Problem:
The client was unable to see the language switcher options on their live site, although they were visible when logged into the CMS. The issue was identified as custom CSS hiding the language switcher.
Solution:
1. We confirmed that the hiding of the language switcher was due to custom CSS, which is not added by WPML by default. We suggested checking the site to identify where this CSS is coming from and remove it.
2. We recommended increasing the WP Memory Limit to at least 128MB for WPML to function properly, as the current setting was only 40MB. This involves adding the following lines to the wp-config.php file:

Place it before the line:

3. We advised updating to the latest version of WPML (4.7.3) to ensure compatibility and functionality.
4. If the problem persists, we suggested providing temporary access to the site for further investigation and possibly needing permission to deactivate/reactivate plugins and themes for troubleshooting.
