It was in french before the update. googling around, all answers where about going to the source files, but my WP is hosted and I have no access (and I am quite new at WP) I have the loco translate plugin installed but i cannot find Read more in any of the files either * Where is it ? how can I translate it ?

It is not my site, I am helping and do not want to break everything by trial and error (would do if it was mine 😉 * By hosted, I mean i have no access to disk, I access the site only through the web, so anything that has to do with touching source code or files is impossible for me. * I have no access to a .php file to add any code. What annoys me is that it was perfect before the upgrade, so something got lost, but I am also sure nobody has done any code modifications before * Thread Starter [pat07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pat07/) * (@pat07) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978714) * Ok one step ahead. I managed to find the Read More in the .pot of my theme, I merge the .po with the fr-FR.po (using Loco plugin ), and translated the missing sentences I needed. I Save, the plugin says all is well, files have been generated and now ? I don’t see the translated words. Is there something else to do ? as I say my only access is through the WP admin interface. * Any idea of what else I should do ? thanks a lot. * [Chirag Aggarwal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thechirag/) * (@thechirag) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978752) * P.S. -> If you don’t have access to your files through web application or FTP( or SFTP) then You can try editing the code by going to Appearence-> Theme Editor * Thread Starter [pat07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pat07/) * (@pat07) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978771) * I have gotten a step more. I read the codex many times and found out this sentence: * Although the_content() is usually called from the template with a standard text as described above, it is possible to have an individual text for certain posts. In the visual editor, simply write . * Do I understand well that if I put * I should see Lire la suite instead of Read more ? * It doesn’t work, so can it be overridden by the theme ? Or am I missing something else ? thanks a lot for the help, I am quite new to wordpress. * [Chirag Aggarwal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thechirag/) * (@thechirag) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978788) * Try Finding “Read More” in your functions.php and edit it if found * Thread Starter [pat07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pat07/) * (@pat07) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978929) * I would like to not change the php files, but I am afraid it will be the only solution What I do not understand, is why I cannot implement the option described in the codex * Although the_content() is usually called from the template with a standard text as described above, it is possible to have an individual text for certain posts. In the visual editor, simply write . * that would also give me the possibility of modifying the wording depending on the page * Any idea ? thanks Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘read_more button translation’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [pat07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pat07/) * Last activity: [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read_more-button-translation/#post-6978929) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
