Overview of the issue

Sometimes, not all menus that exist in your site will be listed in the dialog to add a language switcher to a menu. Additionally, the language switcher is missing in the menu of secondary language.

Workaround

This issue occurs with old installs where the term_id is not always equal to the term_taxonomy_id.

The problem will be fixed in a future release. Meanwhile, it is possible to manually patch the currently released version.

Step 1

$menu_details = $this->sitepress->get_element_language_details( $menu->term_id, 'tax_nav_menu' );

With:

$menu_details = $this->sitepress->get_element_language_details( $menu->term_taxonomy_id, 'tax_nav_menu' );

Step 2

return new WPML_Menu_Element( $element_data->element_id, $this->sitepress, $this->wpml_cache );

With:

return new WPML_Menu_Element( $element_data->term_id, $this->sitepress, $this->wpml_cache );
