Tell us what you are trying to do?
We are building header menu for our website with Elementor HEader and Footer Builder so we can show it only on "Logged users". And it was working fine. As our website is i one main language - Bulgarian we install WPMl so we can translate some text coming out form plugins. And after we install it the header stops shows on logged users. We double checked and we uninstall you plugin it start working again.
Both plugins are important to us so we need to find a way to make them both work.
Thanks.

Hello. So I logged to the sanbox website and create test header and it does not work.
Here is how to reproduce it:
1. Go to Apperiance --> Elementor Header and Footer
2. Press Add new button -> put name of teh element and choose type :Header
3. Choose to be visibile to the entire website (does noт really matter teh option here)
4. edit it with Elementor and published it

It should be visible now when you are loggedin, but it seems to not working.

Hi,

Thanks for replicating the issue. I've checked the issue and was able to fix it by the following steps.

1- Go to WPML-> Settings-> Post Type Translation
2- Set the "Elementor Header & Footer Builder (elementor-hf)" post type to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language"
3- Update the header template

After the above steps, the header appeared correctly in the default language, but it didn't show in the translated language, so I duplicated it, which fixed the issue.

Would you please check the sandbox site and let me know if the header works as expected?

Thanks for your cooperation

Regards,
Osama
