Add Polylang to WordPress Customizer

(February 2019) Refactored by Peder Andreas Nielsen at Dekode

This add-in gives you full Polylang support in WordPress customizer. By full support I mean that you customize each language site differently.

For backward compatibility I've elected to not use customizer changesets (this time).

Prerequisite

Polylang must be installed and activated.
Add languages in Admin->Languages.
If you have a static front page:
1. Create a front page per language.
2. In Admin->Settings-Reading, per language, select the front page.
Expect customizer to use setting type = theme_mod (the customizer default) as in:

$wp_customize->add_setting( 'setting_id', [
	'type' => 'theme_mod', // the default, you don't have to set this
 ] );

Install

Clone or download this repository into your child theme root folder
In your child theme functions.php add customizer-polylang.php:

require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/customizer-polylang.php';

Credits

I got the idea from the customizer-export-import plugin.

I did this during work hours at the Norwegian Government Security and Service Organisation (DSS). We at DSS believe in sharing code.
