Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with translating the footer and header using Elementor and the Masterstudy template. When switching languages, a different footer appeared, and the header transparency settings were not consistent across languages.
Solution:
Step 1: To translate the footer, we advised the client to either use "WPML > String translation" or create widgets for each language. We provided a documentation link for further guidance:
Translating Widgets documentation.
Step 2: For the Elementor-created footer not appearing in other languages, we instructed the client to go to "Appearance > Elementor Header & Footer Builder" and translate the Footer there. Additionally, we recommended translating the menus included in the footer by following this guide:
Translating Menus documentation.
Step 3: To address the issue of the header not being transparent on translated pages, we suggested the following:
- Navigate to WPML > Settings and locate the 'Custom Field Translation' section.
- Search for
and set its translation preference to "Copy" if it appears in the results.
- Save the changes, then edit the default homepage in WordPress Editor, make a minor change, and update the translation.
If these solutions do not resolve the issues or if they seem outdated or irrelevant to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
