    Hello Roman… I kinda sorted out the problem. I noticed that the footer widget allows me to show/hide it in Italian or English pages… So basically, seen that the only element that changes is the quick menu, all I had to do was adding both the menus to the footer and activate/deactivate each of them depending on the language.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I tried WooSidebars and even if on this occasion I couldn’t ‘t use it, I am sure I will in the near future…

    Hello Roman,
    Thank you for helping me with this.

    In the past, I used Elementor – Header, Footer and Blocks.
    I tried to use this plugin on this site too but it seems it doesn’t replace the footer I created when the site was just one language.

    Do you know if this may depend that the fact that the plugging isn’t compatible with the theme used (Airi)?

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Hey thanks!

    I actually sorted out discovering that Woocommerce uses some tags to include in pages. In this way I can add my stile and the products under a short description as if it was a block.

    In this way I managed to create the page.
    I just tweaked some css to fit the style of the page (some tests, colora, etc).
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Ah if someone has the same problem please feel free to contact me!

    Hi Roman,
    Thank you for the heads up.

    I thought the previous message wasn’t sent and I created a second, forgive me for the trouble.

    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!

    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?

    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 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 🙂

    Hello again!
    I promised this is the last time I write about this…

    I finally found a solution that works!!!!! YEEE!!!

    Basically I installed the “Header and Footer Elementor” Plugin that allows you to create custom header and footer.
    Now the problem is that the plugin just works on 5 themes… but here is the magic… I found a nice article that allows you to alter the header.php and footer.php files in order to activatew this plugin.
    In my very case all I wanted was to use it as a footer, so I just changed the footer.php file… BUT IT WORKS!!!

    If you had similar problems the link to the documentation is
    https://github.com/Nikschavan/header-footer-elementor/wiki/Add-support-to-Header-Footer-Elementor-from-the-Child-Theme

    I hope this will help someone else in may same situation.
    I’m considering to buy the full version of Elementor as I find it quite handy… but before doing it I prefer to create my landing page with what I have and then decide.

    Thank you very much for your help! You are precious!!!!

    I made some progresses but still this has becom harder than I expeted.

    Basically seen that with Elementor basic it isn’t possible to customise the footer I decided to hard coding it and include into the footer widget of the theme I’m using… Big problem everything is wrapped into small divs and I have no idea ho wo make it work properly…

    I tried to write html and css and include them (html into the “insert html” widget inside of the footer widget, and css into the style css of the child theme).

    The result is weird as I got two small bars (I wrote it full width).
    Because of this, hard codin it is out of discussion 🙁

    Do you have better ideas on how to insert a footer?

    FYI this are html and css of the footer

    HTML:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    	<title>Footer</title>
    	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="footer.css">
    </head>
    <body>
    	<div class="contenitore larg-piena">
    		<div class="footer-cont1 larg-piena">
    			<div class="larg-int">
    				<span class="testo-norm">Prova1</span>
    			</div>
    		</div>
    		<div class="footer-cont2 larg-piena">
    			<div class="larg-int">
    				<span class="testo-norm">Copyright - B&b Cinque Teste | All Rights Reserved</span>
    			</div>
    		</div>
    	</div>
    </body>
    </html>

    CSS:

    body{
    	margin: 0px;
    }
    
    .footer-cont1{
    	background: #444;
    }
    
    .footer-cont2{
    	background-color: #000;
    }
    
    .larg-piena{
    	width: 100%;
    }
    
    .testo-norm{
    	color: white;
    	font-family: "Roboto", Sans-serif;
    	font-weight: 400;
    	font-size: small;
    }
    
    .larg-int{
    	width: 1140px;
    	margin: auto;
    	padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
    }

    Hello again… I kinda managed to find a soluition {indecent solution I’d say}.
    Basically I switched to the twenty seventeen theme. I managed to alter the header adjusting the position of logo and links.

    What I came out with is adding custom html to the widget of the footer, creasting two versions {one for the italian and another for the english}.

    Problem will be that any alteration to the footer will have to be don “hard coding” changing the html code written.

    I’m using basic elementor as page builder {that doesn’t include footers}.
    The advantage is that I can chose what widget to use and in this way not caring too much about polylang.

    Do you think this is a good solution? I’m writing here also to get a little of self confidence as this solution seems quite tricky.

    Thank you for your help guys!
