    Theme: XStore
    Priority: Urgent – Launch Critical
    Category: Mobile Menu / Multilingual Support
    Site Access: Will provide staging credentials in private area

    Issue Summary
    Mobile language switcher functionality was previously working correctly but has broken after site maintenance and troubleshooting. Desktop language switching works but mobile users cannot switch languages. Need urgent assistance restoring mobile language switching functionality.

    Technical Environment
    Site: Staging environment (will provide access credentials)
    XStore Theme: Current version
    WordPress: 6.8.2
    WPML: v4.8.1
    Languages: English (default), Finnish, Spanish
    WooCommerce: 10.1.2

    Current Problems
    1.- Mobile Language Switcher Missing / Dropdown not working
    – Desktop shows language flags/options correctly
    – Mobile menu completely lacks language switching capability
    – Mobile users stuck in default language with no switching option

    2.- XStore Mobile Menu Limitations
    – Mobile menu editor shows limited element options
    – Cannot find proper language switcher integration method
    – Previous mobile functionality has been lost

    Background Context
    Critical: This functionality was working previously on this XStore installation but broke during site maintenance. We need to restore the working mobile language switching that existed before.

    What We’ve Tried
    1.- XStore header builder mobile menu configuration
    2.- Various menu location assignments
    3.- Mobile menu element testing
    4.- Theme customization attempts

    Request for XStore Support
    Since mobile language switching was previously functional with XStore, we need:
    1.- XStore-specific method for implementing mobile language switchers
    2.- Proper mobile menu configuration for multilingual sites
    3.- Theme requirements that may have been disrupted during maintenance
    4.- Step-by-step guidance to restore working mobile language switching

    Screenshot attached is showing current mobile language switcher behavior – functionality exists but interface implementation needs improvement for proper mobile user experience.

    Access Information
    Will provide in private area:
    – Staging WordPress admin credentials
    – FTP access for theme investigation
    – Any additional access needed for diagnosis

    Timeline
    Launch-critical issue. Mobile users represent significant traffic and cannot access non-English content.

    Expected Outcome
    Functional language switching restored in mobile interface, matching previous working state.

    Site credentials will be provided in private section (Login & FTP)

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Dear @MaxFIN,

    We hope this message finds you well.

    Upon reviewing your website, we noticed that the header was not active on your pages. To address this, we enabled the header using the Theme Options → Header Builder.

    Additionally, we tested your website on responsive view and observed that the language switcher is present in the mobile menu, as shown in the following screenshot: https://gyazo.com/ecb813bb384839b993174734dd85d37e. Based on our testing, it appears to be functioning correctly, as demonstrated in the attached video.

    To better understand the issue you are experiencing, could you kindly provide us with a video illustrating the problem? This will help us identify and resolve the matter more effectively.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Best regards,
    The 8Theme Team
