## Instalación

#### Minimum Requirements

 * WordPress 4.6 or higher.

#### Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers
itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install
of Language Switcher, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins
menu and click Add New.

In the search field type «Language Switcher» and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve
found my plugin extension you can view details about it such as the the point release,
rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply
clicking Install Now. After clicking that link you will be asked if you’re sure 
you want to install the plugin. Click yes and WordPress will automatically complete
the installation.

#### Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading my plugin and uploading it to
your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

 1. Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
 2. Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin
    folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
 3. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

#### Upgrading

Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup 
your site just in case.

This plugin would be just perfect if it had its bugs fixed. It seems to perform 
some language detection with session cookies that constantly introduces errors, 
such as all pages being shown as language:English in both the site and the admin
panel.

### 󠀁[Broke my website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-website-59/)󠁿

 [gdvine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gdvine/) 7 de enero de 2021

Installed, activated, and turned on the menu switcher on my main nav. The plugin
replaced (?) several menu items with its switcher menu item. Soon thereafter, the
entire front end of the site died. Wouldn’t even load anything at all, so likely
a PHP issue or incompatibility. Deactivating took everything back to normal. Really
too bad, as I could use this plugin’s functionality.

A super simple and useful plugin. Is it possible to add a photo of language flags?
Such a visual option would definitely be great.
