Hello Team,
We are facing some problems.
Our main web site is in french : http://www.digitalbusiness.africa
We’ve created an english version of the web site : http://www.digitalbusiness.africa/en
We’ve then Create an english footer with TD Composer.
Also a Category Page and a Single Post Page in english with Cloud Templates.
Every thing was fine.
But the problem appear when we go to Newspaper 9/Post settings, Newspaper9/Template Settings or Newspaper 9/Footer. There, when we choose the right cloud template in english or the right footer in english an then register, it automaticaly change both versions : footer and Page sample + Page Category, they all change. When we go and change to put the initial settings, both versions french and english display the same footer or the same single post template. Please can you help ? Thanks in advance !
Hi,
What you set in the theme panel will apply regardless of language. The theme panel settings are not per language if that is what you mean.
You can create pages in both languages, when the language is changed the page will change.
In case of the footer page, and using WPML for example, the footer page field containing the ID can be translated like so – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/translation-of-footer-pager-does-not-work/
I should note that cloud templates can’t be applied per language at the moment. let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
We created pages in both languages. Even in cloud templates. We don’t use WPML. We use Polylang. When you say that “cloud templates can’t be applied per language at the moment”, I understand that maybe it’s because of that. Please could you look at that on our web site ? And what can be the solution ? Thanks in advance!
Even the “Single post Page template” edited with cloud templates for the french version display also in the Single post page of the english version. But we’ve also created a “Single post Page template” for the english version…
Do you maybe use a child theme? There is an issue currently, the post templates don’t apply correctly when the child theme is active. We will fix this issue in the coming theme update. For the time being it would be best to keep it deactivated if possible.
I see the problem with the footer. It should be like this, if the initial language is French set the French page version in the footer. Then translate the footer page field with the plugin’s string translation (should be an equivalent in polylang similar to WPML)
– https://polylang.pro/doc/strings-translation/
The string that has to be translated (the one that contains the ID of the page used as footer page) is called “tds_footer_page”. When translating it for English enter the ID of the English page – http://prntscr.com/odxo12 so when the language is changed the footer page will chnage as well.
With WPML it works fine, but I haven’t tried it with polylang.
Please, what is a child theme ? we use newspaper 9.
Thanks for your response!
I thought a child theme is active – https://www.digitalbusiness.africa/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/style.css?ver=9.7.3
I could be wrong however, since the post templates seem to be applying properly.
Did you try the footer page suggestions that I mentioned above? I see that the footer page is still not changing per language. It should be possible with the polylang string translation, I didn’t make tests with this plugin unfortunately.
Hello,
Yes, you are right. It’s the “Newspaper 9 Child Theme” which is activated. How could I desactivate it without affecting the website ?
About the footer, I see that your suggestions are concerning the String Translations which can be modified throuh the database of the website. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to code. We paid someone to do that. If I could know the procedures how to do these string Translations, it coul be great.
Hi,
Depends on what the child theme contains. If you have custom CSS in it’s stylesheet you could move it in the theme panel dedicated CSS section. If you have code in it’s functions file, you could move it in the main theme functions for the time being.
In the next theme update the issue with the child theme will be fixed, also we will add more capabilities for it. So you can activate it then if needed.
I tried to translate the footer page with polylang, I created a page in two languages, but I can’t seem to find a way to change the ID of the page when the language is changed. I believe the string must somehow be added first, polylang doesn’t seem to find theme strings as WPML does automatically.
Hello, I’ve finally installed WPML. It’s OK. But sometimes, the theme is down. And the website look like this : https://prnt.sc/ohrhdv
Like the is no theme. Every ten minutes it breaks down like this and come back normaly for five minutes and breaks down again. Please, help me to fix it !
Thanks in advance!

Hello we have check and everything seems to be correct now!
But, after following your instructions as explained here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/using-with-wpml/
So, I’ve set up a footer page for english version and a footer page for french version (default language)
In cloud template, I’ve also created a Single post page temlate for french version and a Single post page template for english version.
My problems
Footer
To set the footer page of english version, when on Newspaper, I chose “footer english” like this https://prnt.sc/oiewul, the same footer display in both french and english version.
Please help me to fix it. To do that the footer page swicht from english to french when we navigate on french or english version.
For Sidebar
As I told you, I’ve created an english version of for the sidebar in Cloud Template. I even have the ID number of that page. But as explain here https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/using-with-wpml/ and here in String translation https://www.screencast.com/t/2tnXvxoQisMW, when I go at String Translation section in WPML on our website to put that ID page, I do not see where to integrate that ID Page. Because I can not found where ‘sidebar page’ is located. Here is what I see when I go to String Translation in WPML :https://prnt.sc/oif8hj.
I even tried to do the same with footer page but I did not found where the ‘footer page’ section is located in String Translation.
I’ve also tried to use another method to change the sidebar by using Newspaper Theme panel / Post Settings / Default post template. There, the both single page appears in back office. Like this : https://prnt.sc/oifg0r. When I chose ‘Single Cloud Template Anglais’ for the english version. It display on the both french and english version of the website.
Please I need a help! If you could have a look, it will be great!
Thanks in advance!
