are the translation flags not showing? What steps can I take to resolve this issue?

Rene	Hi, I have tested it with only wpml and wordpress theme on a staging environment and the flags were still not showing. I can make another staging webiste and give you the creds. I also added a duplicator file is you want to create your own staging. What would be best?
