Denmark
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2017
My goal is to share all my knowledge and best practices to help anyone interested in WordPress learn things faster and, hopefully, without as much pain and frustration as I’ve been through. Creating websites in WordPress is a craft best taught by building. Learning by doing so to speak. For that reason my main focus when creating guides and courses are to explain every step carefully so that everything is clear and understandable for anyone.

How to install WordPress with Unoeuro 1-click installer
Thank You
Good evening, I have created a News page with the layout designer of Elementor. This page shows me the news and depending on the language I choose, it shows me only those of that language, but how can I have different templates for each language. For example in Spanish I want it to put News but in another language I don't want it to put news if not the word in that language, but in the conditions if I don't choose that page to be a post it stops working for the blog, for the header and footer Of the page, I have been able to tell you that it depends on the author to show me one or the other and I have created each translation with a different author but I can't get the news.
Thanks for this amazing tutorial!!! One thing I still can't figure out though is how to create different footers for the different languages using Polylang. Could you give me some advice? Would be very appreciated. Hälsningar från Sverige 😄
Hi Lucy, it depends on your theme but footers are typically handled in: Appearance > Widgets There you can make separate widgets for each language using the dropdown at the bottom of each widget
@@WPExplainer Such a quick reply 😊 I use the Divi theme. Guess it works there like you described as well?
This is exactly the information I have been l looking for! 😀
Thank you! are you working with the premium version in this video?
No this is the free version 👍
Thanks for the tutorial, but I can't find the "language switcher" in the menu items, I'm really lost here 🥲 Does anyone have the same problem?
What about the woocommerce cart page?
In 1997, while I was doing a CC mass email on the Pine Platform using UNIX, I did a bulk email send, and one recip charged me with spamming. I even got an email abuse report! The recip threatened legal action on me if I did not opt the recipient out immediately (I would have gotten up to 1-3 years in prison) so I had to opt the recip out immediately. So from this hard lesson, when you are doing any email marketing, if a recip wants to opt-out of your campaigns - you must honor that request. It is not only a mandate --it is the law! It is even engrained in some of the anti-spam laws currently in the world, such as CAN-SPAM in the USA and CASL in Canada.
Hello thank you for great guide. However when activating all synchronization for custom fields its did not create them in secondary language, still need to type one by one for custom fields such city names. Any ideas ? Thanks
For synchronization to work, you need to have already made the categories etc. in all languages
Thank you! Whats about polylang for woocommerce? Do you use it for woocommerce Shop translation?
Why I can't see Domain option under Website?
Thanks for your helpful tutorial. I have a question corncerning translations of installed Plugins: I am using Polylang free version. In the Polylang translation, the plugin "WP-TH-cam Lyte" is not included with the consequence that German language is shown on English pages. It seems to be that Polylang free version does not support the plugin "WP-TH-cam Lyte". Question: Does the Pro Version of Polylang support the translation? Or is there another way how I can translate the plugin "WP-TH-cam Lyte"?
Hi there, you need another plugin to handle translations. I recommend Loco Translate 👍
This plugin causes our site to go into an infinite redirect loop. Can find any option for support anywhere.
Hi Randy, it's difficult to say what the issue might be, however you could try going to your permalinks settings and clicking save. Also oftentimes the .htaccess file is the cause of these types of issues. Another probable cause could be having a redirect plugin installed that's automatically creating redirects. Good luck with your website
Best tutorial I've seen
Thanks for a great video ! A pre-installation question 1) Do I need to setup Wordpress Multisite first ? 2) I'm using Wordpress 6.3.2, Gutenberg 16.8.1 and Polylang 3.5.1 (all up to date versions as of 23 Oct 23). I have an issue setting up the menus (around 18:30 of the video). I have a much simpler interface to configure the menus and no possibilities that I can see to configure different language menus. What am I missing ? Thanks in advance for your help
Thank you for the feedback. Setting up Polylang with a multisite is very different from a standard WordPress installation. Try looking in Polylang's documentation for help
What about if we don't have categories?
That should only make the setup easier 👍
@@WPExplainer Thanks i have tried to create new pages, and duplicate content , translate. I then publish my pages and they're gone into the abyss. Impossible to find the page, worth 4 hours of work .... I'm desperate
A known bug in Polylang is that it sometimes creates an extra language with a funny looking name. Try checking if there is an extra language added besides the languages you've created. If so, then delete the extra language...
The best way to avoid spam filters is to not use Mailchimp, which is a spammer-friendly service.
Tak for din stille-og-rolige hands-on forklaring - stille-og-roligt, er det ikke meget dansk? ;-) - hvor alt giver mening ét skridt ad gangen. Det virker, som om Polylang er et meget gennemtænkt plugin. Det fungerer simpelthen. Der findes smarte plugins som indbygget Google-translate. Man vælger diverse sprog og publicerer det. Men Googles oversættelsesmaskine er - selvom den kører pænt et stykke ad vejen - en faldgrube. Når det går galt, går det VIRKELIGT GALT. Og der er ingen mulighed for at rette i oversættelsen, for oversætteren genererer bare her-og-nu. Det eneste, jeg savner i Polylang-setup'et er, at der kun vises ét flag - altså det modsatte flag af det, du har valgt. Når du er på en blog-post under en dansk menu, skal der kun være et engelsk flag - og omvendt. Jeg synes faktisk, at det var sådan for år tilbage, da jeg brugte Polylang for første gang, måske er der noget, jeg har glemt i mellemtiden eller overset.
Greetings. Your tutorial is perfect, however - there are many more problems you have to demonstrate that I hope to solve myself. Here is a video idea. I have a friend who is just getting started with email. They have a known campaign of 7- emails and they want to add them to mail chimp. The problem is a tiny portion of the (project) will be automated, but- before solving that problem. Here are the questions as follows: *How do you add 6+ email messages into mail chimp ONE at a time. *How do you do so using a file (they call this importing. *How or Is there a way to give a eMail campaign (sequence of 6+) emails to other people, who can use them with Mail Chimp much like a "DIGITAL FILE" for which one could sell on Etsy as a product "for sale". Observation: No one is doing anything like this. Sure/Yes you can purchase a email Sequence On Etsy, but the files are in PDF file format, but again-getting them into Mail Chimp means painstakingly adding them and of course the FORMAT has be be fixed.
So helpful, straightforward, and just a great narrator. Thank you!
color styling, you missed it
thanks
well explained!
Underrated video
As soon as I activate polylang it messes up the menus on my site... Why?
When Polylang is activated it requires you to create a menu for each language. I cover this in the tutorial so just watch till the end 👍
@@WPExplainer Thanks.. I ended up using Weglot. Works great.
This was AMAZING! Thanks a lot for this very good tutorial. It explains all I need to implement. thanks again
super tutorial :)
thanks a lot! I was able to solve the problem with the spam of the account that I manage. It has been a great help!
know polylang does not mirror pages "dynamically", but can you do this: the linked translated page is outdated. You want to relink the newer updated source language page with a clone of it*, and then translate again. And then link this in the menu instead of the older translated page. *This is possible when no translated pages are linked yet, but once linked, it seems impossible to relink with another page the the originally linked one?
Hi Ruben, I had the same impression but I found out it's in fact super easy. In the language menu on the page you wish to link to another page you can delete the page name and then simply write the name of the new page to link that instead.
I dont see "pretty permalinks" settings, is it some plugin?
Pretty permalinks is an standard WordPress feature so if you can't see it, you might not have administrator rights
@@WPExplainer not really, but I've found out. You need to have porper setting of direct link structure set in general settings. Just after pretty permalinks appear.
Okay great that you found the solution :)

