Can`t add Translatepress language switcher to the header

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, I am working on local staging site and I have some problems with adding the language switcher of Translatepress to theme. Translatepress has a shortcode for the switcher, floating switcher or menu item. None of the 3 is showing on the site. Am I missing something?

Edit 1: Forgot to mention that the shortcode, menu item or floating language switcher appears with 1 of the standard WordPress themes that come preinstalled with WordPress.

Hi,

A shortcode can be inserted in our theme by using the element called “Column text” or “Text with title” in text zone => https://i.imgur.com/Ps7fcU0.png -> https://www.screencast.com/t/uDXaxJ8JSKFB The shortcode is automatically saved.
We recommend WPML plugin for translations: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/

Thank you!

Thank you dear,
I have added the shortcodes. It showed only the original language link. Is it possible that the theme is not compatible with the plugin?

Hi,

I checked and seems you need to have the settings like this https://i.imgur.com/JQ55k1K.png and also, you can add the switcher in the menu -> https://i.imgur.com/ziSCxpA.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/main-menu/

Thank you!

Yes yes, I have all these checked and none appear. I am adding the switcher to the menu also. I am confused about how it worked on your side. Maybe someone can check?

Hello @abbyrocks!

In order to avoid misunderstandings, please provide more information(screenshots/video) about the settings you applied and what is the issue there.

A solution for sending a screenshot/video is this:
