Own flag doesn’t change

    Hello
    I need to put bigger flags.
    So I followed the method described on the page https://polylang.pro/doc/the-language-switcher/ in point 4.2.

    1 / I created 2 flags in size 50×30 px in png format (en_GB.png and fr_FR.png) I also tried to name them (en.png and fr.png)

    2 / in / wp-content / plugin / polylang / I created a folder “myflags” in which I placed my 2 custom flags
    I also try to put this folder at the root of wp-content in a folder I created which is called “polylang” (to have exactly like you when you write: “Then upload this file in the / wp-content / polylang / directory”).

    3 / I went to my WordPress dashboard:
    Settings > Languages > Settings tab > URL modifications module and I clicked on “Save changes”

    Custom flags are not displayed on the front office.
    I always have the old flags.

    I emptied the cache of my wordpress, emptied the wpengine cache, nothing changes, I always have the old flags.

    What’s wrong?
    Has the procedure changed?

    The solution ist: follow the description!

    It is possible to use your own images as flags. You have to use PNG or JPG files and name them with the WordPress locale. For example, <strong>en_GB.png</strong>. Then upload this file in the <strong>/wp-content/polylang/</strong> directory (create the directory if it does not exist). Don’t use the /polylang/flags/ directory as your file would be removed when automatically updating the plugin.

Once the custom flag is uploaded, go in Settings > Languages > Settings tab > URL modifications module then click on <strong>save changes</strong>. Note that your custom flags are not used on admin side.

    USe the right folder and use the right file name.
