Problem: The client is experiencing a redirect issue where the English homepage of their WordPress site redirects to the Dutch homepage despite having checked various settings and configurations, including disabling all redirect plugins and finding nothing unusual in the .htaccess file. Solution: We recommended the client to check if the Browser Language Redirection feature in WPML is disabled. This can be done by navigating to WPML->Languages in the WordPress dashboard. Additionally, we suggested testing the site in an incognito window to rule out issues related to browser caching or cookies.

Problem: The client is unable to see the language switcher in the top navigation menu on their website. It appears that the language switcher is present as a list-item in the HTML but is not visible on the desktop version, although it is visible on mobile. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking the following: 1. The visibility issue might be due to the 'desktop-link-hide' class that is applied to the language switcher. This class is not added by WPML but might be coming from the Porto theme. You should check your theme's header settings where the language switcher was added to see if there's an option controlling its visibility on desktop. 2. If you cannot find such a setting, consider adding the following CSS to your theme's custom CSS section to override the visibility settings:
This CSS will make the language switcher visible on desktop by overriding any theme-specific settings that might be hiding it.
