Problem: The client is trying to display the language switcher in the top navigation menu of their website using Divi 4 and DonDivi's DiviMenus Flex. The language switcher is set as the third menu item with a link type of 'Sub', sourcing from a WP Menu labeled 'Language Switcher'. However, the menu does not display any languages and only shows an option to 'Customize the language switcher'. Additionally, in the backend, the language switcher menu item displays all pages, which the client wishes to hide while editing.
Solution: To address the visibility of languages in the frontend, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML → Languages → Hide languages and select the languages you wish to hide from visitors. 2. Go to Users → Profile and enable 'Display hidden languages' for your user account. This setting will hide the selected languages from visitors but will allow you to see them in the backend, facilitating your workflow without affecting the frontend display.
Regarding the issue in the Visual Builder where all pages are displayed instead of the language switcher: 1. Ensure that the 'WPML Switcher Only' menu is created in Appearance → Menus. 2. Place this menu in the desired section using the Visual Builder. 3. Check if the menu contains any items. If not, WordPress might display a list of pages as a fallback, which explains the behavior observed.
