Hi,
So i am almost done translating WPforo into 6 languages but am missing how I can sort the "Forum rules sample text ...":
When I dive into the db with WP Data Access and look at the tables for Translatepress I can find "Forum rules sample text ..." as the base text and translate our text without problems, except that I do not know how and where I can place the English text. If I do it inside the foro settings page it would override the translation of the other language texts as basically the translations "loose their anchor" of the short sample text (-> "Forum rules sample text ...").
Can I enter the actual English text in another place than the settings page?
Thanks
I have dug a bit deeper and believe the only way to make the text multilingual would be to change the "forum rule" a regular a href link (in the user registration section) so it can point to a page in wp.
Which file would I have to modify? Thanks for your help.
Hi @coder,
There is no "Forum rules sample text" phrase in wpForo. By default it comes empty. Please see the screenshot of the wpForo > Settings > Privacy & Forum Rules admin page:
Hi Robert, I understand and I entered some dummy text to see how it is handled. The text from the Forum rules Text field is stored in wp_options and Translatepress currently can not grab it properly from there. Therefor I should modify the forum rules settings in the signup process window to be a simple a href link to a wp page, just as the Terms and Privacy rules.
Thank you for any further guidance.
Ok, I solved it. Modified the legal.php file a bit.
