[Resolved] Site is getting timeout error when switching language from german to english

Hello there,

Thank you for waiting. The message you shared is probably not related to the problem, it's just a deprecated notice. Though I can't 100% confirm.

After a more thorough investigation, I found the following:

1. The issue happens only if your Child Theme and Elementor Pro are active;
2. Switching to the parent theme solves the issue;

This indicated that there was some function causing a time-out on your child-theme's code. With your Child Theme activated, I commented out the code below:

function custom_shop_footer_output() {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'elementor_theme_do_location' ) || ! elementor_theme_do_location( 'footer' ) ) {
		get_footer( 'shop' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'custom_shop_footer_output' );

And the website started working again. What's likely happening, is that get_footer() loads the footer template, and the footer template calls do_action( 'wp_footer' ) again ➜ your function runs again ➜ calls get_footer() again… rinse, repeat → endless recursion → timeout.

I recommend that you, or your developer, check this function, so it doesn't cause any errors.

Hey there,

Since this issue is not related to the initial issue you brought, I've created a new ticket to address it. I'll answer you directly there:
