I have changed the wording of some of the fields on the add listing page through the language files following the instructions here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/

but all my wording edits have reverted back. In the PO file they look to be still intact however.

Hi Danielle,

Could this be a cache issue? Try clearing the cache and see if you’re able to see the changes. If the issue persists, do you think you can share temp admin access to your site so we can take a better look? Also, we would require FTP access to your server to check on the language files. You can post the details here using the private reply option below.

Thanks!

Hi,

I quickly checked the 1st translated string (Region to State) and it’s there.

Can you give me an example of a string that should be translated and it isn’t?

Let me know,

Thanks

Please see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/change-logs/

Text
```
Listing Title
```
and
```
Listing Description
```
changed to CPT specific – CHANGED

Please update your po file with the latest version and you will be able to translate it again.

We split the 2 words so that it can be done uniquely for each CPT.

Thanks

No need, you can update your current PO file with poedit.

1. download the NEW PO file on your desktop.

2. Open your OLD file (the one with translations) with poedit, click on catalogue and Update from POT file.

3. it will ask to select the New file.

that will add the new translations to your old file.

Thanks

Where do I get the New PO file? I copied it from /wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-languages/geodirectory-en_US.po but it didn’t seem to fix it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks as though I can’t change the name of places on the back end or Place Title or Place Description because it pulls it from the CPT?

You can change the Custom post type names m using the custom post type add-on.

Or you can translate “place” too.

Thanks

I’m sorry to be a pain. But I have translated place and it works everywhere expect for the backend menu Place Title or Place Description am I missing something?

I can install the custom post type add on but i’m not using a custom post type, I just want place to be called listing.

It is be possible to translate everything, so there must be a string missing somewhere. However the CPT add-ons will make you change it via options. I would suggest to install it, even if you are using it only to rename the default CPT.

Thanks
