Title: Polylang Beaver Builder Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Polylang Beaver Builder * [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/) * Hi, * First of all, thank you very much for this amazing plugin! It is only, true replacement for WPML, eventhough it doesn’t have that many features. * I am currently testing the plugin with Beaver Builder page builder plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/beaver-builder-lite-version/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/beaver-builder-lite-version/)) but am running into an issue. The plugin editing won’t work with translation pages when using Polylang. * When I create a page in English, the Beaver Builder works fine. After I add a translation to the page and try to edit it with Beaver Builder, the plugin won’t run. I’d say this has to do something with how Polylang manages the translation URLs. * I’ve tried different settings for Polylang, none works for me. * Have you had any reports about this incompatibility with Beaver Builder before( if so, I apologize for duplicate ticket)? Is there some workaround? Or could you introduce some fix? * BTW. The Beaver Builder works with WPML in this regards (there is another issue with WPML, which is on their side actually). You can see the ticket I’ve logged at Beaver Builder support forum at [https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com/support/q/wpml-and-polylang-multi-lingual-plugin-support/](https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com/support/q/wpml-and-polylang-multi-lingual-plugin-support/) * Thank you for any info/help provided! * Regards, * Oliver * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [adamess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamess/) * (@adamess) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5807886) * Hey Oliver, * I use beaver builder with polylang, it works perfectly, you need to change a couple of settings in poly lang….. * Here you go….. * In Polylang settings: * **select the option –** The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks * **Make sure this in NOT ticked – ** Hide URL language information for default language * **select this option –** Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks * **make sure this box is ticked – ** The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id * You may be able to change one or two of thsese and it will still work, but this is what I use and it works perfectly! * Good Luck let us know you were successful? * Adam * Thread Starter [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5807900) * Hi Adam, * Indeed it works now. I don’t know what I have done that it wasn’t working for me… It works even with “Hide URL language information for default language” turned on. * However, there is one issue, pretty significant. I can see the Polylang copied my English content to Slovak translation page. That was pretty perfect for start 😉 So I translated the Slovak version of the page. Then I went back to English one and added another Beaver Builder row and saved/updated the page. I switched over to Slovak translation of the page and the whole Slovak content was gone as the new English content has replaced it… Do you experience the same? * And actually, this is not related to BB plugin only. I am also testing the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/subtitles/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/subtitles/) plugin and experience the same issue, so it points to how Polylang handles the post meta. Can you please check? * Thank your! * Oliver * Plugin Support [Chrystl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrystl/) * (@chrystl) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808022) * Hi Try deactivating all your synchronizations in Polylang settings. * [misterixas111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misterixas111/) * (@misterixas111) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808024) * Something is the same problem with other page builder plugin: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-builder-by-siteorigin-3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-builder-by-siteorigin-3) * [StayForLunch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stayforlunch/) * (@stayforlunch) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808025) * @ misterixas111 * As Chrysti suggested you need to deactivate synchronisation for Custom Fields( Settings > Languages > Settings tab). This solved the issue for me with Polylang and SiteOrigin Page Builder, but might work too with other Page Builders using custom posts/fields. * SFL * [misterixas111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misterixas111/) * (@misterixas111) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808026) * @ StayForLunch * Ok, I will try it, thanks! * [misterixas111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misterixas111/) * (@misterixas111) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808027) * Its worked. Little bit strange 🙂 So what exactly it is not synchronizing now?) * [StayForLunch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stayforlunch/) * (@stayforlunch) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808028) * Glad you sorted it out! As what else is not synchronising now : At least html tags within custom posts and/or fields. I didn’t check anything else yet. For instance if you have to update a post/page (eg. add/remove text/media/widgets or change html tags or styles), you will either : – Need to make these changes manually for all languages – Or to re-activate synchronisation, and deactivate again Custom Fields synchronisation after you have finished and saved your changes. As far as I am concerned, previous translations are not lost. * PS : This is specific to Polylang+SiteOrigin PB. However this might also help with any Page Builder using Custom Fields. I therefore still post here rather than [there](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-builder-by-siteorigin-3) * [misterixas111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misterixas111/) * (@misterixas111) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808029) * In the future, i hope, it will be fixed. For some people, maybe this bug is more dramatic than for me 😉 * Thread Starter [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808055) * Hi guys, * Thanks for explaining the issue. I’m new to Polylang and I should study it a bit more. Indeed this was in synchronization settings. * But this leads me to a question: The synchronization is a good idea but when it is turned off, the pages using page builders such as Beaver Builder are basically a bit of a problem here. Would it be possible to add a “**Copy content from default language**” button to posts/pages when creating new translation? Enabling a synchronization, creating translation and then disabling synchronization seems to me a bit too complicated. The button would resolve the issue I think. * Thank you very much for consideration! * Regards, * Oliver * [StayForLunch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stayforlunch/) * (@stayforlunch) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808056) * Hi Oliver, * An option is to create/amend all your new content at once rather than working post by post or page by page. You then don’t have to re-activate/deactivate sync a hundred times. With or without a button, having to copy-paste content manually makes you gig between screens. That’s just hell when you have a lot of content. * Cheers, SFL. * [StayForLunch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stayforlunch/) * (@stayforlunch) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-beaver-builder/#post-5808057) * Ooops, Well in fact you wouldn’t have to re-activate/deactivate sync a hundred times either. **You will need however to check if that works for you as I am not using the same page builder/theme as yours** –You can make your translations when sync is active. Apparently they are saved. When you deactivate sync, translations are then back at the right place in language-specific posts/pages.
