Wrong menu displayed when adding custom css

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

Problem:
Whenever I add custom css code to WPML->languages->language switcher there will be a mixup in the menu that is displayed

Solution:
- Go to "WPML > WP Menus Sync"
- Click on "Sync"
- Select on elements and click "Apply changes"
- If you have some custom links you will have a link at the bottom of the page that will redirects you to "String Translation" to translate them

janH-80	Hello Whenever I add custom css code to WPML->languages->language switcher there will be a mixup in the menu that is displayed. Event if I add a empty css tag to the custom field. The menu affected is the menu with the id 22. As soon as I add mentioned css code this menu is "lost" and instead a menu with all the pages is displayed. Thank you for having a look. Kind regards, Jan

janH-80	To further clarify: The site where it happens is: hidden link This is how the menu is displayed correctly: hidden link This is the menu that is displayed after adding any (random) CSS code: hidden link Thanks, Jan

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. Let's start by meeting WPML's minimum requirements. I've noticed your website has a low PHP memory allocation (40M). The minimum requirement for WPML is 128M but we recommend 256M: - Access your server via FTP and open wp-config.php (in your WordPress root directory). - Insert those lines just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. / / Memory Limit */ define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); More info: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ --- Once the memory is increased, please try our option that synchronize menus between language. For this follow the third option on this page: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#option-3-automatic-menus-sync-by-wpml In short: - Go to "WPML > WP Menus Sync" - Click on "Sync" - Select on elements and click "Apply changes" - If you have some custom links you will have a link at the bottom of the page that will redirects you to "String Translation" to translate them
