Polylang 2.6.+ Compatibility Issues

Hi,

I’ve made a lot of tests!

Since the version 2.6.x of Polylang (tested up to 2.6.4):

1) It’s definitely not possible to edit a page which contains a global if this page is not assigned to the default language.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

a) Let’s say my default language is French.
b) I create a new English page with Elementor, I create a Global Widget (*) in it and I save the page.
c) If I try to re-open this page with Elementor, it freezes and offers me the “Safe Mode”

2) When editing a page with Elementor, only the Global Widgets in the default language are displayed in the “Global” tab.

Steps to reproduce the problem :

a) (My default language is still French).
b) I create a new English page with Elementor, I click on the Global tab in the side bar and I don’t see the Global Widget (*) created in my example above.
(But I see all the French Global Widgets.)

With the 2.5.x versions, I don’t have any of the two problems above…

Another problem I noticed:

If I try to edit two pages assigned to two different languages with elementor at the same time. (Why I am doing this? 😉 )

Let’s say I edit an English page and a French page at the same time, if I try to add a template on each of the pages, two things can happen :

1) If I try to add a template on the French page: only the English Templates are listed | If try to add a template on the English page: only the English Templates are listed (normal behaviour).
2) If I try to add a template on the French page: only the French Template are listed (normal behaviour) | If I try to add a template on the English page: only the French Template are listed.

And a last thing:

When a translation is create from a page which contains a Global Widget, I think that this (and any) Global Widget should be automatically un-global-ized.
Currently, if I want to create an English translation from a French page which contains a Global Widget :

1) I have to duplicate this page. (I use the Duplicate-Post extension)
2) In this copy, I unlink the global, assign this page to English, I type the name of the French page (in the field at the right of the pencil) and save.
3) The copy is now the translation page.

Hi Brad,

That’s strange…
As I said above, I tested up to the 2.6.4 version. I still have the problem.

If I create a page in English (default language is French), edit with Elementor, add a Global (once the Global is created, I can see it in the Global tab.), save and close the page.
If I try to re-open this page, Elementor Crashes.
If I try to access the Global widget I just created from another page (in English) I don’t see it.

Same problem for me.
