Hi there,
First of all, please *briefly* try it with the default WordPress theme Twenty Seventeen.
Does it look all right with that?
With the best of regards,
Yes it looks excellent in Twenty Seventeen, but my question was how to show the forms from right to left?
Hello there,
It would appear that a bit of clarification is necessary.
Does it look excellent in Twenty Seventeen, *with* a right to left language?
Best of wishes,
I’d be happy to clarify further.
Using a right to left language alone works good no matter what the theme is.
The problem is that the whole form has to support right to left (for example, the whole text needs to be aligned to the right of the form. and the text boxes should be left of the text (The opposite from English, where the text is on the left and the text boxes are on the right).
I have meddled a bit with the plugin source code and found the file features/functions.php, I found in line 44 a check named is_rtl(), I have no idea how that function decides to return true or false but I changed that to true, that did half the job. So I am still looking for a solution which fully supports right to left forms
Hi there,
Sorry for insisting on this, but I need a clear answer on this testing with Twenty Seventeen.
Because first you say that using a right to left language alone works good no matter what the theme is. But then you say that it does not work good for forms.
My complete question is, therefore. Does the the Profile Builder form look all right in Twenty Seventeen with your RTL language?
The is_rtl() function appears to be a default WordPress function, described here. If it is not firing properly, then it must be a WordPress bug. Perhaps your language is not correctly marked as RTL. Try with another RTL language, maybe.
But first, please answer my complete question regarding the test with Twenty Seventeen.
I decided to attach images in order to clarify what I mean
Here is the form that contains the Hebrew language with the Astra theme (which is typed right to left):

As you can see, the result is quite similar and using Hebrew works good no matter what the theme is.
My problem is that the forms are not right to left aligned, for example, here is my desired result which I edited with paint:

I hope it is more understood now, if not, I’d be happy to clarify further.
Eventually I found a solution that is more or less adequate to what I wanted. I had to change my website settings to Hebrew for the whole form to the right aligned.
The problem is that not all the website is in Hebrew, which kind of sucks when a page in English is right aligned.
If there was a plugin-only locale that would have been the best solution
Hello there,
Yes, if you need WordPress to know that you’re using a RTL language, you need to select it as your website language.
Otherwise WordPress can not know.
Cheers,
Of course, but I wanted it to be plugin specific. Or even form specific, for example, for one form it will be right-aligned and for another left-aligned
Hey there,
Knowing this from the beginning would have saved us a certain amount of time, sorry that I forgot to ask for making it clear.
Best,
Gabriel
