[Resolved] The main page doesnt show a siwtcher for all languages
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the language switcher not displaying correctly on the main page after resetting the templates. The switcher appears, but there are unwanted styles such as colors and frames. Solution: If you're facing similar issues with the appearance of your language switcher, it might be due to your current theme applying specific styles to the dropdown. We recommend temporarily switching to a default theme to verify if the issue persists. This step helps isolate whether the problem is with the theme's styling. For detailed guidance on resolving styling and CSS issues with language switchers, please visit the following links:
This color issue was part of the theme's dropdown, so it was resolved by editing the menu template, navigating to the style settings, and changing the color to white for the Submenu panel style.
Remember to backup your database before making any changes.

Background of the issue:
I reset all the templates for the switcher and still, there is some colors and frame. See attached the print screen. I need to fix it.
Symptoms:
The main page doesn't show a switcher for all languages.
Questions:
How can I fix the language switcher on the main page?
Why is the language switcher not displaying correctly after resetting the templates?
It seems like the language switcher is visible on the main page.
If the issue is with the appearance of the language switcher, your current theme may be styling the dropdown. To check this, you can temporarily switch to any default theme.
Hi, the issue is still on. I changed the template to different template, nothing happened.
I enabled the custom template. Nothing happened.
Any action I have don't change the template what is it now shown.
I told you, I am not familiar with the CSS. I can give you the access to the page and you would fix it please?
Thank you
I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
Can you send me the form where I put the access info?
May I add some task to this ticket or should I start a new one ? When you will be in you might look at one issue - why I see grid of translated main page differently on dashboard than on published main pages. it has changed after translation. I am not able to repair it (try to change default main page and then advanced translate other site - didn't work out).
thanks

I have removed the access credentials as you did not put them in the private field.
I looked at the language switcher problem. The frame's color is part of your theme's dropdown, so I had to edit the menu template, go to the styles settings, and change the color to white for the Submenu panel style. It was #F6BDB9, in case you needed it. I'm attaching screenshots.
