Biggest opportunity: “dynamic tags”, “elementor” and “multilingual” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 100K of 2.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    David, please finally update! The last update was 3 months ago and the current version of the plugin does not work with the latest version of Polylang. The site does not work with: WordPress version 6.8.1 Theme: Plox ver. 2.17.6 Polyland ver. 3.7.1 For the site to work I have to restore a backup before updating the Polyland plugin from ver. 3.7.1 to ver. 3.6.7 only then does it work.

    Connect Polylang for Elementor is an excellent plugin that bridges the gap between multilingual content creation and seamless website design. It offers an intuitive way to integrate Polylang’s powerful translation capabilities directly into Elementor, making it easier to create visually stunning, multilingual websites without additional complications. As someone who works with creative professionals and businesses, I’ve found this plugin invaluable for reaching global audiences. It’s especially helpful for platforms like FutureStarr.com, where artists and creators can showcase their work to a diverse audience. The combination of Polylang and Elementor ensures that your message resonates across languages while maintaining a professional design. Highly recommend this plugin for anyone looking to expand their digital reach!

    I use JetEngine to create custom post types and taxonomies, and I use Polylang Pro for translation. I also use this plugin to connect with Elementor. The default language of my website is English (EN) and the second language is French (FR). However, when I click on category links (i.e., taxonomies), even though the link is in English, it redirects me to French. for example:/service-cats/test -> /fr/service-cats/test My settings in the language section under URL modifications include: The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks.Hide URL language information for the default language.Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks. These settings have caused SEO issues for my website. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by seyedabbasseyedi.

    Just when you starting thinking about how you are going to display variations for a language-sensitive task, this plugin always saves the day. From displaying link variations in nav menus, to alternative buttons and widgets. An essential addon for any Elementor-based multi-regional site.The setup is so easy to understand and work with, with everything set to work the ‘Elementor way’.

    Good afternoon, I wanted to ask, I have ElementorPro, do I need to install Polylang Connect for Elementor + Polylang or will only Polylang Connect for Elementor be enough?
