Hello, Thank you for your patience while waited for a reply. In order to place a custom switcher in your theme files and customize it, please, proceed this way: IMPORTANT: Please, note, a backup is required for security reasons and to avoid any data loss, you can use the https://wordpress.org/plugins/backupwordpress/ plugin for these backup needs. 1 - Click to edit your child theme files (in my test I placed it for the footer.php file) and place the custom code below: <div class="my-custom-switcher"> <?php do_action('wcml_currency_switcher', array( 'format' => '%code%', 'switcher_style' => 'wcml-vertical-list' )); ?> </div> Note: You can choose what to show in your currency switcher, in this example, I am displaying just the currency code, you are free to customize it according these instructions: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#adjusting-the-output-of-the-switcher You can learn the full details regarding this approach at: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#currency-switcher-as-php-code 2 - Go to your WordPress Dashboard > WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Multi-currency and place the custom CSS code below to the 'Additional CSS' field. /*Removing some default CSS from our language switcher*/ .my-custom-switcher .wcml_currency_switcher, .my-custom-switcher .wcml_currency_switcher li { margin: 0!important; } .my-custom-switcher .wcml_currency_switcher a { background-color: transparent !important; color: white; } .my-custom-switcher .wcml_currency_switcher a { padding: 5px; } /*Customize this if you want*/ .my-custom-switcher .wcml_currency_switcher { position: fixed!important; bottom: 10px; right: 10px; background: #cd2653; /*background color*/ padding: 0px; /*padding of container*/ border-radius: 3px; /*rounded border*/ /*Box Shadow*/ box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); } Please, see the results in the attached screenshot. Hope it helps, have a nice day. |

So this means i have to remove the previous twig template made, and just use this in footer.php or i can also use it in functions.php? |

I have tried to addapt a bit the code for functions.php like this: //WCML - Add a floating currency switcher to the footer add_action('wp_footer', 'wcml_floating_currency_switcher'); function wpml_floating_currency_switcher() { echo '<div class="my-custom-switcher">'; do_action('wcml_currency_switcher', array( 'format' => '%code%', 'switcher_style' => 'wcml-vertical-list' )); echo '</div>'; } And also added the code you mentioned in place, still not working, the footer.php is a no go in my case so this does not work in my setup. |

I have managed to get it working, up to the point that some elements on site override the currency switcher, any idea why is happening? check mobile view of site. |
