Community Q&A

Does Polylang work with Elementor?

Yes, they are compatible, but Polylang does not automatically duplicate Elementor templates like headers or footers for different languages.

How do I translate Elementor headers in Polylang?

You must create separate header and footer templates for each language and assign them to the corresponding language version in the Elementor settings.

Why do my Elementor archive pages show posts in all languages?

Elementor queries sometimes ignore language settings on archive pages; you can fix this by adding a custom filter to your functions.php file.
