# Custom flags

 * I design small websites, “_advertising portals_” with basic contact and PayPal
   payments etc. Nothing **BIG**.
 * I work in english and spanish from Spain, and have used this plugin often, finding
   it a super-logical way of mapping translations.
 * My problem: some times I have Latin American sites to design, for example I am
   currently building a site for a client in Panamá. To date I have found no way
   of making the custom URL for the flags to work. If I put the site in castellano
   I get a Spanish flag, I want the Panamá flag to display.
 * Toggling between the UK and the USA flags seems to function, if the site is in
   british english the British flag does display (similarly with Canada and USA).
 * Any help would be appreciated – thanks.

 * Hi,
 * you can define a directory with your custom flags. Did you try this option?
 * Cheers,
    Dennis.

 * Hi Dennis,
 * Yes, I tried defining a directory, I even put directories in various places within
   public_html, That’s to say in the web root, in the wp-content directory, in the
   theme directory. I also copied the URL to the Panamá flag within the MSLS plugin
   directory. All resulted in “broken images”.
 * I am still playing with this to try and get it working. Normally my translations
   are for Spain so no problem. If I manage to get it working I’ll post here with
   how I ended up solving it.
 * I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for this plugin – to me
   it is the most logical way of making my sites multi-language – and I have used
   it a lot.
 * Vielen dank!

 * Still no luck.
 * SERIOUSLY UGLY WORKROUND: I renamed the Panamá flag in the plugin directory to
   the spanish one. At least I have the right flag now.
 * Unfortunately I haven’t the time or the budget to continue experimenting with
   defining the custom directory.

 * Hi,
 * just copy the entire flag-directory in your (child-)theme-directory, rename there
   your Panama flag and insert in the plugin settings your directory-URI like /wp-
   content/themes/[xyz]/flags…
 * [xyz] is your theme directory.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Cheers,
    Dennis.
