[Assigned] EAE plugin links for columns doesn't work

Hi Annika,

Thank you for replicating the issue on a clean installation. I reported this to the compatibility team.

This might take time, but I will get back to you as soon as I have news from them.

Thanks.

Hi Annika,

Our compatibility team provided a workaround for the time being:

Make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'elementor/frontend/before_render', 'wpml_compsupp8345_eael_wrapper_link');
function wpml_compsupp8345_eael_wrapper_link( $element ) {
    if ( 'container' !== $element->get_data( 'elType' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $settings = $element->get_settings();

    if ( empty( $settings['eael_wrapper_link']['url'] ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
    $url  = apply_filters( 'wpml_permalink', $settings['eael_wrapper_link']['url'], $lang, true );

    $settings['eael_wrapper_link']['url'] = $url;
    $element->set_settings( 'eael_wrapper_link', $settings['eael_wrapper_link'] );
}

Please get back to us with the result.

Thanks.

Hi Annika,

The code is given to address the issue for this page:

On the installation below:

Did you use the exact same widget with the same settings on your website?

If not, please create a widget on our installation that will reflect the exact thing you use.

Also make sure you clear and purge any cache plugin that you might have.

Hello and thank you for the login information to the staging website.

I recorded a video showing what to do to apply the fix:

Summary

The video provides a step-by-step tutorial on fixing internal link issues in a WordPress website using Elementor and WPML translation plugins. It explains how to replace static URLs with dynamic page links in Elementor to ensure correct language version navigation and how to update translations properly in WPML. The tutorial also covers troubleshooting steps and best practices for managing internal and external links in a multilingual website.

Action items

- Replace static URLs with Elementor's dynamic internal link feature to ensure correct multilingual navigation.
- After updating links, modify the page title to prompt WPML to recognize changes and update translations.
- For external links, manually update URLs in the WPML advanced translation editor as needed.

Thanks.
