 * Hi, thanks in advance for the plugin 😉
 * I have a problem, I installed wpadverts plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpadverts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpadverts)
 * And next, I went to translate it at LOCO Translate. Everything went fine, the
   plugin showed at our site in spanish.
 * Then, WPadverts had a “bug update”, so we had to update it, yer or yes.
    After
   updating plugin, the translation dissapeared and the plugin became again into
   english. But, we had downloaded a backup of PO and MO files: adverts-es_ES.po
   and adverts-es_ES.mo
 * So, we uploded thru FTP those files in wp-content/languages/plugins/ with 0755
   permissions, and because it didn´t work, we uplodaded them too in wp-content/
   plugins/wpadverts/languages
 * But, any of these worked, the plugin keept being in english. So we translated
   all sentece again, about 287 frases and SAVED.
 * But, nothing happened, the plugin still in english and there is no way of telling
   the system, that we want to use it again in spanish.
 * Can you help us please, the plugin admin at wpadverts told us to please ask you.
 * Thanks for your time and any help.

 * The location you’ve mentioned (`wp-content/languages/plugins/adverts-es_ES.mo`
   sounds correct. I cannot account for why this didn’t work.
 * Loco does not control the loading of MO files when you view your site, but looking
   at the wpadverts plugin just now, it seems this is the correct name and location.
 * If you’ve started moving files around manually, my guess is this is where things
   have gone wrong.

 * Hi and thanks for the answer Tim.
 * About moving files, we have being administrators for 2 decades, so it´s not a
   problem. We didn´t move the files just because … We checked that the translation
   at LOCO TRANSLATE, didn´t apply after translating it, the second time, after 
   updating the plugin wpadverts. So we went to check the files at those languages
   dirs at /wp-content if had the correct permissions. That shouldn´t be a problem.
 * Anything else for helping on why didn´t translate or recognize the files? If 
   they are there, and there aren´t any DB tables or anything that can call this
   files?
 * Thanks in advance for your help.

 * The plugin doesn’t have any DB tables of its own. It uses the WordPress transients
   API for caching. You can disable this by enabling WP_DEBUG mode, but I don’t 
   think this will help your problem.
 * As I’ve said, Loco Translate does not load MO files into WordPress. If the files
   are in the correct place with the correct names and with the correct permissions,
   then wpadverts will load them. If all these things are true and you don’t see
   translations, then I’m out of suggestions.
