 * Hello!
 * I just started using Personalblogily for my first selfhosted WordPress site and
   I like it very much! 🙂
 * One problem though:
    I can´t seem to find any way to change button texts. Right
   now they say “Read more” (on every blog post), “Next” and “Previous” (on pages),
   but since my blog is in Swedish I would like to translate them. I tried to find
   it in the CSS code, but couldn´t find it and in the graphical editor, all I can
   do is to change the colors.
 * Please help!
 * Thanks in advance! 🙂

 * Hi [@folkeserbe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/folkeserbe/) glad to hear
   you like the theme! Feel free to rate it 🙂 Hmm the next/previous one is actually
   a bit tricky since it’s a WordPress function that names it, so I haven’t specific
   written it anywhere, did you try changing language settings under general? The
   read more button can be found under template-parts/content.php

 * Thanks for your super quick reply! The template-parts/content.php did the trick,
   thanks a bunch! 🙂
 * The “next” and “previous” buttons seems harder. My language in general is set
   to Swedish, and those two buttons are all thats left in English. Is there any
   way for me to change them?

 * [@tobifjellner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobifjellner/) I did, but
   since I don´t know where to find the code I cannot use it?

 * When I look at [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/sv/default](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/sv/default)
   these strings seem translated.
    Perhaps there’s some issue with your site that
   stops the translations from loading? Have you tried to temporarily change the
   language setting for the site to US English and then back again to Swedish? The
   theme itself is not yet translated to Swedish, but the strings there seem to 
   mostly be related to back end. [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/personalblogily/sv/default](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/personalblogily/sv/default)

 * I´m very grateful that you are looking into this matter, sadly it didn´t help
   to change the language settings either.
 * Since I´m new to WordPress blogs I don´t understand exactly what those links 
   show, but as I understand it the “next” and “previous” buttons aren´t written
   in the theme itself but instead in the WordPress foundation?
 * I will try to check if there is something blocking the translation, I need this
   problem fixed! 🙂

 * By the way. I can’t visit your blog. I get redirected to a login page.
 * Next thing you can try is [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   
   It has a troubleshooting mode that may temporarily disable all your plugins and
   then let you toggle all your plugins on/off so that you can check if any plugin
   is interfering.

 * I know that you can´t visit it, it´s under construction and not visible yet (
   I´m using “Private site”). 🙂
 * I will definitely try the health check and report my results, thanks!
