Description
Multilingual Visibility for Elementor is a lightweight, zero-bloat extension that bridges the gap between Elementor and WPML. It allows you to easily show or hide specific Elementor elements depending on the current active language, directly from the Elementor Editor.
If you have ever needed to display a specific banner, button, or section exclusively to your Spanish users, and a different one to your English users, this plugin provides the native-like experience you need.
Instead of duplicating entire pages or dealing with messy CSS classes, you can manage language visibility just like you manage mobile or tablet responsiveness in Elementor.
Main Features
Seamless Integration: Adds a new “WPML Language Visibility” panel inside the Elementor “Advanced” tab.
Complete Control: Works with standard Elementor elements: Widgets, Columns, Sections, and Flexbox Containers.
Show or Hide Logic: Choose to either show an element only on selected languages, or hide it on selected languages.
Zero Impact on Performance: Uses native Elementor and WPML rendering hooks. It doesn’t load unnecessary CSS or JS on your frontend.
WPML & Elementor Pro Compatible: Fully tested with WPML, Elementor Free, and Elementor Pro (Classic Editor UI).

FAQ
-
Do I need Elementor Pro for this to work?
-
No! The plugin works perfectly with the free version of Elementor as well as Elementor Pro.
-
Does it support Flexbox Containers?
-
Yes, it fully supports both the classic Sections/Columns layout and the standard Flexbox Containers. (Note: The experimental Atomic Editor UI introduced in newer Elementor versions is currently not supported for UI injection, but frontend visibility rules will still apply if configured previously).
-
This is normal behavior. WPML scans the Elementor database to find translatable strings, regardless of whether they are visible on the frontend or not. You can simply copy the original text or ignore it in the translation editor. Our plugin ensures the element will NOT be rendered on the frontend for the restricted languages.
-
Will it slow down my website?
-
Not at all. The plugin executes a simple PHP array check before rendering the element. It adds absolutely no extra CSS or JavaScript to the frontend of your website.
