Overview of the issue

When using Elementor popups with WPML, containers with links set to open a popup will always display it on the default language, even if you have a translated version of it.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.


  • Open your theme’s functions.php file.

  • Add the following snippet: 
    /**
 * Convert the popup link in an container
 * compsupp-7641 workaround
 */
add_filter( 'wpml_pb_elementor_widget_dynamic_id_converters', function( $converters ) {
	$isContainer = WPMLFPRelation::propEq( 'elType', 'container' );

	$containerLinksLens = WPMLFPcompose(
		WPMLFPObj::lensProp( 'settings' ),
		WPMLFPObj::lensPath( [ '__dynamic__', 'link' ] )
	);
	return array_merge(
		$converters,
		[
				[ $isContainer, $containerLinksLens, 'popup', 'popup' ],
		]
	);
} );
