Cant place the Multisite Language Switch flags at the site's top right corner.

    I want to add the Multisite Language Switcher flag icons on the top right side of the header in my site.

    My Site is: https://3dtours.gr

    The step I have made so far is:

    Adding successfully at my functions.php the code : 

    // Create a widget region for the
// Multilingual Press lang switcher
///////////////////////////////////////
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Language Switcher',
		'id' => 'language-switcher',
		'before_widget' => '<div>',
		'after_widget' => '</div>'
	));
}

    Now I have a Widget devoted for the Multilingual Press lang switcher but when I try to add the :

    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Language Switcher') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    in Header.php the language flags are not correctly placed at the top right corner of the site.

    If you could give me any advise to solve this problem I would be grateful!!!

  • You just need some CSS to position those better. But one problem here is that you’ve modified theme files – and those changes will be lost when the theme is updated. A better way to do this would be to use a child theme – see other threads on this forum as to how to do that in this theme.

    Or just be sure that you don’t update without a verified backup and the ability to reinstate your changes.

    That said, try adding this to your CSS:

    #arphabet {
     float: right;
     margin-top: 20px;
}

#arphabet img {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 5px;
}

    You are my savour !!!

    Thank you.
    Thank you.
    Thank you.
    Thank you.

    I would keep in mind the update issues !
    I already use a child theme for my (not finished) English site https://3dtours.gr/en

    Are these theme updates so crucial ?

    However.
    Thank you again for your great and fast reply !

    LOL – glad to help :)! Next time, you could ask sooner – really.

    Theme updates are important if there are security or compatibility issues – but you can generally do those manually if you have to and you’re willing to get your feet into the code.

    I See, i would keep this theme version for now. The pilot fish update feautures from 0.3.2 to 0.3.4 are great but don’t worth the risk/trouble for me.

    Thank you again for your kind reply !!
    Have a nice week !!
