Update an Elementor XML rule when a widget’s saved field structure changes or the current mapping does not point to the intended text. A change to the XML configuration can affect later extraction, so make a focused edit and verify it on a representative page.
Open the Elementor configuration
- Open Languages → TranslateSense when Polylang is active, or Settings → TranslateSense otherwise.
- Select the Elementor tab.
- Choose Edit ELEMENTOR Config to review the builder’s XML, or choose the widget’s Edit Config control to edit that widget’s rule.
- Find the widget by its exact identifier and inspect the configured field paths.
Make and save a focused change
- Update only the field path or mapping detail that needs correction.
- Keep the XML structure and closing tags balanced. Nested field paths may use the
>separator. - Select Save Config.
- If saving fails, read the validation error and correct the XML syntax before trying again.
Verify the result
- Test a page that uses the affected widget and field.
- Confirm the expected text is extracted and the translated output is correct.
- Check that the rule has not unintentionally included style, layout, or unrelated fields.
- If the field is still missing, review Understand Content Field Mapping and the Elementor troubleshooting guide.
TranslateSense validates XML syntax before saving the configuration, but a syntactically valid rule can still point to the wrong field. Always check the translated result after an update.
