Hi,
I have huge issues with Specular. I am not able to customize properly since I have set up WPML.
My navigation bar has now gone crazy and into 2 lines. I have a 3 searchbars. The content is not in a box for some of the content but for others it is. My blog page appears in French but not in English.
Can you please help me sort this out ASAP.

Hello,
The wpml does not affect any of theme options and since it is fully compatible it will not break anything.
1- You had 3 search because you had set a title to the ‘search’ widget. I removed it from both search forms (top header and copyright footer).
2- I don’t see the menu to be in two rows, but i guess this happened when you put some more items into it. Since the font size is quite large, it extends the available width and so it will flow to the second row. If you want to put more menu items, decrease the font size or arrange them in sub-items, for them to fit all.
3- Make sure you have selected the ‘box’ layout for that content you are having issues.
4- Since there can only be one blog page in a site, please follow this scenario:
– Translate all posts;
– Create a new page in English version;
– Via visual composer, add the full blog element;
– set this page in the English version menu as the blog page.Best regards!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
OK for the footer.
However here are my concerns…
Blog : waiting for you to get back to me ASAP as I need to finish this website
Portfolio : I do not want categories to show as it is only one portfolio of projects and do not want the category tag to show as it does not fit with the look of the website. I want it to look as before… Please advise
The flags : how to I get the language flag onto the right menu?
Search widget : How do I get the widget to be translated in French when on the french page and not say “search”
Articles : At the moment, the button on the articles page says “read more” how to make it French
Thank you for your returns

Hello,
1- We are working on it. As soon as it is resolved, everyone will be notified.
2- The category in portfolio is required for the normal functionality of portfolio. And for it to be translatable. To remove them from displaying, add these lines into your custom css box:#portfolio-filter { display: none;} .portfolio-item.overlayed h6 { display: none;}
3- To add the language selectors beside the main menu, Gg to file header.php and find these lines:
<a class="right_search open_search_button" href="#"> <i class="icon-search"></i> </a> <?php endif; ?>
After them add this line:
<?php do_action('icl_language_selector'); ?>
It should look like this:<a class="right_search open_search_button" href="#"> <i class="icon-search"></i> </a> <?php endif; ?> <?php do_action('icl_language_selector'); ?>
4- You can translate all text via WPML options, read here for more.
Best regards!

Hello,
Please follow the instructions to translate the blog page:
1. Edit the file ‘specular/wpml-config.xml.2. Replace the file content with this one:
https://www.codeshare.io/5yXQf3. Then, please click on the WPML > Theme and plugins localization. Be sure that the ‘Translate by WPML.’ option is selected. Scroll down the page and look for the “Strings in the theme” option. Click on the “Scan the theme for strings” button. This will scan the theme to find the strings.
Please in WPML > String Translation, check if the strings are available for translation.
What should be displayed in the String Translation page is the blog page ID (search ’16’). You need to add the page ID translated into other languages ( 1187 is the blog page ID in English ).
It it doesn’t succeed please replace the file content and let me know so I can help you with the blog translation.
We will fix this issue on the next theme update.
Best regards!

Hi,
I am still having an issue with my navigation bar : there’s still a gray bar with the language flags above instead of on the right at the same level…
Thank you for your help

I did do everything you have instructed.
Can you please have a look…
Thank you

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
I added the code like in previous replies, and added this css:#lang_sel_list { float: right; padding-top: 72px; }
into your custom css box, to align it with the menu. I disabled the languages flags from displaying in top header right.
You have a cache plugin installed and that is why you weren’t able to see the changes.Best regards!

For all, I came up with a solution.
1. Create a page in your main language. On the top right, “Overwrite the default post layout”, change the settings to the sidebar either right or left. Of course, I you don’t want to have a sidebar, then leave it like it is.
2. Underneath the title click on “Backend Editor”. Scroll down and insert the element “Full blog”, configure as you like.
3. Hit save
4. On the Page Overview, click on the + on your second languages column. Do the same with 1., 2. and 3. above.
5. Go to “Appearance” and then Menu and insert the newly created page in both languages as a menu item.
6. Save menu
Voila, you have now the blog in both languages with the blog posts.
