Is there a way to change to RTL in english language,…
My language is not arabic, but I want website to be in RTL.
Please give me a solution. I could not find an opton to toggle between LTR to RTL. Its really urgent. I thought this theme is with that option.
I dont want my site to be in arabic.
I am from Maldives, we use a language called “Dhivehi”
Kind Regards
Beney
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this. What you can do though is to install WordPress in English then use this plugin to change to RTL: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rtl-tester/ Unfortunately this works only for admin users.
You can try to find a plugin similar to this, like:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rtl/

Hope this helps and sorry for the delay!
Thanks
Hi,
Please edit the style sheet and add this:
direction: rtl;
unicode-bidi: embed;
..to the body tag, like this: http://screencast.com/t/V5ey29qPk
You can read here about this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Ah, those are all very different and require a lot of identifying which elements to float right and in some cases actually reversing elements in template files (I believe). You may need custom work for that, although Lucian may say differently.
Hi,
Thanks TheMediumUTM!

As TheMediumUTM wrote you will need custom work to customize the rtl like that. From what I know I don’t think you can use rtl without using an arabic language, the theme also enables rtl when WordPress is installed in an arabic language.
You can try this solution, which might work:
* do normal english installation
* download a copy of arabic wordpress.
* copy the file wp-content/languages/ar.php from arabic version to english version
* go to wp-config.php and add define(‘WPLANG’, ’ar’);
Install Admin in English plugin after this if you need admin in english.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi,
You must create one and add <?php $text_direction = "rtl"; ?> like this: http://screencast.com/t/jmCmvMj1d
Other solution much easier would be to edit the rtl.css file and copy the css from there into the style.css file: http://screencast.com/t/0vmoXvGxyKM
Both files are situated in the root of the theme.
Thanks
