    Hi! Polylang is gaining popularity over WPML. Also from our experience it is more reliable and better in many ways.

    We understand that you can’t support all 3rd party plugins, but now enfold is keeping us to making the change from WPML to Polylang.

    Do you have plans to co-op with polylang to make it offially supported?

    Hey Applari,

    Thanks for contacting us :)

    From other users’ experience i can say that Polylang is working fine with Enfold. You only need to set frontpage in Settings > Reading and not in Enfold theme options.
    If there are any other issues that you are having with Enfold and Polylang, please let us know.

    Even though we do not provide support for 3rd party plugins, we do not mind taking a quick look to see if it is something we can help :)

    Best regards,

    I have a site being rebuilt with Enfold now and am facing an issue with the English /home/ page and SEO optimization. Since Polylang requires direct page matches, I cannot have a site root without /home/. Trying to sort this out but is there an option within the Enfold framework to fix this?

    Meaning I want to have a root URL of http://www.xyz.com and not http://www.xyz.com/home/. With Polylang it seems I cannot.

    Hi,


    @crtdude     Have you tried setting frontpage in Settings instead of Enfold theme options as i suggested above? If that does not help, please start a new thread under Enfold sub forum and attach temporary admin logins in private content field. Also, it might be a good idea to contact Polylang team as well, in case they already have a solution for it :)

    Best regards,

    It would be nice if this Polylang could be supported.. the main issue seems to be loading portfolio items or posts via the masonry element (and probably all other dynamic post loading elements).

    Polylang seems to be gaining quite a lot of ground on WPML still (as it’s free and less of a bulky plugin)

    So pleeeeaaaseee ^_^ look into this

    Hi Basilis,

    From my place, Polylang works well with loading portfolio items via the masonry. See this https://mekongtrails.com

    The issue at my site is that the 404 error pages does not get redirected to our appointed page. Do you have any solution overthere?

    Thanks,
    Hoang

    Hi,

    Please try this code and add it to your child theme functions.php file:

    
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_404_to_any_url' );
function redirect_404_to_any_url() 
{
    if ( is_404() )
    {
    	$url = 'https://mekongtrails.com/404';

    	$lang = pll_current_language('locale');
	switch ($lang)
	{
		case 'en_GB':
		$url = 'https://mekongtrails.com/404EN';
		break;
		case 'de_DE':
		$url = 'https://mekongtrails.com/404DE';
		break;
	}

	wp_redirect( $url ); 
	exit;
    }
}

    You need to replace https://mekongtrails.com/404 and https://mekongtrails.com/404DE with the url of your standard 404 page and https://mekongtrails.com/404EN with the url of English version of the 404 page.

    Best regards,
    Dude

    Hallo,
    eben habe ich eine neue Seite mit Enfold angelegt und das Polylang-Plugin installiert. Das Problem ist, die Sprachen sind nicht aktiv im (Haupt)Menü zu sehen. Der Sprachumschalter wird nicht unter Design/Menüs/ angezeigt. Das einzige was ich finde ist ein Sprachumschalter-Widget, hier finde ich keine Möglichkeit es für das Menü zu aktivieren. Bitte kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen : )
    Herzlichen Dank schon mal + viele Grüße
    Gabi

    Hi,

    @enfold-user: The plugin is not fully compatible with the theme, but it should work as is. If you want to add a language switcher, the following documentation should help.

    Dear Kriesi,

    I’m using Polylang and generally it works well with Enfold. However, I can’t find a way to switch the logo as set in the Enfold theme settings?

    Polylang does have the option to choose different images for different languages, but the Enfold logo option seems to only allow one image to be used for the logo.

    Thanks and best wishes,
    Richard

    Hi,


    @richardwilding    : Using the “avf_logo_final_output” filter should work in your case. Use the polylang’s conditional function to switch the logo for each language.

    Dear Kriesi support team,

    I’ve set up a German menu for my site, but when I click on the German flag (languae switcher), it gives me an error 404.
    I can see that the URL it’s trying to send me to is: https://uni-works.de/de/ . This URL doesn’t exist. How do I solve this problem??

    For example, the German homepage URL is: https://uni-works.de/de/home-de/
    And the German Teams page URL is: https://uni-works.de/de/unser-team/

    So it seems that the language switcher does not fill in the last part of the URL that is needed.

    Any ideas??

    I’ve set the static homepage to “Home” in the Settings > Reader menu options, but that hasn’t solved the problem.
    I’m not using masonry or portfolio elements, so those solutions aren’t applicable to me either.

    I’m leaving on holiday at the end of this week so any replies would be appreciated ASAP.

    Thanks!

    Chris

    Hi,


    @Chris    : Did you actually translate the home page? Looks like you created a new home page for DE because the EN home page doesn’t have any DE translation. You have to translate the selected home page.

    Hi Ismael,

    This is my German version of the home page: https://uni-works.de/de/home-de/
    I didn’t set it as an official translation of the English homepage. Is it possible to assign it as a translation of the homepage? Because otherwise I would have to remake every German page from scratch, which would be a lot of work!

    Best,

    Chris

    Hi,

    I didn’t set it as an official translation of the English homepage. Is it possible to assign it as a translation of the homepage?

    Unfortunately, there is no option for that by default as far as we know. The home page of other languages should be a translation of the home page in the original language. This is actually stated in their documentation.

    It is mandatory to translate the static front page in all languages. If you choose a page not translated in all languages, you will get an error message and your choice will not be validated.

    // https://polylang.pro/doc/define-your-home-page-as-a-static-page/

    You may need to ask the plugin developers if there is a way to assign a page as home page without actually translating the default home page.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    ISSUE SOLVED:

    I did have to manually recreate the pages, but I simply templated the entire existing German pages (one click per page, really simple), and then loaded those templates onto each new page. It took quick!

    Thanks for the help Ismael!
