[Plugin: Polylang] multilingual menus

It’s hard to help with non free themes.

Can you access the languages -> menus panel ? If yes, it is possible that your theme hardcodes its menu name (in that case, Polylang will not switch menus). To check that, look in your code for “wp_nav_menu”. For Polylang to work, the theme_location must be defined but not the menu.

Something like:

wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

is OK

Something like:

wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Project Nav' ));

is not OK

Chouby, words can’t express my gratitude, you are awesome! Your plugin is excellent and this single answer along https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Navigation_Menus helped me to configure a bought theme! (the menu name was hardcoded). You are so kind and patient, something not usual nowadays.

Best regards, and thank you!

Thank you very much for this positive feedback ??

I’m using Polylang with The Proton theme, and I suffered problems to set multingual menus becouse, as @chouby had suggested in some previous support answers, The Proton is a hardcoded theme and there is not a generic solution for my problem.

I solved my problem in this way:

in header.php changed this:

wp_nav_menu( array(‘container’ => ‘nav’, ‘container_class’ => ‘jqueryslidemenu’, ‘container_id’ => ‘menu’, ‘walker’ => new description_walker() ));

for this:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array(‘container’ => ‘nav’, ‘container_class’ => ‘jqueryslidemenu’, ‘container_id’ => ‘menu’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘walker’ => new description_walker() )); ?>

I’m new in php and wordpress, and I don’t know exactly what this change means or does, I’ve been trying and works for me. Perhaps can help someone.

fins aviat!
