PROBLEM WITH DROPDOWN MENU IN A BILINGUAL SITE

This is an issue for WPML and you should raise it with them – I don’t have WPML so I can’t help with this problem, sorry.

Hi,
I contacted the Wpml support and this is their answer:

“This appears to be a compatibility issue. Inside the file wp-content/plugins/sub-categories-widget/sub-categories-widget.php at line 94, replacing this line:

if (dropdown'.$this->number.'.options[dropdown'.$this->number.'.selectedIndex].value > 0) { location.href = “'.get_option('home').'?cat=”+dropdown'.

to

if (dropdown'.$this->number.'.options[dropdown'.$this->number.'.selectedIndex].value > 0) { location.href = “'.get_home_url().'?cat=”+dropdown'.

Since this looks like just a function problem (get_option(‘home’) to get_home_url()) you would need the author of the modified plugin on his side.

You can suggest the above change or request that he contact our compatibility team using the link: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/
”

Can you modify the plugin as they say?ù

I await your kind reply
Thanks for collaboration

You should make this change yourself on your own install (you can easily edit the file in the WordPress Admin interface) and test that it actually resolves your issue. I have no way to test this myself and do not wish to make a change without knowing that it fixes your issue.

Please let me know if it does and I will then see if I can make this change without impacting other users. If I can then I will try to implement it in the next release.

I made the change as indicated and now everything works

here is line 94 modified in pho
if (dropdown’.$this->number.’.options[dropdown’.$this->number.’.selectedIndex].value > 0) { location.href = “‘.get_home_url().’?cat=”+dropdown’.$this->number.’.options[dropdown’.$this->number.’.selectedIndex].value; }

Bye
Tatiana
