Polylang Base64 flags (data image) do not appear/not generated

    Hello,

    I believe I have identified a bug.

    Steps to reproduce:

    • Install Elementor Header & Footer Builder (EHFB)
    • Install Polylang
    • Edit the Main Menu and add Language switcher widget (with only flag configuration)
    • Open EHFB and add the Main Menu
    • The flag is not generated.

    The flag is a Base64 image, similar to the one below:

    <img src="image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAALCAMAAABBPP0LAAAAt1BMVEW ....... ABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="English" width="16" height="11" style="width: 16px;height: 11px">

    But this Base64 data must be preceded by “data:” like this:

    <img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAALCAMAAABBPP0LAAAAt1BMVEW ....... ABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="English" width="16" height="11" style="width: 16px;height: 11px">

    I suspect that your plugin is removing this information, causing the flags not to display.

  • Hi

    I have just noticed the same problem on a couples of websites. If I disable the plugin, then the flags will appear as expected in the menu.

    Same issue here, I have to change from Flags switcher to dropdown with language names. This error occurred after new update of EHFB was installed.

    Temporary, you can use non-encoded images by adding:
    define( 'PLL_ENCODED_FLAGS', false );
    in your wp-config.php.

    Afterward, it may be necessary to refresh the cache by going to Languages (Polylang menu) > Settings > URL modifications and resave the settings (no need to modify anything).

    But the problem with Base64 flags remains.

    Good morning, I have a problem with the Polylang plugin. Namely, after installing the plugin and inserting it into the website in the menu – displaying only flags, I have img src=”data:image/png;base64…”

    Please help me solve the problem, thank you in advance, Jerry ??

    Hi @jerryzetpeka,

    This is an old thread and the issue had been resolved on v1.6.24. If you are using the latest version of this plugin, you should not have the problem. However, if that is not the case, as per the forum guidelines, please start your own topic. You are welcome to cross-link it to this thread, so we are aware of both.

    Kind regards,
    Herman ??
