Language files aren't loaded

    Hi, there’s an incompletion in the translatability of your plugin. I’ve solved it here and thought you might want to know.

    I needed to translate your plugin to the Dutch language and have done so first using CodeStyling Localization plugin and (when I noticed that translation wasn’t being picked up, and doubting if I done it right), also tried Loco Translate. The .po and .mo files where generated correctly, but the widget stayed in the English language.

    Looking at the source code I noticed that you do put the strings in a textdomain but (not being a wordpress programmer) couldn’t yet find where it said where translations should be placed and how they where linked to the plugin.

    I at last found the answer in this page on wpmudev, and after editing my version of your plugin with the code they provided it worked immediately. It’s probably something that should be added in your version too?

    What I added at the end of file genesis-featured-page-advanced.php was:

    add_action('plugins_loaded', 'fpa_load_textdomain');
function fpa_load_textdomain() {
	load_plugin_textdomain( 'genesis-featured-page-advanced', false, dirname( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '/languages/' );
}

    It includes the language files from “/wp-content/plugins/genesis-featured-page-advanced/languages/”

    If you’ld like a translation in the Dutch language, I’m willing to share the files if you tell me where to send it.

    Thanks for the plugin.

    Kind regard,
    Hans

    Hi Hans,

    Thank you very much for catching this! I am actually on vacation right now until early next week, but I will get this fixed and push out a new version by the end of next week (with your other suggestion as well).

    I also would love to include the Dutch translation if you are willing to share. Please send to [email protected] and I will get them included. I will credit you on the plugin description page.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Hans,

    I believe I addressed all the issues with translation (I hope!). The custom page title option has also been added. If you find anything that I might have missed, you have my email! I chose to included a .pot file for the time being. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your translation though.

    Best,
    Nick
