Hi there,

I have translated  my site rockpix(dot)se with Polylang and have some problems with missed strings for Featured content and some other stuff on my frontpage because I am using child theme.I found out that you recommends WPML but I have already translated the whole site with Polylang before I saw that.

I use, and missing strings to translate for:

• Header Media Title
• Site Header Text
• Header Media URL
• Header Media URL Text
• Excerpt options: Read more text
• Featured Content
• Promotion Headline
• Events

I found this for another theme of yours here in the support forum, but I need some help to adapt the codes for the Bold Photography Pro Child theme.

Thanks in advance,

ROCKPIX

Also… Missing strings to translate for Footer Editor Options: Footer Content.

Hi Rickpix,

Please add the following function in our child theme’s functions.php file

function bold_photography_register_polylang_strings() {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$mods = get_theme_mods();

	foreach ( $mods as $key => $value ) {

		// Only register clean strings
		if ( is_string( $value ) && strlen( trim( $value ) ) > 0 ) {

			pll_register_string(
				$key,
				$value,
				'Bold Photography'
			);
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'bold_photography_register_polylang_strings', 20 );

After you add this code. You need to go to “Appearance => Customize” and change the content which you want to translate.
For example, if you want to change Header Media Title and Site Header Text, then go to “Appearance => Customize => Header Media” and change Header Media Title and Site Header Text and click on publish. After you make the changes, it will show those strings Polylang at “Languages => Transalations”

Hi there Sakin,

I have follow all steps but it doesn´t work.

The strings shows up in Polylang at “Languages => Transalations” but they doesn´t translate the site when I translate the strings.

I also tried to changing all “bold_photography” in the child themes functions.php file to “bold_photography_pro_child_theme” but that didn´t work eather. So now I have changed it back to “bold_photography” in the child themes functions.php file.

Cheers,

So, we need ot check your child theme and website. I will contact you.

[Sakin]

Here goes the function that you need to add to the child theme to make your child theme compatible with the Polylang plugin.

/**
 * Use parent theme mods in child theme.
 *
 * This keeps Polylang/WPML translations working
 * because translated strings remain attached
 * to the parent theme Customizer settings.
 */
function bold_photography_child_theme_mods( $mods ) {

	$parent_theme = get_template();

	$parent_mods = get_option( 'theme_mods_' . $parent_theme );

	if ( is_array( $parent_mods ) ) {
		return $parent_mods;
	}

	return $mods;
}

add_filter(
	'pre_option_theme_mods_' . get_stylesheet(),
	'bold_photography_child_theme_mods'
);
