Hi. I would like to RTL my whole site but I want to keep my Admin panel in English. I have a child theme too. If I localize WordPress then my Admin will be in Arabic.

Thanks

Hi,

Hi Marius,

I don’t want to try RTL. I want to activate RTL as the theme supports it. I want to do that to the front site and keep Admin in English. May you help?

Hi,

You could try to use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/english-admin-rtl-site/
I’m not sure if this will work though as it seems it hasn’t been updated from more that 2 years.
I suggest you also try to find a solution for this online as I’m not sure how you could do that or if you could.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the message!

Ok.

How can I activate RTL? I have added the folling code in wp-confing but nothing changed:

define('WPLANG', 'ar_AR');

Hi,

Install the arabic wordpress then use this plugin to switch the backed to English – https://wordpress.org/plugins/english-wp-admin/http://screencast.com/t/P6dro0WpFFw9http://screencast.com/t/5wNvkcbRP

The frontend will remain RTL.

Thank you, Emil G.

I installed the Arabic wordpress. But now the layout is messed up! Check the arrows (left and right), and also excerpts. http://news.kfupm.edu.sa/site/

Hi,

Unfortunately the Newsmag theme doesn’t support RTL, you will need to adjust this via custom css.
For left/right arrows please use this custom css: http://screencast.com/t/mszChNXHt

.td-icon-menu-right:before {
content: '\e807' !important;
}
.td-icon-menu-left:before {
content: '\e808' !important;
}

Thanks!

.td-icon-menu-right:before { content: ‘\e807’ !important; }
.td-icon-menu-left:before { content: ‘\e808’ !important; }

You did not use the right quotes, please copy code that I provided to you in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/irm5sfVshttp://screencast.com/t/Dv8Pcxi9hx
