Some minutes ago I’ve released my second WordPress plug-in: A simple plug-in that displays flag icons that link to other language versions of your blog.
This plug-in combines my widget for displaying language selection flags in menu and footer with many additional options and settings in one clean WordPress plug-in.
The installation and configuration is very easy. Just have a look und let me know your thoughts!
This post is also available in Deutsch.
Hi Andreas,
your plugin but got an unexpected problem. After activating, while pressing on configure the plug in, I got the following message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
Is it anything could be done?
Thank you in advance,
Rami
Hello Rami,
thanks for your comment!
Somebody else told me about the same issue already, but I could not reproduce it myself here.
The other guy wrote me that for him the problem was solved after he went to the plug-in option page and saved these options without changes.
Does this work for you, too?
Best regards
Andreas
Hello Rami again,
in the meantime I found the core of this issue:
it is fixed in version 1.0.1 of this plug-in now.
Best regards and thanks again for posting
Andreas
I would like to be able to display the caption from the image used as a flag
this could be used for comments such as
click the flag for “english” text….
Hello Jeff,
OK, I’ll consider that for the next update.
Best regards
Andreas
Very nice widget implemented as a plugin
some of the functionality of the images has been removed (caption) and should be offered as an option in the configuration of the plugin
Willing to make reasonable financial contribution for suggested modification to have caption of image displayed on widget
The widget does not behave like a normal widget in a blog column, its position does not stay relative to its placing order in a column.
there should be an option for an absolute position with parameters like now or
a relative position within a column like ordinary widgets
Great plugin could be perfect in V2
Hello Jeff,
I’ll think about that, too.
Best regards
Andreas
Thanks for taking these requests into consideration.
Your plugin is great
Jeff
Hi,
how can i add the widget to the menu bar?
Regards
Hello Manuel,
you can use offset settings of the widget to move it around after you put the widget at the top of the right sidebar. Normally that’s enough to move it to the desired position in the menu bar.
Best regards
Andreas
Thanks for this widget. How does it directly link to the “right” post in another language? couldn’t find any configuration for it
Hello Johanne,
why you think it does that?
It does not link directly to the translated post, but only to the other language version of the blog itself.
It is also written this way in the plug-in description and on the plug-in configuration page of this website.
Best regards

Hello, I install Flags Widget in my webpage, I want to know if is possible to change the size of flags. I think there are small. Thanks!
Hello Jetzabel,
yes, that’s no problem:
just use your own flag images (you can set the image URLs in the flags widget itself). Then you can use any flag size you want.
Best regards
Andreas
Hi
I’m trying to use your flag widget in an Easel theme.
But I just can’t make it work. Nothing appears in the header or menu or wherever I try to put it. What might be the problem?
Best Regards
Perre
Hello Perre,
so, but without testing it myself I don’t have an idea about it. It may be a problem based on the theme you’re using.
If you want me to test it on your WordPress installation, please send me your wp-admin login via e-mail.
Best regards
Andreas
Hello Andreas
Did you get my wp-login by email?

Perre
Hello Perre,
yes, I did. Sorry, I just did not have the time to look at it – too much work right now.
I’ll have a look as soon as possible.
Best regards
Andreas
Hello,
Im trying to get the widget to display on the twenty eleven theme, but for some reason, although i have followed the print screens and instructions they still wont display on the website.
could you please tell me where i have gone wrong.
Iwan
Hello Iwan,
sorry, but without additional info what exactly the problem is, I just can’t help, too.
If you want me to look at it personally, please send me your login data to your “wp-admin” area of your blog via e-mail.
Best regards
Andreas
Hi, Andreas:
I’m trying to activate your plugin, I have already instalated it, I have chosen the flags, but I cannot find the ‘Options’ of widget window where I’m supposed to set the position of the flags, and other values. How can I reach it? Vielen Dank!
Hello David,
did you placed the Flags Widget already on your site?
Best regards
Andreas
Hi, same problem….
How do you add the flags?
Thanks….
Hello Patricia,
did you add the flags widget to your site already after installing the plug-in?
Best regards
Andreas
That’s what I ask….how do you add the flags?????
If I know how to add the flags, I could have added the flags already and would’nt I have to ask you how I add the flags…. But since I don’t know how to add the flags, I can’t already add the flags…. That’s why I ask you how to add the flags? Clear?????
Thanks.
Hello Patricia,
you impertinent way of writing is not a very good idea if you want to get some support for a free plug-in!
If you need to add a widget, maybe it would be good to do that in the “Widgets” section of the WordPress admin area (“Appearance” => “Widgets”)?
Therefore I asked if you added the flags widget already – it’s just a widget as all other widgets in the WordPress blog system, too.
Best regards
Andreas
Hi Andrew, Yes I know and maybe you’re right. But if you see two people asking te same thing about the flags. Why do you ask twice if we place the flags already at the sites?
And free or not, if it don’t work it don’t work. And I’m not the only one with problems with this plugin as you can see.
So you could also give this answer in the first place…… Because I didn’t know about a flag widget. Now you mentioned I see the flag widget at the widgets.
Oké, maybe I was overreacting a little. But its getting on my nerfs when things called simple and are not. And not work the way they supose to work……
Thanks for giving me the answer anyway after my not so nice email… :p
Hope it works, because I still like the idea of this plugin…..
Hi
I have installed the flags plugin and activated it and added the flags also..
Now i want the flags to display on the top rightmost corner of the page…
can you please say how to set the flags posiiton t the right most top corner
thank u..
Hello Kanuli,
in the flags widget options you can change the position offset of the flags. Just play around with that till the flags are at the correct position. I cannot help with that as it will be a different value for every possible theme.
Best regards
Andreas
