Shopify - Troubleshooting - I deleted the Weglot app but the Weglot button remains on my website

In this article, you’ll learn how to remove the Weglot language switcher that may remain on your Shopify store after uninstalling the Weglot app.

Sometimes, if the Weglot switcher was added manually to your Shopify theme, uninstalling the app does not automatically remove it from your website.

1. How to manually remove the language switcher

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store.
2. (Optional but recommended) Duplicate your live theme before making any code changes.

3. Click the three-dot menu (…) next to your live theme and select Edit code.

   

4. Open the theme.liquid  file.
5. Search for and remove the following lines if they are present:

{% render 'weglot_hreftags' %}
{% render 'weglot_switcher' %}

5. Click ”Save”.

2. How to check other theme files (optional)

If the language switcher still appears, it may have been added manually to another theme file.

Open files such as:

• header.liquid  
• footer.liquid  
• Any custom section or snippet where you previously added Weglot code

You can use your editor’s search function (Ctrl+F   or Cmd+F  ) or search the theme for the keyword weglot

Remove any remaining Weglot-related code, such as:

<div class="weglot_here"></div>

or any other custom Weglot scripts or placeholders that were added manually.

Once you’ve removed all remaining Weglot code, save your changes and refresh your website to confirm that the language switcher no longer appears.
