[Support request] "Read more" button

[Sergei]

Hey all and Tom. I have question about “Read more” button. I wish to transle it in another two languages, but i have already translated in .po file, but no showing in website. Only can change in one language through custimization.

[Tom]

Try adding this:

add_filter( 'generate_excerpt_more_output', 'tu_translatable_read_more' );
function tu_translatable_read_more() {
    printf( ' ... <a title="%1$s" class="read-more" href="%2$s">%3$s</a>',
        the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ),
        esc_url( get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) ),
        __( 'Read more', 'generate-blog' )
    )
}

That should force it to use the .po file instead of the Customizer setting.

[Sergei]

Where can i put this code? In functions.php and additional css doesnt work for me.

[Leo]

Try one these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

[Sergei]

When i add this code in my child theme functions.php , my website shuts down with error.

[Sergei]

And one more question – how to translate Masonry +More button and Loading. And mobile Menu button.

Still waiting help for “Read More” button. Really dont know where to put that code

add_filter( ‘generate_excerpt_more_output’, ‘tu_translatable_read_more’ );
function tu_translatable_read_more() {
printf( ‘ … %3$s‘,
the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ),
esc_url( get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) ),
__( ‘Read more’, ‘generate-blog’ )
)
}

[Tom]

Try this instead:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'tu_translatable_blog_strings' );
function tu_translatable_blog_strings( $options ) {

    $options['read_more'] = __( 'Read more', 'generate-blog' );
    $options['masonry_load_more'] = __( '+ More','generate-blog' );
    $options['masonry_loading'] = __( 'Loading...','generate-blog' );

    return $options;

}

[Sergei]

Added in child themes functions.php , still no results.

[Tom]

What that function does is bypass the Customizer options so the .po file is used again. I assume you’ve added your custom .po file (generate-blog text domain) with the translations?

[Sergei]

I have three translated .po files. They doesn`t work for me. Because first start working Customizer options. So, what i write in Customizer, thats shows in all languages, that same word. Website no taking information from .po files but from Customizer first. Sorry for my english.

[Tom]

How are you showing the two other languages? Are you using a multilingual plugin?

[Sergei]

Im using qtranslate-x plugin.

[Tom]

Hmm, I don’t have much experience with it.

Have you asked them why it wouldn’t be working in this case?

[Sergei]

Hey again. Still dont resolve my problem.

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'tu_translatable_blog_strings' );
function tu_translatable_blog_strings( $options ) {

    $options['read_more'] = __( 'Read more', 'generate-blog' );
    $options['masonry_load_more'] = __( '+ More','generate-blog' );
    $options['masonry_loading'] = __( 'Loading...','generate-blog' );

    return $options;

}

Added this one im my child theme functions.php no results. In wp_contetnt/languages/themes added russian and latvian .po files still nothing. When i change in that code which are in functions.php “Read More” to “Lasīt vairāk” then it looks same in 3 languages no saperate. In EN “Read More”, LV “Lasīt vairāk” utc. I dont know hoe to fix that problem.

[Tom]

Those strings aren’t translatable in that folder. GP Premium translations are in wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/langs

However, you’d be better off using a plugin like Say What along with that function.
