Miguel Vieira	Background of the issue: I'm trying to create a custom currency switcher for my site under development using the WPML plugin. I've followed the documentation to create a custom currency switcher by creating a folder within my theme directory and adding the necessary files as outlined. I'm using the Twenty Twenty-Five theme. I added the currency_switcher shortcode with the switcher_style attribute and also tried using the wcml_currency_switcher action with a custom shortcode. Symptoms: The custom currency switcher is not appearing at all on my site. Questions: Why is the custom currency switcher not appearing on my site?

I’m here to help you out with this issue. Can you please go to WooCommerce->WooCommerce Multilingual->Multicurrency settings and send me a screenshot? Also, try using the default currency switcher widgets and see if that works for you. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks

Miguel Vieira	Hello! The default shortcode works, but since I want to customize it, I created my own, but I must be doing something wrong.

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Instead of uploads folder, can you move the files to the theme folder once and see if it helps? Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Miguel Vieira	Hello! I’ve moved the files and updated the switcher_style prop, but it didn't work. I had already tried this approach as well before requesting assistance.

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	I changed the code in theme functions.php to the following and it's working for me 'switcher_style' => 'twenty-twenty-five-flowt-currency-switcher' let me know if this helps. Thanks
