Problem: You are trying to ensure that the translated pages on your site use the same template as the English version after installing WPML. However, the translated pages do not use the same template as the English ones, and you are unable to change the template for them. Solution: The issue is likely related to how Elementor templates and WPML translations are linked. Here’s how you can ensure your translated pages use the same (or a translated) template: 1. Go to Templates → Theme Builder in your WordPress dashboard while in the default (English) language. 2. Locate the template used for your English pages. Ensure it’s assigned with the proper Display Conditions. 3. Switch to your secondary language using the language switcher in the top admin bar. 4. Go back to Templates → Theme Builder and click Add New to create a template for the secondary language. Design it as needed, then publish it, but do not set Display Conditions for this template. 5. Switch back to the default language, return to Templates, and edit your original (English) template. 6. In the right sidebar, find the Language box and click Connect with translations. Select or search for the new template you just created in the secondary language and assign it. If you’re unable to change the template for translated pages, it’s usually because the templates aren’t linked across languages, or Display Conditions are set incorrectly for the secondary language template. Ensure only the default language template has Display Conditions set.
