Hello!

I checked your site and i can see that the problem is just that there are 18 elements called "footer" and many of them are standalone elements. at the same time you have the same in Spanish, for example but they are assigned incorrectly (they are using different templates i beleive).

Some are translated, some are not, and that's what's creating the confusion as you can see here: hidden link

Please check your footers, maybe delete the old ones you do not need, check the templates for the correct footer you want on each page (the name i mean) and then make sure they are translated.

If you tell me the name of the footer you want and in what language did you create it, i can further help you but i think that with maybe doing some cleaning or renaming the templates to make them more different between each other, you'll be able to setup the correct footer :D.

Also, since it seems the footer is supposed to be a global one, you might want to give the Theme Builder from divi a chance, so you only apply it once and leave Divi to handle it for you.

Just remember to follow our guide to make sure you translate it correctly: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/divi-builder/

Please check this video out: hidden link

All your problems stem from either missing updates or too much content that was making everything confusing.

You also don't use the theme builder which is created for situations like this and will make things easier in the long run because you can make the change in one place, update only one place and then have it shown in a LOT of places at once!

Please check what i did, let me know if you can apply the same to the other pages that have issues and if there's something you don't understand, then mention it to me so i can help you by explaining it in a different way.

Once that's 100% understood we can check the remaining problems if they still exist.
