Your plugin is still alive ?

Hi there!

WordPress has historically been very good at maintaining backwards compatibility – so I don’t see any reason why that should change in the coming years – so even if I don’t provide any updates to the plugin – it should work just fine for quite a while. Usually if things break – they’re easily fixable.

I do want to update the plugin to use the new WordPress editor eventually – but I have to find spare time to do that – as this plugin is only a side project for me, so there’s currently no pro version planned.

As for multilingual – I can’t tell for sure right now. The plugin should be compatible with WPML, but I haven’t tested that.

Gutenberg might eventually bring multilingual features to WordPress core, but I don’t know when that happens – probably in another 2 years or so (just a guess).

There are multiple plugins out there that help with translations – and they each have a very different approach to how translations technically work – I’d recommend you research the plugins a bit to see which of the translation plugins is the most compatible with other WordPress plugins and use that. Unfortunately – I don’t have any experience with them, so I can’t recommend anything.

Thanks for the answer. At least I know what to do now. A little bit pity because your plugin is the most elegant and easiest to manage a couple of simple functions to insert on a page or post. Anyway thank you for your job !

To clarify – I think you shouldn’t be looking for a new plugin. This one should work just fine for the coming years ??

Yes, you are right. But what I need two identical pages one in English and another in Russian. And just switcher between them. The problem is I can’t assign your plugin separate to each page because the plugin too much independent and lives alone as I understood right

There are multilingual plugins out there that might help with that. Here’s a list of few: https://onextrapixel.com/build-multilingual-site-wordpress/

If you find a plugin that works – feel free to get back to me so that I can let others know what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve worked in the past with WPML and if nothing has changed on their side, I think Easy Photography Portfolio and WPML should work together. I don’t know about others.

Easy Photography Portfolio relies on WordPress Core functions quite a bit, so I think it should be compatible with most of the solutions out there, but again – I have no idea and I can’t guarantee it.

Thanks, I don’t need that, WPML etc ! I can translate my content my self have a look here https://www.photograch.com/contact/ then switch to Russian. That’s it !I don’t need more. NO WPML no nothing. But Portfolio section in your case stand alone and I can’t install two yours plugin at the same time. Would be nice if I can assign your portfolio to two different pages and switch between

Ah, I see what you mean. Although it looks like https://www.photograch.com/contact/?lang=ru doesn’t work correctly at the moment.

In that case, portfolio entries are like blog posts – so whatever you’re doing to translate your blog posts you can also do to translate portfolio entries.

Yes, it does’t it’s another problem. OK in this case how to assign different portfolio entries to different pages ? Or may be categories will works in this case ?

May I suggest that you use translation plugin for that ?? ?

Alternatively – you could use categories, and so have people-en category and people-ru category, then link to them from your menu, but I’m not sure it’s the best solution for you.

You mean translation plugin will works better thаn damn switch ? And I should stop doing monkey business ? ??

A translation plugin is going to provide a damn switch ??

I know that, I thought less is better, but seems it’s not true in this case
