You do that by following these steps: * 1. Temporarily switch your theme back to the [Storefront](https://woocommerce.com/products/storefront) theme (it’s free) 2. Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce 3. Test to see if the issue has been resolved. 4. If that resolves the issue, then slowly re- enable features until you find the one that’s causing the conflict. * This is best done on a staging site. That’s a copy of your live site, so you can test things out without making changes to your actual site. Some hosting companies offer a staging site service within their hosting plans. If yours does not, there is a great free plugin that will allow you to build a complete staging site with a few button clicks: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging). * Thread Starter [APPWEB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/appweb/) * (@appweb) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-change-default-sorting-2/#post-12266307) * Ok – many thanks, i will try that… * Do you now why my translate not keep after update woocommerce i am using Loco Translate, i have translate “add to cart” in to another danish word, but when i update woocommerce it goes back to the standart word….WHY………….?? * Regards AppWeb Denmark * Plugin Support [Aashik P – a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aashik/) * (@aashik) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-change-default-sorting-2/#post-12266680) * Hi there! * Translations on my local WooCommerce installation does not seem to change automatically. I followed the instructions in [Creating custom translations with Loco Translate – Documentation](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/#section-6) to set it up. * That said, please do note that WooCommerce does not come with a built-in option that enables you to translate strings. For assistance with using LOCO, you can reach out to their support team at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/loco-translate/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/loco-translate/) * I’ll mark this topic as solved for now.
