    Hi there!
    I’m installing the polylang plugin for a friend right now, but the dropdown functionality isn’t working for me :/
    If I use it without dropdown its working, but he wants to use ~5 languages, so one below the other isn’t working.

    I’m using the following line in the header:
    <?php pll_the_languages(array('hide_current'=>1,'dropdown'=>1)); ?>

    See here:

    If would really appreciate some help 🙂

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi!
    Thanks for the fast answer and link, didnt read that before.

    Could you tell me/us which code I have to use to get the dropdown working? Or is this too complicated?
    Im new with PHP, so I just included everything regarding your in-code comments:

    foreach ($polylang->model->get_languages_list() as $language) {
				$url = $force_home || ($url = $polylang->links->get_translation_url($language)) == null ? $polylang->links->get_home_url($language) : $url;
				$urls[] = '"'.esc_js($language->slug).'":"'.esc_url($url).'"';
			}

			$urls = implode(',', $urls);

			$js = "
				<script type='text/javascript'>
					//<![CDATA[
					var urls = {{$urls}};
					var d = document.getElementById('lang_choice');
					d.onchange = function() {
						for (var i in urls) {
							if (this.value == i)
								location.href = urls[i];
						}
					}
					//]]>
				</script>";

			echo $js;

    but this (maybe obviously) didn’t worked.

    Thanks!

    Try adding the line:

    global $polylang;

    above your code.

    You should output your javascript code after the language switcher, not before.
