I’m trying to add a custom locale file for our child theme to replace some clothing-specific text in June (we’re not a clothing store) but for some reason the hook isn’t working.
Please go to file functions.php in parent theme, find these lines:
/**
* Setup Language Directory and theme text domain
*
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function codeless_language_setup() {
$lang_dir = get_template_directory() . '/lang';
load_theme_textdomain('june', $lang_dir);
}
where lang folder is called and replace get_template_directory function with get_stylesheet_directory. So it will give priority to the child theme file instead of the parent.
Editing the parent theme will have to repeated whenever we update it, this should be possible through the child theme I’m just not sure why the hook isn’t working.
The strings in your child theme pot file are just changed, not translated to another language. What language do you have selected for the site to use?
If you want, you can send us some valid wp credentials in a private reply. So we can give it a closer look and help you configure what you want.
Let us know.
The child theme isn’t a language translation, just using the language file to update some strings to be more relevant to our products. “Similar Styles” wouldn’t make sense with our product catalog (we don’t sell clothing primarily), that’s why I’m changing it to “Similar Products”. There are a few strings like this that I need to change.
