OkI understand.
Someone wants to turn on WPML to see only item which is belonging to the selected language.
If you do not have this configuration as avada Element, the users can not control which items would be shown or hidden . So, the config WPML ON and OFF would be suitable for everyone.
At the begin of using your plugin, I think you created the config wpml on wrong way. But, No you are right.
Conclusion: I will create more shortcode on DE and ES and then I will turn off WPML setting. Last, I have to exclude some categories of other languages. Our problem is that we have a category with products only on English, but we want to display that on all languages.
how do you think about this solution ?
