MslsSelect

Transforms the output of the Multisite Language Switcher to an HTML select

Requirements

• WordPress 5.6 or higher running in multisite mode.
• Multisite Language Switcher plugin (MslsSelect replaces its default list output).
• PHP 7.4+ to match the plugin minimum.

Installation

1. Install via the WordPress admin: go to Plugins → Add New, search for MslsSelect, and click Install Now.
2. Or install manually by uploading the latest mslsselect.zip to wp-content/plugins.
3. Activate MslsSelect network-wide (or on selected sites); the frontend hooks load automatically.

Usage

• Wherever Multisite Language Switcher renders its language list (widget, block, or the_msls() template tag), MslsSelect swaps the markup for a <select> element and auto-redirects after selection.

• The generated <select> uses the msls_languages class; target it in your theme for styling, e.g.:

  .msls_languages { max-width: 220px; }

• No additional configuration is required. The plugin ensures the current site stays in the list by updating the msls option when needed.

Troubleshooting

• If you still see a list instead of a dropdown, confirm the Multisite Language Switcher plugin is active and outputting links on that template.
• Clear page caches or CDN layers after activation so the new markup and JavaScript load correctly.
• Check the browser console for JavaScript errors; the minified file is enqueued as mslsselect if you need to debug or dequeue it temporarily.
