Can't save to Loco folder

    Hi support,

    I need to amend wording in my theme WPLMS and just need to change it in the same language, i.e. English US. So when going into Loco home page and clicking on my theme it drops down a whole list of languages that I assume the theme author has provided. I can go in and make the changes fine. However it doesn’t save to the custom folder Loco so I would lose changes in an update. I assume this is because you don’t get the option to select where it will be saved unless you go in and add a new language (as per the guide). Is this the case?

    Thanks in advance.

    Following on from my post above: I can see that the new files are being saved into wp-content/themes/wplms/languages rather than wp-content/languages/loco/themes.

    To check I have done things right I created a loco sub-folder of wp-content/languages and then made the themes and plugin folders sub-folders of the new loco folder. This gives me the file path of wp-content/languages/loco/themes (or plugins).

    As I pointed out in my previous post is it that I am not selecting the path to save to through the add languages step which I can’t or don’t need to do as the language is already there?

    I would really appreciate some help as I am not a developer and am on a learning curve with this sort of thing.

    Thanks in advance.

    I recommend you do add a new language file and select the custom save location. You need only translate the strings you want to override. Missing translations should fall back to the author-supplied file.

    Hi Tim

    Thanks for the reply. I shall do as you suggest. I assume that the way I organised the loco and other folders is correct then as you haven’t mentioned that?

    your loco subfolder looks correct to me.
