I’ve been trying to translate the website with Polylango Pro for several weeks now. Every time I install the plugin, it goes haywire and gives me various errors. The homepage gets messed up, posts disappear, categories vanish, posts change position randomly, and the FooGallery galleries act independently.
I’ve contacted the Polylango support team several times, but they haven’t been able to resolve the issue. I wanted to know if you’re aware of any incompatibility with the newspaper plugin that might be causing these recurring problems.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately, the Polylang plugin hasn’t been officially tested with our theme, so we don’t know all the exact settings or how it behaves. That said, we have seen several users try it.
It’s possible that after installing and activating the plugin, you’ll need to reassign the cloud templates for each language manually. Usually, multilingual plugins try to set the templates from the default language automatically, but this isn’t always guaranteed. You’ll want to check that your articles, categories, menus, and templates are correctly assigned for your default language.
For the other languages, you’ll likely need to translate or duplicate pages and cloud templates, then edit them individually for each language.
If you want the most seamless multilingual experience with Newspaper, the recommended plugin is WPML: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/
Thank you very much.
I completely understand what you’re saying. In fact, as you can see in another ticket, we’re going to study the case with the Polylkang support team and a cloned website to see how to resolve the problem.
I can’t use the WPML plugin because my website has nearly 5,000 posts, and I have to use the premium version, which is prohibitively expensive for a website of this size.
Glad to hear that! The Polylang support team should be able to assist you further.
Thanks!
