Solution for Ally/Elementor + WPML using subdomain per language

Hey folks! I went through this exact problem: the Ally accessibility widget (Elementor) worked fine on my main site in Portuguese, but didn’t show up on the English version under /en/ using WPML.

After a lot of trial and error, here’s how I fixed it:

1. Set WPML to use “different domain per language”
   In WPML, under Languages, I switched to using a different domain for each language:

• Portuguese: in9ti.com
• English: en.in9ti.com

2. Created the subdomain in my DNS and pointed it to the same server
   I created en.in9ti.com in my DNS and pointed it to the same IP as the main site.
3. Updated my hosting panel (I use CloudPanel, but this works elsewhere too)
   I edited the Nginx Vhost config to add the subdomain as a server_name alongside the main domain: nginxCopiarEditar
   
   server_name in9ti.com www.in9ti.com en.in9ti.com;

Now, both the main and the subdomain open the same WordPress install.

4. Added both domains in the Ally/Elementor dashboard
   On the Ally dashboard, I registered both domains so the widget is active on both.
5. That’s it!
   Now the accessibility widget shows up and works great on both the Portuguese and English sites!

Hope this helps someone else stuck with this issue.