Sir but why post cant be translated ?
can you do this with the free version?
Yes this is all possible on free accounts
Thank you! A very thorough, easy to follow tutorial. 😊
when did you shoot this video? My templates are so limited and I have do not have access to layouts.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. The only thing that is looking totally different on my end is the copying of the pages. I don't have the option to select all text as it shows the page in the blocks with headings, paragraphs, pictures etc. I'm not sure how I can 'copy' my pages as I'm not able to select all the text (I can only copy per block text)
Hi there, it sounds like you're using a page builder of some kind. You can try downloading the "Classic Editor" plugin, that might make it possible to copy the content

This was incredibly useful, thank you!
I am unable to add langauge switcher in the menu
In Appearance > Menus, click on screen options, top right of your screen, to expend the options and check the “Language switcher” checkbox. You should then see a new metabox in the “Add menu items” list which allows you to add a language switcher the same way you add other menu items
@@WPExplainer saw this now, but helped cause i had the same problem. Thxs a lot Great Video
Very useful thank you.
Open rates went from less than 10% to 50-70%, thank u bro
Wow I'm glad to hear 😀👌
Awesome video, Would it be the best thing to make all the pages first in the other language and then proceed with the plugin?
Thanks a lot 😀 Yes exactly, make all the content in the primary language first and then proceed
Ok so first build whole website. Than install plugin and translate site.
That's right 👍
Good, thank you ! Something I couldn't do though: trashing the transated page and start again. The little pencil stayed whatever, and the "+" didn't show. How to start the process of duplicating the page when it has been done once ?
Try going to your trashed pages and delete the page permanently. Hopefully that should do it 👍
Well made tutorial, thanks.
How can you keep editing your posts and pages on the dashboard? When I click to edit as you did, it always take me to another edit page... your way so much more easier.!
It might be because it uses the Gutenberg editor instead of the Classic Editor. Try installing the "Classic Editor" plugin and try once mode 👍
@@WPExplainer Thank you! I will try it
@@WPExplainer Thank you so much! It worked! I just needed to deactivate the Elementor as well to work properly.
Great to hear, I'm glad it worked 😀👍
One thing I had to Google - I wanted the switcher in the menu to be: EN | DE Not the flags or fully spelled words. Found the answer in 10s and made the changes, works great 👍🏼
Great to hear 👍
thank you! This is so much easier than other tutorials make it seem
Can somebody help with this - I make click on + to add a new page, after that it is created but still + doesn't change to pen and it seems as if the page wasn't created?
