How do i put the google translate flags from this page http://www.nerdproductions.dk/tangent-element-tk up in the menu or in the topbar next to the social icons?

my site is http://www.nerdproductions.dk/

i use the Google Language Translator plugin. and have used a shortcode to input the flags.

i have tried to mess around the the php but can not get it to work

thanks in advance 🙂

Thanks for writing in!

At first, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Now, open the functions.php file of your child theme. Then add the following codes into it:

add_filter('theme_x_topbar_content','x_topbar_do_shortcode');

function x_topbar_do_shortcode($content) {
 return do_shortcode( $content );
}

Then go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Enable Topbar content & add the shortcode of Translate plugin there.

Hope these helps, Cheers!

thanks for your reply!

I have done as you told me, but it seems that the shortcode still isnt working. Do you have any suggestions? link: http://www.nerdproductions.dk/

my functions.php in the child theme now looks like this:

<?php
// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// —————————————————————————–
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

add_filter(‘theme_x_topbar_content’,’x_topbar_do_shortcode’);

function x_topbar_do_shortcode($content) {
return do_shortcode( $content );
}
?>

You’re using slight old version of X theme, At first please update your theme to latest version 2.4.0 by following this KB article: Updating Your Theme and Plugins.

Sorry about that.

Can you try the steps below instead.

1. Create the file /wp-content/themes/x-child-integrity-light/framework/views/global/_topbar.php

2. Paste the code below in /wp-content/themes/x-child-integrity-light/framework/views/global/_topbar.php

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_TOPBAR.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Includes topbar output.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_topbar_display', 0 ) == 1 ) : ?>

  <div class="x-topbar">
    <div class="x-topbar-inner x-container-fluid max width">
      <?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_topbar_content' ) != '' ) : ?>
      <p class="p-info"><?php echo x_get_option( 'x_topbar_content' ); ?></p>
      <?php endif; ?>                                       
      <?php x_social_global(); ?>                              
      <div class="gtranslate" style="float:right;"><?php echo do_shortcode('[google-translator]'); ?></div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php endif; ?>

3. You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.gtranslate div {
    display:inline-block;
}

Thanks

thanks alot – very great support youve got going here 🙂

Can’t check your site,

1. The admin login has no permission to check and edit theme files.
2. FTP isn’t working.

Thanks.
