[Resolved] I can´t edit Elementor after setting "different language per domain"

Hi there

Thanks for your contact!

This is a recognized Cross-Domain (CORS) issue, as Elementor and other page builders restrict access to their interface from different domains unless you are logged in to that specific domain.

In order to use Elementor on your second domain, you'll need to log in to wp-admin on that domain.

From the WPML side, a possible solution is to enable the option WPML --> Languages > Language URL format and activate the "Auto sign-in and sign-out users from all domains" option.

If this doesn't resolve the issue for you, please let me know.

Best regards,
Mateus.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

If you login directly into your second language domain (by accessing second-domain.com/wp-login.php), are you still unable to edit the pages through Elementor?

The answer being 'yes', we might be facing an interaction issue with a third-party functionality, in this case:

- Deactivate all the plugins that are not related to WPML
- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one
- If the issue is gone, activate one by one to see with which one there is an interaction issue

Could you please tell me the results of this investigation? Also, can you enable the debug mode? Just add the following code in your wp-config.php file:

// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
  
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
  
// Disable display of errors and warnings 
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
  
// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

After adding the code above, try to reproduce the issue again and check if you'll find a debug.log file inside the wp-content folder. If you locate it there, kindly send us the last lines here in the ticket.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

You're right, it won't work properly until you set the second language domain properly, according to our doc: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/

Also, we do not recommend to keep switching your language URL structure. Please choose one and stick to it.

Kindly let me know if you still have doubts or need further assistance. Thank you.
