ERROR: Parent directory doesn't exist

    I have:

    Loco Translate 2.0.2 (latest version – updated)
    WAMP server 3.0.4 locally
    OnePress theme (free) 1.2.4.

    First of all, when I click ‘Locotranslate > Themes > Onepress’, I get in the OVERVIEW tab: Not fully configured
    This bundle may not work automatically with Loco Translate. Click the setup tab for more information.     I seem to have a partial configured bundle. I skip this warning.

    If I now click on New language, I can select WordPress language English (United States) & Choose the pre-defined location in Custom: C:\wamp64\www\wordpress_lb/wp-content/languages/loco/themes/onepress-en_US.po.

    However, If I press Start Translating, I get the message Error: Parent directory doesn’t exist.

    I followed your beginners guide & did all steps decribed.
    I have all folders available, I have the onepress.pot file… .

    The only thing that I do not see, is the onepress-en_US.po file in the C:\wamp64\www\wordpress_lb/wp-content/languages/loco/themes, but I guess that will be created as soon as I can start with the translation.

    I almost tried everything. I am admin user & all my folders have read/write/update/delete acces.

    Any clue?
    This would be helpfull.

    Thank you.

    Have you tried creating the parent directory? wp-content/languages/loco/themes

    I don’t have a problem with OnePress.

    I think the issue is related to you being on a Windows server. You should consider the current version incompatible with Windows servers until further notice.

    This is my parent directory:
    C:\wamp64\www\wordpress_lb\wp-content\languages\loco\themes
    so, it exists.

    Meaning, it does not work on the WAMP windows server. Am I correct?
    I will consider putting this site on a host.

    In the meantime, I will wait a while until further notice.

    Thank you, Tim.

    You are a perfect responder.

    I’ve just made some fixes for Windows file paths. If you could try the latest development version I’d appreciate it.

    I don’t currently have access to a Windows test environment, so until I do I’m relying on feedback before I push it live.

    Thanks.

    Dear Tim,

    I trunked via SVN update & now I am able to start a translation, so this works. I do not get any error messages anymore.

    The idea is to get my website in 3 languages so that customers can click on a eg. ‘en’ / ‘fr’ / ‘nl’ to see the website in their language. Onepress proposed your plugin & did not check if it was possible, but now I am in doubt if I can translate my contents?

    Anyhow, I like the way this help works & am glad that I was in a minor way halpful too.

    Regards,
    Hilde

    Thanks for letting me know. These changes are live in 2.0.3

    As far as I can see OnePress works fine with Loco. If need help translating specific strings though, you’ll have to ask them.
