Avada flags reduce space in between

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

Problem:
The client is trying to reduce the space between flags in the dropdown menu of the language switcher.

Solution:
If you're experiencing excessive space between flags in your language switcher's dropdown menu, we recommend trying the following CSS code. Navigate to Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS and add:

.wpml-ls-menu-item ul.sub-menu a {padding-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important;}

This code should remove the padding from the top and bottom of the flags, bringing them closer together. For more information on how to use CSS and the padding property, you can visit https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_padding.asp.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, 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.

They are currently spaced even due to the styling of the theme or any custom code that was added on the site - practically, the space between the two flags is the same space that exists between the other buttons in the menu. To overwrite that behavior, please go to Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS > Add the following code and save: .wpml-ls-current-language { margin-right: 0px !important; } That should work and you can check the two screenshots below so that you can see how they look at the moment and how will our code make them look. I hope that you will find this information helpful. 🙂 Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi Annika. Sorry, but I do not see any flags. I see only what you see in my screenshot and a full image background. Also, initially, this URL was shared in this ticket: hidden link I did not know that we are talking about a totally different URL (hidden link).

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	No worries, Annika. You can then use something like this: .wpml-ls-menu-item ul.sub-menu a {padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;} That should remove the padding from the top and bottom and should bring them closer together. You can learn more about how to use CSS and the padding property here: hidden link Mihai
