Polylang Language Switcher Issue

Hi @kopernikus,

Please could you post a link to your site so I can take a look?

Regarding deleting the menu toggle button, that is by design (there will always be a menu toggle block). To hide it you would need to use some custom CSS.

Hi, Tom.

The site is under development, and currently offline, so I’m unable to provide you with the link, but I might be able to clue you into the problem.

The menu item (language switcher) is not getting the additional class (mega-item-align-right) like it would be when the alignment configuration is set to “Right”. Anyhow, I managed to workaround this problem, in a less-preferable way, by hard-coding Polylang switcher PHP file, I simply added ‘item-align-right’ into its classes variable so MMM could complete the necessary classes to get it right, (you see what I did there? :D), except it becomes right permanently. The result is as intended, but not in the way I want it.

Regarding the toggle menu: I accidentally add 1 extra toggles, but I couldn’t remove it, it won’t anywhere no matter how many times I hit ‘Delete’ button. I don’t know if it would stay there forever if I saved the change, so I just refresh the page instead

Hope it helps you help me. Thanks.

Hi @mohamedsh90

I’m still figuring out how is this possibly help me.

But thanks, though.

Hi @kopernikus,

I’ve checked both issues and I’m not seeing the same thing here.

I have a PolyLang language switcher added (displaying languages in a dropdown), set Menu Item Align to right and it’s aligned to the right as it should be. Please go back into the mega menu settings and check Menu Item Align is set to right, and make sure you scroll down and click ‘Save settings’.

It’s the same for the mobile toggle for me here – I added a new menu toggle block (so I had 2). Saved the Theme. Deleted a menu toggle block. Saved the theme. The second mobile toggle block was correctly removed. Did you save the theme after deleting the toggle block?

@mohamedsh90, In future please try to provide support within the same thread that people are asking for help.

Hi, Tom

I forgot to mention that I actually have tried your way before starting this thread: displaying the switcher in a drop-down menu, aligned it to Right, saved it and yes, it actually worked. But the thing is: I don’t want a drop-down menu, I prefer the switcher showing the lang name only while hiding the current, I even have done both versions but only the drop-menu one that moved to the right. It had no problem with another menu item, tho.

Ok, it looks like I have to save it first before I’m able to delete it. Well, it solved, then. But. just curious, tho, have you tried adding several toggles and remove it BEFORE you save it? I don’t know maybe add 2 or 3 more toggles, but do not save it, yet, pretend like, “oops, too much, damn lag! Got to remove it”, then try to remove it. Is it deleted? Because mine doesn’t.

Cheers.

Hi @kopernikus,

Ah, that makes sense. When the languages are displayed as a dropdown, the parent item (the ‘Language Switcher’) remains in the menu structure, and the mega menu classes are applied to it. Otherwise the Language Switcher item is removed, and replaced with the language links. Those new links do not seem to inherit the mega menu settings from the parent item, which has now disappeared. For an edge case like this, it seems reasonable to use Custom CSS to align them to the right.

I will check out the toggle block issue you have mentioned. The blocks are only saved once the theme is saved, so I’m not sure why that would happen, but I will take a look. I’ll report back here if I find a problem.

Regards,
Tom

Hello,

I’m sorry maybe I’m not gonna talk about the main issue in the discussion but still I have Polylang Switcher Issue. In fact, I installed it on wordpress and added the code to the header <ul style=”padding-right:43px; background-color:#00b3b8;”><?php pll_the_languages(array(‘show_flags’=>1,’show_names’=>1)); ?>. It is working normally but not on mobile.

The language switcher is not clickable on Mobile: (www.amrisoulaimane.com/dialtechnologies)

Could you please help?

Many thanks in advance
