    Hello everyone

    This is my very first site with Elementor.

    I’m working on the footer of the Twenty Seventeen theme, using Header and Footer Elementor. I’m encountering some issues and maybe someone can help.

    The two main issues are:
    1. I’m working on a multilanguage landing page. I found no way to create different language footers. Is there a simple way to do that? I know is possible to create several different footers, but it seems that only one can be applied at time.

    2. I’m trying to add on the footer a menu with the links. There is a add links (navbar) in Elementor, but when I add them on the footer they just appear as a list. I tried to assign a class (there is actually a label to create classes on the Elementor’s widget) but when I try for example to change colour to the text modifying the style.css of the child theme, the tweaks are just applied to the dots (that I’d like to remove) before each link… I guess they are put down as a list? Is there a way to add a menu and give it a style in order to make it adhere to the rest of the visual?

    Thank you in advance for your precious help!

    The plugin works correctly with Polylang a well as WPML.
    – Create and assign a footer using this plugin.
    – translate the footer layout using multilingual plugins.
    – When you switch the frontend language on the site, the footer will also be correctly displayed in the appropriate language.

    The styling will be dependent on the Elementor widget that you are using. Elementor Pro’s Navmenu widget does have more styling options to design the menus.

    Hello Nikhil,

    Thank you for your reply 🙂

    1. When I create the footer (as if I was creating a new page) I don’t see the “+” sign that allows you to create an alternative page. Where can I do it?
    Consider that I’m using the plugin on the Twenty Seventeen theme. I altered the footer.php page use the footer generated with Elementor rather than the one with the widgets.

    2. I am using Elementor Free. Altough I can alter the style using css {I created a child theme so all I have to do is altering the css itself}. Problem is that I cannot alterthe texts, but just thebullet points on the left of each link.
    I am still investigating on this… Maybe this happens because all the links are into a list <li>?
    Also in that case I should be able to alter the text with the css, am I not?

    Thank you very much for your help 🙂

    1. Which plugin are you using for multilingual translations? that plugin should have a setting somewhere to enable it on different post types. You should enable that plugin to “Header Footer Templates” post type.

    2. I did not understand what exactly you mean by this? Maybe a screenshot would help understand the exact problem.
    although I think what you are referring to is related to a widget from Elementor and you should Ideally ask this question in their support channels – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor

    Hi Nikhil,

    1. For the translation I’m using Polilang. I can see the flags in the backend page of Header and Footer Elementor but not the “+” sign that allows you to create additional translated contents.

    I’d add a screenshot to show it but I don’t know how to upload images on this forum.
    I’ve used pasteall to include the images… sorry for the raw solution.

    2. Basically when I add a menu to the footer using Elementor, this appears in a dark grey color, as a dotted list, using the default font in the default size. I’d like to tweak this in order to make this menu more in line with the rest of the page’s style. I don’t see a way to do that or to assign a class that I can tweak using the css.

    Hello!

    A quick update… I probably found how to activate the “+” sign to translate the footer.
    Basically in Languages -> Settings in Polilang and at the voice Synchronization I activated several fields. After palying a little with that the “+” sign appeared also on the header and footer elementor plugin.

    I don’t hide I’m really happy!

    Now I just need to sort out the menu style problem.
    I think the best option is acting on the css. Maybe my mistake was assigning a class to the list and trying to alter the text?

    I would like to add that I also sorted out the menu issue.
    The problem is that the menu is a list and css should alter the list itself.
    Now… if I want to alter the item in the list I’ll have to define a class and target the “a tag” inside that class {is actually a div that receive the class}.

    So basically the css apperas like this:

    .classname a {}

    Problem is that a list will never have the exact spacing of a text (like the address and phone number).
    For this reason I opted to create 4 links to put at the bottom of the page in the footer. The laypout is really nice and seems working fine.

    Thank you so much for your precious help! I also learnt something new to this is a win win situation 🙂

    Great job in creating this plugin Nikhil… it works really perfectly and sorts out LOTS of problems. Footers are always a pain!
