The language switcher does not appear

BuiltLast updated

The switcher does not appear on its own on every setup. You have to place it, or turn on the floating one.

Checks#

  1. WordPress: add the widget or the block, use the shortcode [resilientlang_switcher], or add it as a menu item.
  2. Script tag: add the switcher component or the floating option next to the loader. See The language switcher.
  3. Published languages: the switcher lists only languages you published. Publish first.
  4. Cache: purge your page cache. A cached page may be older than your change.

Still missing? See The switcher is missing or broken.

Support macro#

Thanks for telling us. The switcher has to be placed: on WordPress as a widget, block, shortcode or menu item, and on other sites with the switcher option next to the loader. It also only lists languages you have published, and a cached page can hide a recent change. Our guide: [link to this help article]. If you tell me your platform and the page address, I can say which of these applies.
