    Hey Author,

    I am using your plugin and added the php code in the header of my current theme it shows but disappears abruptly.

    here is the code:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
	<title><?php wp_title('-', 1, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

	<?php if(opt('favicon') != ""){ ?>
	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php eopt('favicon'); ?>"  />
	<?php } else { ?>
	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo THEME_IMAGES_URI ?>/favicon.png" />
	<?php } ?>
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 1.0" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
	<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="<?php echo THEME_JS_URI ?>/html5shiv.js"></script><![endif]-->
	<!--[if IE 8]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo THEME_CSS_URI ?>/ie8.css" /><![endif]-->

	<!-- Theme Hook -->
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[google-translator]'); ?>
<body>
<?php body_class(); ?>
</body>

	<?php theme_before_header(); ?>

	<?php if( opt('loader_display') == 1 ) { ?>
		<!-- loader -->
		<div class="wrap start_loader"></div>
	<?php } ?>

	<div id="top"></div>

    Hi Rob,

    I am still running it locally..

    Thanks

    Hmmm….not much I can do unless it’s online. Would you be able to install on a test domain? We can tryout the plugin there in a live environment. Then I can see it, and also it might work anyway since it’s in a live setting. Not sure.

    Let me know how you would like to move forward.

    Thanks, Rob

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem. Just doesn’t want to show in the template.

    This might have happened after upgrading to WP3.6.1

    Here is the link: https://seoninja.co.za/dev/thebackpack/

    It’s also embedded using a shortcode (php) in the template file.

    Hi miguelgino, I’m viewing the source of your page by right-clicking on the black header area at top. When I do that, I notice that on line 299 there is an ending </body> tag showing up AT TOP OF THE PAGE, and then the web page continues until the end with another set of <body> tags as I would expect. I’m not sure what is going on here.

    I also see there is some text showing in this area in your header, which is unusual. Would you mind providing me a login for this test domain? I will be able to fix for you quickly at that point.

    Please contact me here: https://www.studio88design.com/get-in-touch/

    Thanks, Rob

    Hi bardin, thanks for your post. As a start, please go to Settings > Google Language Translator, and toggle all of the options there (there will be some hidden options that appear when you toggle them). Then make sure you have a value set for each option, whether you use it or not.

    After that, save your settings and see if the translator appears.

    If it works, then you should be good!

    I’ve found that there seems to be an issue with default options being set, although the plugin seems to work after this happens. I haven’t found the source of the problem yet.

    Also, if you need help, contact me on the page in the previous response, and then provide a login. I will go and take a look and fix it for you.

    Thanks, Rob

    Hi bardin, I just noticed that the #google_language_translator <div> is set to display:none when viewing your page source, which means that one of the settings could be set to hide the language box.

    Please find the setting, “Show translate box?”, and make sure the you have it set to “yes”.

    Then let me know the status at that point.

    Thanks, Rob

    Actually, I see now that you probably meant to hide the translator box, and the flags are still not showing. Sorry, my mistake.

    Hey @rob

    Sent you the Login details on your email,

    Thanks!

    Thanks Rob.

    I managed to “fix” it my side. All I did was align the translator bar to the right (in the plugin options), then saved the settings.

    Did the trick! Appreciate your quick response and help with this.

    Thanks!!

    Thanks, bardin, for the update. I’m not sure what was happening here, but I did have a small period time where the plugin was available without default options being set in the plugin, due to error on my side. Then I simply uploaded the correct file to the server without upgrading the version.

    Either way, I’m hoping that in the future, your new file properly sets all options, in all cases.

    Your posting this was helpful, as I have no real evidence of what the problem has been.

    Thanks!

    Hi miguelgino, your website has a header area with position:fixed assigned to it, which means that it will sit on top of everything else and stay “fixed” there. It is currently covering the translator, so I’m going to move it to a more appropriate area for you.

    Looks like we found a solution!

    Thanks!
