Thank you for your very quick reply and for admitting the mistake, Karina.
I updated my review from 1 to 4 stars. ??

Hello @wpr0ck

thank you for your reply.

1) Just to be sure that I get that right as I can’t believe it to be true:
The price of a Weglot subscription depends on the total number of words on my website, even if one would do all the translations by oneself?
Like I have a blog with 10 blog posts in German & English, 1000 words each, plus a few words on the about me page, (let’s say altogether 10,100 words), all translated by myself, than I’d have to pay 190€ per year (> 10,000 words, < 50,000 words) although I didn’t use any translations?

2) I understand about the settings and it’s exactly what I did.
But these settings only change the appearance of the language selection with the shortcode, not in the nav bar. In the nav bar it’s always text only.

Local Bitnami installation.
Wordpress & theme “Thrive Theme Builder” & page builder “Thrive Architect” are all up to date.

So just for the fun of it I switched to GeneratePress Theme (although I have premium I deactivated the plugin “GeneratePress Premium” and used just the naked theme) and deactivated ALL plugins.
The language switch in the nav bar is now flag AND text, although I deactivated all options except for “show flag”. The shortcode and the widget show dopdown menus (which I deactivated as previously stated), flags and language name text (which I deactivated as previously stated).

As everything is up to date on my installation and all plugins are deactivated and this is a pretty fresh WP installation, that looks a lot like Weglot compatibility problems with two of the most popular and well-programmed themes (both of which are known to be strict by the official WP rules).

As much as I want to like Weglot for it’s ease of use, if you don’t have any other suggestions what might be the problem (Bitnami?) sadly I have to buy Polylang or WPML. Hoping for your answer!

*Patsch an die Stirn*
Recht hast du, das sollte mit the Thrive-Themes-Baukasten kein problem sein.
Ich war nur von meinem bisherigen Cookie-Plugin gewohnt, das die Box erscheint.
Nach so vielen Stunden vor’m DSGVO-verseuchten Bildschirm sehe ich den Wald vor lauter B?umen nicht mehr. 8-P
Danke für den schnellen hilfreichen Hinweis!

PS
In der Auswahl auf eurer Website ist die Zustimmung zu Google Analytics und Facebook Pixel vorselektiert.
Das ist meines Wissens (zwei Seminare über DSGVO besucht) explizit verboten. Oder verstehe ich da etwas falsch?

After deleting polylang manually via FTP (delete the folder wp-content > plugins > polylang and the folder wp-content > languages) and re-installing it everything works fine.

Have fun with this nice plugin!

Hi aerin,

I’m just about to hit the road again, so here very quickly:
My website is andisaitenhieb.de and my email andi@ and then my domain.

CU,
Andi

Hi aerin,

I really love your dedication! ??

I tried the new one version: German WP, created event, published, date jumps back.
BUT: Then I changed the word Okt manually to Oct in the date picker and then it worked and it auto-corrected to the German ‘Okt’ even in the datepicker field!
I remember after manual correction to the English Oct it was correct on the front end (showing the German ‘Okt’), but I’m not sure about the datepicker in the backend. I think that this is now corrected is new. So maybe you are getting closer.

Hope this helps,
Andi

PS Sorry my answers take several hours, today I had a 7 hour ride in the car to my gig (35 degrees Celsius outside, no air-conditioning, oh boy … ??
Tomorrow I’m on the road also. I’ll gladly test any new tweaks, just give me some time to get an internet connection.

Hi aerin,

over the weekend I’m on tour giving Blues guitar workshops and concerts, so I did just a very quick test on a not needed website:
Uploaded the new plugin file, activated it, changed the WordPress language to German, created an event, changed the date, published the event: The date jumped back to today. Not working. ??

Best,
Andi

Hi aerin,
thanks for your quick response!

I used the datepicker and as it didn’t work I tried to enter the date manually (with the same result: the date jumps back).

My WordPress-installation is in German.
I double-checked and that was really the problem.

Here are two ways to make it work:

1. Changing WordPress to English, changing the date, saving the event and changing WordPress back to German (even before publishing, I just saved the event as draft, changed back the language to German and then published the event).
2. Leaving WordPress in German, using the datepicker, but changing the date manually to English: When picking a date on a German WordPress installation the date goes to say 31 Okt. I changed the k to c (31 Oct as it would be in English) and published / safed as draft and it works perfectly also.

Topic marked as solved.
5 star plugin (I already rated it before), now I know:
Also 5 star support!

Thank you once again for your help and also for being part of the WordPress community and creating such a great plugin for free,
Andi

I had a request posted on the forum and got an answer in less than 90 minutes. My problem was solved with that answer. 5 star plugin and 5 star support. And nope, I posted on the free users forum, I don’t have their premium theme version. I offered a tip for their help and great plugins, but they refused. Now how cool is that?

No Problem. Now it works perfectly.
Life (or CSS) can be so simple, if someone knows what he is doing… ??

Thanks a lot for your help,
Andi

I fooled around a little more adding max-width / max-height and width / height, but there is still this strange big red border when hovering over the flag…

Hi sacredpath,

many thanks for your help and the useful links!

I will read about child themes very soon. (I’m a WP newbie. Right now I’m just trying out different plugins, customizing code etc. When I know what plugins I need and what not and what I can do with the code, I will start with a fresh WP installation including child theme).

The link underline deletion worked like a charm!

Also the flags are bigger now. But the small ones are still visible above them. BTW: I made them big in the first place, but there seems to be some code in the nav bar that overwrites this and makes them small. (On the German flag I deleted the following code to see what happens, but this makes things even worse:
display: block;
width: 50px;
I leave it for now so you can see what happens.)

The widgetizing seems to be a little bit of learning, so I have to postpone this to next week.

If you have any idea about the Little flags still appearing, that would be much appreciated. ??

Thanks again,
Andi

One last question, a minor thing and maybe a tough one to solve?
– There is a parent link in my navi (“mehr…”) that let’s you reach some child pages. This parent page is empty and should stay empty. I have seen on another website that they had a parent nav item that was not linking anywhere but instead just opening the child navigation links. Any idea how I could change that?

That’s a lot of questions and I hope they are not too stupid.
But even if this is the first website I build myself I have a clear vision of how it should work and look like. (As a professional Blues musician, guitar teacher and author I feel that my website should meet the quality of my music and my teaching ??
If I can give something back for your help (like a donation or a free guitar lesson via skype) I’d be more than happy to do so! I strongly believe in reciprocal treatment (yepp, I looked that one up in my English dictionary…)

Thanks once more,
Andi
