Featured content, Text widget, Promoheadline, Languages

Hi @scubafreak,

Thank you for your appreciation.
I’ll try to make the steps simpler.

1. Link to category in featured content image.
I assume you’ve managed to put the images in featured content. For make the image link to selected category, go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Settings” then scroll to “Link URL” and put the link of your desired category in the input box (example: http://yoursite/category/some-category). Repeat this as per the items in the featured content and the click save.

2. I guess you’ve put an img tag in text widget to display image in the sidebar.
<img src="link of some image" alt="your-image" />
Change it to look as follows:

<a href="your-desired-url" title="title-for-link">
<img src="link of some image" alt="your-image" />
</a>

3. This is not possible through options. You’ll need to hire a customizer.

4. We cannot say one particular plugin is best. Please visit this LINK and search for the appropriate plugin to handle email automation.

5. The theme is translation ready and support translations plugin such as WPML, Qtranslate. You can use those from WordPress.org repository.

6. You can use Qtranslate for this.

Hi @scubafreak,

For that, you have to create a child theme, you can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in functions.php add the following code and override it.

function adventurous_homepage_headline() { 
	//delete_transient( 'adventurous_homepage_headline' );
	
	global $post, $wp_query, $adventurous_options_settings;
   	$options = $adventurous_options_settings;
	
	// Getting data from Theme Options
	$disable_headline = $options[ 'disable_homepage_headline' ];
	$disable_subheadline = $options[ 'disable_homepage_subheadline' ];
	$disable_button = $options[ 'disable_homepage_button' ];
	$homepage_headline = $options[ 'homepage_headline' ];
	$homepage_subheadline = $options[ 'homepage_subheadline' ];
	$homepage_headline_button = $options[ 'homepage_headline_button' ];
	$homepage_headline_target = $options[ 'homepage_headline_target' ];
	
	//support qTranslate plugin
	if ( function_exists( 'qtrans_convertURL' ) ) {
		$homepage_headline_url = qtrans_convertURL($options[ 'homepage_headline_url' ]);
	}
	else {
		$homepage_headline_url = $options[ 'homepage_headline_url' ];
	}
	
	// Front page displays in Reading Settings
	$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
	$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts'); 

	// Get Page ID outside Loop
	$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();

	 if ( empty( $disable_headline ) || empty( $disable_subheadline ) || empty( $disable_button ) ) { 
		
		if ( !$adventurous_homepage_headline = get_transient( 'adventurous_homepage_headline' ) ) {
			
			echo '<!-- refreshing cache -->';	
			
			$adventurous_homepage_headline = '<div id="homepage-message"><div class="container"><div class="left-section">';
			
			if ( $disable_headline == "0" ) {
				$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '<h2>' . $homepage_headline . '</h2>';
			}
			if ( $disable_subheadline == "0" ) {
				$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '<p>' . $homepage_subheadline . '</p>';
			}			
			
			$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '</div><!-- .left-section -->';  
			
			if ( !empty ( $homepage_headline_url ) && $disable_button == "0" ) {
				if ( !empty ( $homepage_headline_target ) ) {
					$headlinetarget = '_blank';
				}
				else {
					$headlinetarget = '_self';
				}
				
				$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '<div class="right-section"><a href="' . $homepage_headline_url . '" target="' . $headlinetarget . '">' . $homepage_headline_button . '</a></div><!-- .right-section -->';
			}
			
			$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '</div><!-- .container --></div><!-- #homepage-message -->';
			
			set_transient( 'adventurous_homepage_headline', $adventurous_homepage_headline, 86940 );
		}
		echo $adventurous_homepage_headline;	
	 }
}

Note: You have to replace the below section(Promotion headline button) with contact form.

if ( !empty ( $homepage_headline_url ) && $disable_button == "0" ) {
				if ( !empty ( $homepage_headline_target ) ) {
					$headlinetarget = '_blank';
				}
				else {
					$headlinetarget = '_self';
				}
				
				$adventurous_homepage_headline .= '<div class="right-section"><a href="' . $homepage_headline_url . '" target="' . $headlinetarget . '">' . $homepage_headline_button . '</a></div><!-- .right-section -->';
			}

Hi @scubafreak,

Oh great to know you’ve been here and thank you for all your helps. 🙂

Yes it was difficult time for all due to earthquake. People are gradually going back to their normal living.
The steps you’ve gone through is all you need to translate theme, its quite odd that nothing changed. Please use WPML or qtranslate plugins and try again.
Let me know if any problem.

Hi @scubafreak,

In my server there was no Czech language listed in my WordPress setting so I manually added cs_CZ.mo and po file and admin-cs_CZ.mo and po files. Then created cs_CZ.po file from adventurous.pot file with and edited with poedit which automatically genereate cs_CZ.mo file. And just for testing, I changed the string (Monthly Archive) to some other string(example: test language) and checked the frontend and the change was there, so it should work fine with yours too. Please post in your site url.

Mahesh

Hi @scubafreak,

Can you please share the cs_CZ.po file that you’ve created for the theme.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi @scubafreak,

Yes, I got the file and thank you.
It seems you’ve done 19% translation. The translation seems to work fine on our server. And to some extent translations in your site is working too for example: archives, categories etc. Try to complete the translation. You can refer to this link:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/adventurous/cs/default
After you’ve translated, please share you complete zipped theme.
