Title: Theme menu layout broken by Polylang Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Theme menu layout broken by Polylang * Resolved [AzMandius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azmandius/) * (@azmandius) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-menu-layout-broken-by-polylang/) * Hello, I am using the MediCure theme ([http://medicure.cmsmasters.net/](http://medicure.cmsmasters.net/)). * I have installed and activated the Polylang plugin and all sub-menu items in the main menu are completely messed: [http://azvebdev4.tk](http://azvebdev4.tk) * As soon as i disable the plugin menu goes OK. * I have contacted theme authors, but they told me they can’t help me, because they can’t ensure theme compatibility with every plugin. * Would you be so kind to take a look at my issue? If needed i could provide login data. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Support [Chrystl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrystl/) * (@chrystl) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-menu-layout-broken-by-polylang/#post-5857422) * Hello, * Could you try with a default theme like Twenty Fifteen + only Polylang activate.

I have tried all template sidebars, and the widget shows only in traditional sidebar, while top, middle and bottom sidebars don’t display it. * Again i contacted theme authors to ask for a good sidebar or position to publish the widget, and again they told me it’s a matter of the widget not being compatible with their theme, so they can’t help much. * Adding the language switcher to menu works fine, but i wanted to publish it as a widget. * Is there a way to hard-code it manually into template php, to a desired position? If so, which code should i try post in php file? * Thank again! * Plugin Support [Chrystl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrystl/) * (@chrystl) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-menu-layout-broken-by-polylang/#post-5857603) * > Is there a way to hard-code it manually into template php, to a desired position? > If so, which code should i try post in php file? * yes of course: [pll_the_languages](https://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/functions-reference/). * Plugin Author [Chouby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chouby/) * (@chouby) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-menu-layout-broken-by-polylang/#post-5857604) * > it’s a matter of the widget not being compatible with their theme, so they > can’t help much. * Could they explain what’s wrong in this widget? I believe that it is a very standard widget [using the Widget API as documented in the codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API) and so should be displayed correctly in any standard sidebar. * Thread Starter [AzMandius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azmandius/) * (@azmandius) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-menu-layout-broken-by-polylang/#post-5857607) * Chouby, it does display fine in just sidebar, while not getting displayed in top, middle and bottom sidebars, and unfortunately i don’t need it in the sidebar. This was their reply: “we can’t guarantee the theme compatibility with this widget/ plugin at all. We can guarantee the theme proper functioning with widgets created by our developers, with basic WooCommerce widgets and basic WordPress widgets”. * Chrystl, could you please tell me in which php file should i include code from pll_the_languages page?
