Child Theme install

    Hi there, I’ve followed your instructions to the letter, however there is absolutely no mention about child themes and how to configure them properly. I’ve done a search on your site and turned up nothing.

    Could you please provide some guidance on how to install your plugin to a child theme? I get an “Partially configured bundle” when I try to do it. From what I’ve gathered it may have something to do with the child function.php file?

    I tried installing the plugin on the parent theme and it worked fine, but installing it on the active child theme is proving difficult.

    Thanks!
    Ashley

    The reason there’s no mention of child themes is that the process is exactly the same. If the child theme is set up in a standard way Loco Translate will just work.

    There’s nothing special about child themes. PHP files in your child theme can use existing translations from the parent theme without doing any special setup at all. Child themes can also define and load their own custom translations via their own Text Domain in exactly the same way that parent themes do.

    It would help your request for help if you’d indicate which of these things you are trying to do, or if you’re trying to achieve something else.

    Going back to your “Partially configured bundle”:
    Seeing this means your child theme is not set up in a standard way and requires that you configure Loco Translate to understand it. Start here: https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/bundle-setup

    What’s do I mean by standard? Here’s a help page about the localisation conventions that Loco Translate understands: https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/authors

    If this information is too technical and you’d like me to tell you what’s wrong with your child theme setup, then please post download links to your parent and child themes.
