Hello
I have a new theme for my site. I no longer want to use the choice of drop-down options that come with the plugin, but instead, use the example dropdown that came with the theme. Is it possible to use the built-in Menu system that comes with WordPress to create my own dropdown menu in the header of my site? I mean by adding Menu items that when clicked trigger a specific currency? If so, how do I find the link for each currency to trigger each event?
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert
In this case, you need code customization. we have an example of how to work with custom links:
Please read this - https://currency-switcher.com/how-to-create-currency-links-without-shortcode
Hi Pablo
Thanks for responding.
The link you sent explains how to insert data-currency=”USD” and class=”woocs_currency_link” into an A link, but not where it would go on the WP Menu?
Also, where would the jQuery function need to be placed? Does it already exist in the plugin's code, or does it need to be added elsewhere? The How-to page is lacking proper instructions, to be fair. If this How-to was written in more detail and fully explanatory, then we would not have to ask the question.

Hello Robert
If you have no programming experience, you should hire a developer
Unfortunately, we do not have a ready-made solution for you, there is only an example of implementing links for switching currencies. You can use this example to implement your custom code
The main idea in the URL is you need to add the GET request"currency" with the currency code. an example: ?currency=USD
Thanks
Hmmm... So, all I had to do was type ?currency=GBP or ?currency=USD or ?currency=EUR etc. as the URL in a WordPress custom menu. Why not clearly state this in the help pages to save us a lot of time, or save us from being told to hire a developer for something so simple.
Robert
Hello
Yes, it's easy only if you want to redirect to one page every time you switch currencies
Pablo
But if you're not using a full URL with the domain section included, and only typing say"?currency=GBP" into the URL of a custom link (as I previously stated), then the page is not redirecting anywhere, and when someone clicks the menu item it remains on the same page whilst changing the currency. That is the desired effect, i.e. no redirection to a single page only at all.
Robert
Ok! But keep in mind in this case you will remove all parameters in the URL (filter, sorting, anchors, etc.)
