* Hi
* First of all, thanks for this great plugin. I’m using it with my en/es website
and it’s working perfectly, but there’s a thing I’d like to change. Right now
the flags are showing in the header of my website (cause I added the function
you said in the [wiki ](https://github.com/lloc/Multisite-Language-Switcher/wiki/Generate-the-output)
in the header.php of my theme) but I would like it to appear in my navigation
menu instead. I saw the “Manipulate the Navigation Menu” part in the same wiki
but I still don’t understand where I would have to add this code.
* I know this could be a super dumb question, but I’m new at this.
Thanks in advance.
* Lissy

* No problem. You can insert the code in your functions.php of your theme.

* Hi, I am also trying to put the switcher in the menu. I copied the code “as is”(
except that I changed the menu name) in the functions.php file of my theme but
absolutely nothing happens. Did I need to change, add, remove anything from the
code? (I don’t know PHP so can hardly figure it out just with the instructions
given). Is there something I can do to check why it’s not “acting on” the function?
* I am pretty sure that the plugins’s settings are all ok since the widget works
if I activate it. Thank you!

* This is the solution if you want the switcher integrated in your WordPress menu.
But there are other ways to create a similar output. Can you give me an example?
Is there already a site where I can see something?

* Thank you for your quick reply.
* This is the site I am trying to put the language switcher on : [http://www.prestigeexperts.com/fr/](http://www.prestigeexperts.com/fr/).
I have searched in the source code to see if anything was there but was not showing
in the page, but there is nothing. I am using a bought theme, maybe there is
something conflicting?
* I have activated the widget feature in the footer so you can see that this part
is working properly.
* Ideally I would like to have the description link (no flag) in the secondary
menu on the left (beside “Accueil | Contact”).

* The name of the menu seems to be “top_menu”, isn’t it?

* Yes, it seems like it… I have tried “top” and “top_menu” instead of “primary”
in the code, but it doesn’t make it work. It is currently set as “top_menu”.

* Could you check in your functions.php if the id of the menu is really top_menu?
There must be at least one call to the function wp_nav_menu.

* Haa! thank you so much 🙂 Turns out the only call to wp_nav_menu was in the header.
php. I was able to see there that the menu id was really top_menu, but it’s “
theme location” was top-menu… Thank you again!!

* Hi,
* I’d like to place the flags into the menu on my site too.
* I’ve copied the code from [here](https://github.com/lloc/Multisite-Language-Switcher/wiki/Generate-the-output)
into my functions.php file but nothing happens.
* I’m running twentytwelve here – [Photoed](http://www.photoed.co.uk).
* Can you help at all please?

* I use Twenty Twelve on my [test-installation](http://test.lloc.de/). Could you
please check if your menu-function is similar to my [function my_custom_menu_item](https://github.com/lloc/My-Test-Env/blob/master/MyTestEnv.php).

* Hi,
* Thanks for the swift reply.
* The menu function in my functions.php is
* ```
// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'twentytwelve' ) );
```
* Apologies if this is not the correct information. I am not particularly knowledgeable
about code.

* OK, so you could insert this code in your functions.php (I hope you are using
a [Child Theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-change-the-output/codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes?output_format=md)):
* ```
function my_custom_menu_item( $items, $args ) {
if (
class_exists( 'MslsOutput' ) &&
'primary' == $args->theme_location
) {
$obj = new MslsOutput;
$arr = $obj->get( 2 );
if ( !empty( $arr ) ) {
$items .= '' . implode( '', $arr ) . '';
}
}
return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_custom_menu_item', 10, 2 );
```
* Cheers!

* I have copied that code into the functions.php of my (newly created, thanks)
child theme but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the menu.
* I have the plugin working perfectly from the sidebar widget so I know it’s not
a fault with the plugin generally.
* I would like for it to show in the menu too since I prefer not to have the sidebar
activated on the front page.
* Thanks again for your assistance.

* In fact, don’t worry.
* I will change my site to have the sidebar on the front page too.
* It would be the simplest solution I think.
