Hi there,

how is the Polylang language switcher added ? is it using a shortcode ?

[Chetan Patil]

I have created a shortcode. Code is there in functions.php file.

/**
 * Polylang Shortcode - https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/
 * Add this code in your functions.php
 * Put shortcode [polylang_langswitcher] to post/page for display flags
 *
 * @return string
 */
function custom_polylang_langswitcher() {
	$output = '';
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_the_languages' ) ) {
		$args   = [
		'show_flags' => 0,
        'hide_if_empty' => 0,
		'show_names' => 1,
		'echo'       => 0,
			];
		$output = '<ul class="polylang_langswitcher">'.pll_the_languages( $args ). '</ul>';
	}

	return $output;
}

add_shortcode( 'polylang_langswitcher', 'custom_polylang_langswitcher' );

I have created temporary login for you.

Why not use the Widget or Blocks that Polylang provides ?

Hi,

These widgets are for Polylang PRO only. Unfortunately I don’t have PRO version.

Hi there,

As you know this is not theme related, we can’t support code that comes from 3rd party.

I would recommend reaching out to Polylang’s support.

Thanks for your understanding!
