Hello Paulien,
I’m sorry for the late reply – our work schedule is from Monday to Thursday.
>In all honesty I had to look up with a caching plugin is :), but no, I don’t use a caching plugin. I’ve also checked and the English translation of the About Schrijfkracht-page is still there, when I open that page on the back side, it actually says it is visible (status: public, to be precise).
As for my database’s tables: where do I find that?
Can you please open a ticket on our support page?
We will have to investigate this issue in depth.
>You asked if I was okay using conditional shortcode. I’m just a writer with a website that has been forced to dive in to it a bit more, so again, I’m not sure what you mean. Is conditional shortcode what I did when I copied the shortcode on the one page and just changed the web address it referred to?
Here is an example:
[trp_language language="en_US"]
//Reference written in English
[/trp_language]
[trp_language language="nl_NL"]
//Reference written in Dutch
[/trp_language]
Just wrap the references in the shortcode and only the one matching the selected language will be shown.
You can do this directly from your text editor.
>As for the last point: yes, I guess I wasn’t clear. I meant to say that not all the content in the first language needs to be translated into the second language. And that not all the content in the second language needs to be translated into the first. So I would like to have the flexibility to choose if I write a blog in Dutch or in English, without translating it into the other language. Is that possible with TranslatePress?
There are two ways to exclude pages from translation.
#1 Translate only certain pages add-on: https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/translate-only-certain-pages/
This experimental add-on lets you select which pages are translatable – however, it is still under development and your homepage will become untranslatable.
#2 Custom code
Create an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db
Add the following code to the end of it:
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages’, -1 );
function trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages(){
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘contact’);
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘home’);
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘test-page-page’);
foreach ( $do_not_translate_path as $path ){
if ( !empty($path) && strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], untrailingslashit($path)) !== false ){
add_filter( ‘trp_allow_tp_to_run’, function(){return false; } );
}
}
}
//Replace ‘home’ from $do_not_translate_path = array(‘home’); with what page you want to exclude from translation
Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality
Keep me updated!
Best regards,
