After forcing Polylang to rewrite the row by activating “Detect browser language”, the entry changed to `s:10:" post_types";a:1:{i:0;s:1:"1"}` but neither the language panel appeared in Gutenberg nor the “Custom post types and Taxonomies” panel in Languages>Settings was active. * Frustrated, I tried changing the entry to `s:10:"post_types";a:1:{i:0;s:4:"post";}` and even to `s:10:"post_types";a:1:{s:4:"post";i:1;}` but nothing worked. * Every test has been done with as vanilla an environment as possible, in particular troubleshooting mode, the Twenty-Twenty-Three theme, no Must-Use plugins (other than ‘Health Check & Troubleshooting’), all caches purged prior to enter troubleshooting( which disables all plugins). The language panel in Gutenberg works when editing a page, as I said earlier, but not with posts. * If anyone pays attention to this forum, and has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. * _Rafael_ - This reply was modified 6 months, 1 week ago by [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/).

I am in one of those “third world countries” discussed in the thread you sent. Am I correctly assuming that I should use the latest attachment, i.e., [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/64350/make-checkbox-usable-again.1.1.zip](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/64350/make-checkbox-usable-again.1.1.zip)?

It is getting late here, I will go ahead with your suggestions tomorrow morning. * Thanks for the help! _Rafael_ * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Checkmarks disappeared (6.9 issue?)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/) * Thread Starter [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/) * (@drrxbracho) * [6 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/#post-18749831) * Sorry, I didn’t know about the edits. I did a “Purge All” in Lightspeed, enabled Troubleshooting mode and switched to Twenty-Twenty-Five before going to the “ All Posts” page and seeing the same behavior as before. I see that Twenty-Twenty- Five has an update I haven’t installed (I use Twenty-Twenty-Three) but I doubt that would fix it, would it? * The reason I zero in on Javascript is that the checkboxes are operating correctly, I can set and unset categories in the posts but without a checkmark showing whether it is set or unset. And the same behavior was introduced in the login page (the“ Remember Me” checkbox). Whereas I don’t go checking and unchecking categories often, I have to login a lot because I switch my writing from the desktop to my mobile phone. I first saw the checkbox problem in the login page after moving to 6.9. * Thanks, _Rafael_ * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Checkmarks disappeared (6.9 issue?)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/) * Thread Starter [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/) * (@drrxbracho) * [6 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/#post-18749813) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/), yes, my tests were done under Troubleshooting mode, using the Health Check plugin you mentioned. I do use the Lightspeed cache plugin but Troubleshooting mode disables it as well (I just checked) and therefore I cannot purge the caches while in that mode. * I still don’t think it is related to a plugin but to a change in Javascript that apparently introduced an incompatibility. * _Rafael_ * P.S. I edited this comment because I hadn’t seen your second reply. - This reply was modified 6 months, 1 week ago by [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Checkmarks disappeared (6.9 issue?)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/) * Thread Starter [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/) * (@drrxbracho) * [6 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkmarks-disappeared-6-9-issue/#post-18749603) * Thanks for your reply [@janemathew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janemathew/). I followed your suggestion of clearing the browser cache and refresh but it did not fix the issue. I also checked the console, cleared it and brought the “All Posts” page without errors. I then changed the categories of a post by clicking and updating in “Quick Edit” (without seeing the marks) and the categories were modified, so the checkbox is working but there is no tick mark. Again, there were no error when I did all that. As for plugins, I did all this under “Troubleshooting mode” which disables all plugins and sets the environment to a default plain theme. * I can almost swear that the problem began when I moved to 6.9 but I’m not positive, it may have already been there just before. What I do know is that the checkboxes had ticks when selected in a very recent past. * Thanks again for your suggestions, _Rafael_ * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [RSS subscription to my Gutenberg blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-subscription-to-my-gutenberg-blog/) * Thread Starter [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/) * (@drrxbracho) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-subscription-to-my-gutenberg-blog/#post-18389932) * Thank you.

With that, I have a workaround: I duplicate the blocks, a set for each language with exclusive visibility when it is the default language. So, I’ll just have double pagination- next and -previous blocks. * In general, the whole issue of internationalization with block themes is very weak, but the blocks themselves help kludge something that works. I’m sure there are efficiency penalties, etc. * Thanks for the help, I’ll close the issue. * _Rafael_ * PS. I just went to GitHub, the issue you opened, and the response will be that calling `esc_html__()` is an error when called with non-static strings, a feature of how `gettext()` works, it seems. What the block needs is an overall I18N strategy for block themes, I think. - This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [Rafael Bracho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/).

That said, the default strings are translated, so if another theme didn’t override the default, the bug will not show up. * I don’t have a sandbox where to test changes, but I believe it’s a matter of modifying the blocks query-pagination-next and -previous to call esc_html__() instead of esc_html() * _Rafael_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drrxbracho/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
