I see now that several other of my translated phrases now are in English again too, not only the review area – maybe it is because I had to update to the newest version of the theme? If so, how do I go about translating them again – should I download a new .pot file and translate the whole thing one more time? Or is there any way I can reuse the old one?

Hi,

I’m not seeing them at the homepage, can you enable them again so we can have a look?
Thanks

The Primary category thing is really not a big deal for me – I ended up just disabling the breadcrumbs and am fine with that for now. I’m more concerned with the translation issue I mentioned in my last reply – do you have any advice?

Hi,

You should place the translations inside a child theme, to avoid that the updates delete the translations you made.

add the line below to the functions.php of your child theme, and create the directory languages inside the child theme and place there all translated files.

load_child_theme_textdomain( 'swiftframework', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );

I wasn’t really planning to keep updating the theme, as I don’t have much time left of the free support. Will it be OK to just keep the theme as it is, or will it be a problem not to keep updating?
As I’ve mentioned earlier in the thread, I’m very hesitant to download the child theme. (Earlier I downloaded the theme twice by accident, and everything went pear-shaped and I had to have WordPress reinstalled.) Can I fix it by just translating the whole thing again? If so, do I do it in the same manner by editing the .pot file, or can I reuse anything from the last time I did it?

You will always want the theme/plugins to kept updated.

The child theme is only activated like a normal theme, nothing should go wrong upon activation – are you using the child theme we supply?

You would need to use new .pot file to create a new translation .po/.mo file and then add that to your child theme.

I’m not really sure if I’m currently using the child theme or not – how can I tell?
If not: How do I install it? And will installing it make any visible changes to my website?

We will need admin access to check it or send us a screenshot of Appearance-> Themes.

You only have the parent theme installed, when you install the child theme you will see another Atelier Thumbnail that says also child theme.
