 * Hello everyone!
    ** I have a multilanguage site with Elementor and Polylang. 
   What should be mysite.com/fr/example is mysite.com/fr/fr/example … that extra
   slug shouldn’t be there.
 * Seems like a petty problem, but it is breaking my site and giving me the_content-
   function errors on Elementor.
 * **As far as I understand, WordPress pages are stored in the database, not as 
   html files I can access through my file manager. So, I cannot remove a directory
   and move everything one level closer to root. How would I remove these extra 
   slugs through the database?**
 * Thanks in advance =)
 * PS: Also tried to ask Polylang about it, but no answer yet. So, I am going to
   try to remove them myself. [Here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/back-up-permalinks/)
   is the link to that topic.
 * Thanks =)

 * The links belong there as they are the homepage for each language. Turns out 
   there is one slug for the language and one slug for the main page of each language,
   which cannot be the same.
 * mysite.com/fra/fr will work
