Excellent multilingual solution for creative projects
by djdimvol·6 days ago
Polylang is an essential tool for my WordPress projects. It handles multi-language support seamlessly, which is crucial for international music production websites. It’s lightweight, stable, and integrates perfectly with custom themes and plugins. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a professional multilingual presence!

Divi incompatibility
by Pierre_02·1 week ago·1 reply
I would have loved to continue using Polylang, but its complete incompatibility with Divi 5 forces me to turn to a working solution (WPML).
It was already complicated to use it under Divi 4 (with a workaround in a modified wpml-config.xml file in my child theme), but now that this workaround no longer works, it’s impossible to keep this plugin with the new version of Divi :(.
It would have been really great if the development team had worked on making the plugin fully compatible.
Fingers crossed that this will finally happen 🤞🏻
