Footer text of Themeoptions in string translations

    Hi Chouby,

    I have installed your Polylang plugin on my local testwebsite to make it work for every part of the website before installing and configure it on my online website.

    It works good, but I want to get my footer text, which I have to define in the theme options in wordpress, in the strings translations page of your plugin. I use a purchased theme by the way.

    This is the code in my footer.php:

    $show_footer = $data[‘show_main_footer’];
    pll_register_string(‘show_footer’, $show_footer)

    and this in my template file:
    <?php get_footer (pll_($show_footer)); ?> (without the get_footer and with echo it doesn’t appear on the webpage)

    Unfortunately, the string doesn’t appear in the strings translation page of your plugin. What am I doing wrong?

    I tried different solutions from the forum, but none of them worked.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi

    This is the code in my footer.php:

    $show_footer = $data[‘show_main_footer’];
    pll_register_string(‘show_footer’, $show_footer)
    What am I doing wrong?

    footer.php is visible on the customer side, not admin side. function.php does both.

    The best way is to create a wpml-config.xml wiht just the ‘admin_texts’ part.

    Hi,

    I created the wpml-config.xml file like this

    <wpml-config>
	<admin-texts>
		<key name="Practical WP-options">
			<key name="footer_text" />
			<key name="home_widgets_title" />
			<key name="latest_projects_title" />
		</key>
	</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

    and put in the folder /wp-content/polylang/. Unfortunately it still doesn’t work. I don’t know what’s wrong, because the options are in an array in my database and according to other posts about this subject this is the right way to define it in the xml file.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    Solved! I had to use an underscore instead of a minus.
