Background of the issue:
I want a dropdown language switcher option in my header menu where the words are shown in black, the background is transparent and when I hover over the words are shown in blue. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
No matter how I change the language switcher settings in WPML > Language > Menu Language Switcher, on the online website the words of the nonselected options are always white, the background is transparent, and with hovering, it switches to light grey.

Questions:
Why are the language switcher settings not reflecting on the online website?
How can I ensure the language switcher displays correctly with the desired colors?

Hello,

Please apologize for the delay.

I created a fresh WP install with WPML installed and configured. Can you please set up the language switcher the same way you did on your site?

This will allow us to reproduce the issue from scratch and isolate it for proper debugging. And also discard compatibility problems.

You can access the dashboard of the site by following this link:

Let me know once it's done and I'll follow up from there.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Otto
