Background of the issue:
I bought a Revolution Slider template and am using the Menu module. I added the shortcode: {{wpml_language_switcher}}, but it doesn't work and just shows the shortcode.

Symptoms:
The WPML language switcher shortcode is displayed as text instead of functioning.

Questions:
Why does the WPML language switcher shortcode display as text?
How can I make the WPML language switcher work with the Revolution Slider template?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- I recommend trying this shortcode instead: [wpml_language_switcher] and double-check if the issue disappeared.

2.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

Regards,
Carlos

1. Now I see menus and seems like working (then adding translation, I see that flag appears), but can´t click on it (nothing happens) How to make it work?

2. Increased WP memory limit, it is okay now

Thank you for your feedback.

It is not possible to click the translation links because there is a layer added above in the HTML. You must contact the Slider Revolution support service and ask them how to remove this layer with ID SR7_12_1-41-16 so the language switcher elements can be clicked.
