[Resolved] Polylang on Mellow theme

[Prava]

Hi there!
I’m newbie on creating websites. I’ve tried several times to activate Polylang v.2.6.9 on Mellow/site library theme.
Each time I activate Polylang plugin, the Mellow layout breaks down, at least on HomePage everything gets damaged.
Would it be possible to assist me further?

Hi there,

Sorry what exactly breaks down when you activate Polylang?

Can you activate it so we can see the issue?

Let me know 🙂

Hi,
The Polylang plugin is activate (English + Romanian, English=default).
The website is here, with default Mellow theme, fresh installed, no changes made:
https://tsea.ro/

So looks like you’ve lost all the posts content?

And the default page comes back when you deactivate Polylang?

Yes, the default page comes back when I deactivate Polylang.

Can you try resaving your permalink settings and see if that helps?

I saved settings.
When I activate Polylang, looks like I’ve lost all the post content.
Maybe you can install Polylang plugin on Mellow theme and check what’s wrong

Do you still see the posts listed under Dashboard > Posts?

And make sure the front page display is still the latest posts.

I tried to change the Mellow theme, it seems whole WordPress platform crashed 🙂
Now, I can’t even access the WP dashboard and no even reinstall WP 🙂

[Leo]

That’s weird. Your site is still accessible live.

It doesn’t have anything to do with which template you are using from the library – it’s all using GeneratePress as the theme.

Can you check with your hosting support to see if they can get your dashboard access back?

I installed again the Mellow theme on a fresh WP. When I activated Polylang, everything went well. When I added English and Romanian Languages, looks again like I’ve lost all the post content.
Would it be possible to activate the Polylang plugin on your demo theme and check it? Definitely you’ll dewscover what I’ve done wrong?

[Leo]

Any chance you can check with Polylang’s support to see if they’ve seen similar issues before?

I feel like there are some settings within their plugin that needs to be tweaked.

Let me know 🙂
