 * I tried Following the faq in order to change the flag pictures. My own flags 
   won’t appear.
    1. put flag nl_NL.png and en_UK in folder [http://www.example.com/wp-content/polylang/](http://www.example.com/wp-content/polylang/)
   2. emptied cache 3. nothing changes
 * Could someone provide some instructions that are suited to an advanced developer,
   because these are not sufficient:
 * > Can I use my own flags for the language switcher?
   > Yes. You have to use PNG or JPG files and name them with the WordPress locale.
   > For example, en_US.png. Then upload these files in the /wp-content/polylang/
   > directory (create the directory if it does not exist). Don’t use the /polylang/
   > flags/ directory as your files would be removed when automatically updating
   > the plugin. Once the custom flags are uploaded, go in Polylang settings and
   > click on save changes. Note that your custom flags won’t be used on admin side.

 * Have you resave your Polylang settings (Settings > Languages > Setting tab > 
   Url modifications for example)?

 * Yes. Did that. Did the trick! Where is the code in the plugin that steers this
   behavior?
