# GTranslate widget not rendering

 * The GTranslate floating widget does not appear anywhere on the site,
   despite 
   being correctly configured (Widget look: Float, floatinglanguage selector: Bottom
   Right, multiple languages selected includingHindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, etc.).
 * WHAT WE’VE CONFIRMED (via browser DevTools inspection on the live site):
    - The widget’s wrapper div IS present in the page HTML:
    - However, this div renders with 0 height and appears to have no child
      content
      inside it (collapsed/empty in the DOM tree).
    - No CSS is hiding it (checked Computed styles — no display:none or
      visibility:
      hidden found).
    - This suggests the widget’s JavaScript never populates the div with
      the actual
      flag/dropdown content.
 * SUSPECTED CAUSE:
   We use LiteSpeed Cache with “Load JS Deferred” enabled (set 
   to“Deferred” mode) for site speed optimization. We suspect GTranslate’sscript
   is being deferred and never executes in time to populate thewidget.
 * QUESTION:
   Is there a documented way to exclude GTranslate’s script specificallyfrom
   JS deferral in LiteSpeed Cache, without disabling JS Deferredsite-wide (which
   would hurt our page speed scores)? If so, what is theexact script filename/handle
   we should add to LiteSpeed’s exclude list?
 * Our main use case is Hindi translation for a Hindi-speaking audience
   on specific
   landing pages — we don’t need full multi-language SEO,just a working, reliable
   widget for one or two priority pages.

 * Hi,
 * If disabling the cache plugin doesn’t solve the issue, make sure your theme calls`
   wp_footer()` function.
 * Thanks! 🙂
