Hi Themeco crew,

This is my first time with wordpress and within 1 day i got a little site running with your theme. Truly amazing!

Got a question though… The “Read More” button that appears at the blog loop page i would like to translate into Dutch to “Lees verder”.

How can i do this? Excuse me for my n00b question hehe.

Amazing work guys, thanks!

Hi there!

Thank you for using the theme!

You can find the code on framework > functions > global > content.php. Look for this code:

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_content_string' ) ) :
  function x_content_string( $more ) {
    
    $stack = x_get_stack();

    if ( $stack == 'integrity' ) {
      return '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'renew' ) {
      return '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
      return '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
    }

  }
  add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'x_content_string' );
endif;

I hope that helps. Cheers!

Hi Marius,

You could put your content.php under x-child-{YOUR_STACK}/framework/functions/global/.

Hope this helps.

Hi there!

Thank you for using the theme!

To make this easier, please add this on the child theme’s functions.php:

function x_child_excerpt_string( $more ) {
    
    $stack = x_get_stack();

    if ( $stack == 'integrity' ) {
      return ' ... <div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Lees Verder', '__x__' ) . '</a></div>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'renew' ) {
      return ' ... <a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="more-link">' . __( 'Lees Verder', '__x__' ) . '</a>';
    } else if ( $stack == 'icon' ) {
      return ' ...';
    }

  }
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_child_excerpt_string' );

Hope this helps. Cheers!

does not work with function also..:(

Hi Ioel,

Sorry for the confusion, child theme templates will only work for “framework/views” structure, and not for “framework/functions”. Functions.php should work too, but there are many possible reason why it wont take effect.

1. You could clear your plugin’s cache.
2. Could you disable jetpack if available.
3. Filter is called earlier than default filter builtin to X.

So you might need to change
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_child_excerpt_string' );
into
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'x_child_excerpt_string', 9999 );

4. __() was overridden.

So, you need to add this to you child theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'gettext', 'x_translate_read_more', 9999, 3 );
function x_translate_read_more( $translated, $text, $domain ) {    
	if($text=='Read More') return 'Lees Verder';
	else  return $translated;
}

But if you want to change lot of text, then you could use manual string translation plugin.

Hope this helps.

great, works with your code.

thank you.

You’re welcome!

How can I change the above code so that it will only change the above for the NL version of the website. I am using WPML but I cannot find the string Read more in stringtranslation so I am looking for another solution.

[RadModerator]

Hi Webgirl,

Could you try this one? 🙂

add_filter( 'gettext', 'x_translate_read_more', 9999, 3 );
function x_translate_read_more( $translated, $text, $domain ) {    
	if($text=='Read More' && ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'nl' ) return 'Lees Verder';
	else  return $translated;
}

Hope this helps.

[webgirlliz1Participant]

Perfect, thanks!
