Language selector (issue or normal ?)

  • Hi everyone, i currently use polylang very well but have a small concern :

    https://vintagebuddies.com/fr/

    Like you see on my menu there is the language selector, my concern is about the fact that is not a dropdown menu. Indeed after few languages will be added, it will take all the menu, not really efficient.

    It is a bug on my site, or the design of ir ?

    Also if it is normal, i would like to know the way of changing it to dropdown.

    Cheers ??

    Use the pll_the_languages to display it in your menu.

    Well i’m not sure how to use what you give me. i can set my arguments to what i whant right.

    But where to put the code ?

    Cheers.

    edit: basicly what i whant is a dropdown that display the langage you currently reading, and when mouse over, open thedropdown to see other availables languages.

    You can use in Menu the “Custom Links” metabox and put in sub-item the “Language switcher” metabox. It’s not a real dropdown but the effect is pretty nice.

    Pretty nice, almost what i whant ! too bad it does not hide the language that we are currently on.

    Any idea to how add the flags to this dropdown or it is impossible ?

    Check “Hides the current language” in the Language switcher metabox.

    I see what you want but I can’t help more, it’s pretty complex.

    Lest say for example i trow this somewhere in the code :

    <?php pll_the_languages(array('dropdown'=>1',show_flags'=>1,'show_names'=>1,'hide_current'=>1)); ?>
    Does it will work ? and for getting that into the menu i guess i will have to do some css too ?

    Cheers.

    You won’t achieve that with pll_the_languages in your menu. See with your theme author if he can customize your language switcher or with a developer.

    Ok thanks for the insight, the dev told me he cant support this plugin because it doesnt support taxomony.

    It is right ?

    Regards.
