Essential Grid Plugin

Support
#1

Site(new.colourfast.com) is using the essential grid for the English home page with a ‘title’ and ‘read more’ button to link the pages. I duplicated it and translated it to the Spanish page and saved it with different shortcode.

The problem is that the ‘read more’ button seems to share both files even though they are two different files. For example, if I type in Spanish for the buttons and save it, then it affects the English page too. How do I solve this?

Thank you

Hi @cf_printing,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m not sure about the files, but it seems to be part of the skin where you manually add a text layer. Would you mind providing your admin login credentials in the secure note so I could further investigate?

Thanks!

Hello @cf_printing,

Thanks for the updates. Are you using WPML? Please check out this thread to be able to translate the Read More button with WPML:

I Checked the linked site you suggested as below;

"This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Essential Grid – how to translate the READ MORE string?

Solution:

The plugin is not compatible, and this workaround was suggested by the support of the plugin.

Created a duplicate layout for the other language, where the READ MORE string (and the LOAD MORE and SEARCH strings) can be replaced with the translation language equivalents."

“Read more” translated to Spanish in string translation.

This site is translating with cornerstone mostly not the wpml editor. Would you take a look at the our site? It keeps going around and cannot solve the problem.

Thank you

Hello @cf_printing,

To better assist you with your issue, I’d prefer to log in to your site to check your settings and see how to manage to translate. Please create a secure note with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
​
To know how to create a secure note, please check this out: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/how-to-get-support/288

Meanwhile; why don’t you check out this translate function by adding this php code in your child theme’s functions.php

function translate_readmore($translated) { 
  $your_text  = "insert your translation here";
  $translated = str_ireplace('Read More', $your_text, $translated);
  return $translated; 
}
add_filter('gettext', 'translate_readmore' );

Hope this helps.

Hi @cf_printing,

Been trying to access the admin, but it always through this error

And the read more is part of the button layer which is skin element so yes, it’s probably not translatable. And as suggested here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/essential-grid-not-showing-on-translated-page/, you will have to create multiple grid for each language, and then each grid uses two different skin the represent each language too.

It’s the same has having a slider, slider 1 for home-en, and slider 2 for home-de. And each slider layer contains the proper text content that you have manually added.

Thanks!
