OK – I understand the sequence. What I was really meaning is what happened with the ftp. What did you do and what happened?
I uploaded the unzipped plugin files with filezilla to the specified folder on the host-server. (wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins)
Then started up WP and went to the forum admin section, looked for available plugins, it said no plugins found
Maybe the specified directory isn’t the right one, as the plugins are NOT vissable in the forum admin section….
I can’t see/find ANY uploaded plugin in this section, in fact I only wanted the forum (button)language to be changed in dutch…..
Go to the forum admin > integration > storage locations. Look for the forum plugins folder. Is it marked as readable and writable? In fact – are all the folders marked as readable and writable?
By the way – is it that you just want your forum in Dutch or do you genuinely want the language switcher (which only switches labels – not content of course). If you just want your forum in Dutch then you don’t use this plugin for that but visit our translations site.
All folders are marked as readable/writable, and yes, I only want the labels to be written in Dutch. I downloaded the “.mo” file from the translations site and copied it (with filezilla) in the specified folder, no result. I also tried copying it in several other folders, no result.
In fact, I can’t get ANY plugin to be working in SP. Could it be it has something to do with updating SP to the latest version, or should I change settings somewhere in the admin sections?
Firstly – did you follow the instructions in this codex article on how to install the language files?
if you did AND assuming that the translation of the Simple:Press core plugin is complete then load your forum page and click on the acknowledgements icon in the footer – the little ‘i’ – to see if some or all of that has been displayed in your language.
Again assuming it HAS been translated and assuming you have the filename and WP config connection correct and if you are still seeing it in English then yes – there is a reason SP is not pulling material from your server. and no – of course it has nothing to do with versions.
So – if you are STILL having the problem you may need to check the UID and GUI of the server sp-resources folder and its children. It should be the same as the parent wp-content folder but we do come across a server every now and then that wont allow us to create the folders SP needs properly.If you do not know what the UID and GID permissions are then I would strongly suggest you ask your hosting support to check them for you.
If you DID see translations in the acknowledgement popup then things are working as they should and the reason most of your site is not showing in your language is because most of the displayed text is derived from the SP theme you are using NOT the core. You will need to install the theme MO file as well.
I’ve printed out the “how to install the language files” document.
Also installed the language files in the specified directories, now it comes to changing the language code in the wp-config.php file.
Can you explain how to get there, and even better: how to make these changes? (language code is du)
‘du’? The correct language code for Holland/Dutch is ‘nl’ not ‘du’…
So the main core Simple:Press language file should be named sp-nl.mo.
The wp-config.php file is in the root folder of your site,. it is the one you had to set up with your database and language details when WordPress was first installed. Look for the WP_LANG setting in that file.
HAPPY!!!!!
Got everything working now!
First I have overwritten WP with a dutch version and changed the WPLANG file in nl_NL. After that renamed the SP language files from “nl” to “nl_NL” and now both the WordPress- and the forum buttons are in dutch.
@Moderators:Thanks for your support!!!
Excellent. And that also means your folders are Ok to be used which is also good.
