Option to link pages between different sites/directories

Hi there,

could you please elaborate a little? What exactly is your setup, and what would you like to do/achieve?

You can, of course, link an existing post in a particular site to a specific post in another site.
I don’t understand the part “I can’t edit each page to copy/paste the translated content”, though.

Kind regards,
Thorsten

Thank you for the reply.

I’ll try to explain better.

I have some sites on the same WordPress network. All the sites must look the same, since they are just translations from the original, which is why I’m using your plugin.

But my main website have almost 400 pages, and all the translated versions have the same amount.

But as far as I understood, to add the translations to each page, I must edit each page and add the translations text on the extra fields that your plugin adds to the page edition page. This would be unmanageable for me due to the size of my websites. All the translated pages already exist in my WordPress.

What I want to know, is if there is a way to say: “Hey Page1, those are the translated versions of you” by selecting the pages that already exist in the WordPress network but in different sites.

I hope it makes sense now.

Greetings

Daniel

Hey Daniel,

links between pages (we call them content relations) are not directed; they just exist, or they don’t. That being said, if you have a post in site A related to a post in site B, and you want to relate a post in another site C to the one in site A, it is automatically related to the post in site B—so you can see relationships as groups of related posts, each from another site.

If you edit a post (or page), you should see several Translation meta boxes (one for every other site). In these meta boxes, you can find a button labeled Change relationship. Click it, choose the radio input labeled Select existing post …, and then select (or maybe first search) your desired target post. After this, save the changed relationship by clicking the button labeled Save and reload this page. Note that this will first fire an AJAX request, and then reload the page. So be sure to save any changes to the original post before.

Then scroll down to the next language (i.e., site), and do the same…

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Thorsten

Oh perfect!

I didn’t see that option to select existing post.

Great!

So, since your plugin is free, I’d like to give you a 100% discount coupon for one of my programming language books: https://leanpub.com/u/dpedrinha

If you like any of them, just let me know.

And thanks for the great plugin.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for the kind offer. I’m afraid I won’t find time to read soon, though. :/

Would you mind writing a short review for MultilingualPress instead? This would mean a lot to us.
And with better (and more) reviews, MultilingualPress might get more popular, which in turn means more users, and thus eventually highly motivated developers and supporters. ??

Kind regards,
Thorsten
