How to delete the language selector underneath the footer?

Start a Business

Topic summary

Duplicate language selector appears in a Shopify Dawn theme: one in the footer (intended) and a second underneath the footer. A screenshot was referenced to illustrate the issue.

  • Store URL was shared for context.
  • Initial fix: add CSS to hide .locale-selectors__container. This removed the extra selector successfully.
  • Update/Best practice: Staff advised against code edits. The extra selector was identified as coming from Shopify’s Geolocation app (which can display language/country selectors).
  • Recommended solution: Go to Apps > Geolocation and turn off the selector within the app settings.
  • Outcome: Disabling the selector in the Geolocation app worked as well.

Status: Resolved. Preferred resolution is adjusting the Geolocation app settings rather than using custom CSS.

Hey there,

I need help with the language selector. I use the dawn theme and the language selector appears twice. One time where it should be in the footer and a second time underneath the footer. Please see the pics attached. The one I circled in I want to get rid of.

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks in advance,

Bianca

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code

  2. Open your base.css or section-footer.css file and paste the following code below:

.locale-selectors__container {
    display: none !important;
}

Awesome, thank you so much! That worked perfectly.

Hi @BBajmel , I would not recommend editing code. This is the selector from the Geolocation app. Go to Apps > Geolocation and turn off the selector.
