How to change Read more and Comment button

[adagio]

hello again.
I have installed Akita theme in a non english version of wordpress and strangely i realize that the “read more” , “Comment” links under articles and meta informations stay in english on the blog page articles.
I also have this problem in a single post page.

How can I change or translate this ?

I understand that you created a plugin for that :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-string-swap/
is there another way ?

Here’s the complete developer guide that shows where these strings are located and how to filter them from your Child theme’s functions.php —

Thks. i have tried your plugin.
With it, the read more link string translation works fine 🙂
But the “no comments’ string translation doesn’t 🙁 (it stays in English).

I ll try and see with complete developer guide.

Yeah, in tracking this down specifically in Akita, this isn’t setup right in this current version.

For a post list, you can find this in content-list.php. — Just copy this file to your Child theme, and you’ll find it in there.

Okay. I’ll do that. Thanks for your time.

Just curious : Do you intend to update the plugin for akita one day ? or perhaps akita for the plugin ?
I’m just asking as i may try and convince some collegues and clients to change their WP theme for a blvd theme (Your reactivity is appreciated and your answers are clear : in another word, you rock ! 🙂 ) …

Thks again

Yeah, definitely. It’s actually an issue with the Akita theme, itself. This actually has already been fixed for the next version of Akita, which will be 2.0.

I managed for the moment to translate the post list meta (“posted on xxxx by xxxxx”) using your last option in the theme-blvd-string-swap plugin.
It didn’t work as a filter from the Child theme’s functions.php and I don’t know how to replace the php in the

<div class="meta-wrapper">

tag of the ” content-list.php” file i copied in the child theme.
Is this another issue of the actual version of Akita ?
Its a pity I have to combine those 3 technics.

Can you give me the exact php code to replace in the

<div class="meta-wrapper">

of the ” content-list.php” so i can translate the post list meta string ?

I hope i am not being a pain in the… for you but I would rather not use the plugin.

When do you intend to deliver Akita 2.0 ?

[Jason Bobich]

This is actually sort of a different thing; I just came up with a sort of creative way to tie it into that plugin because I figured it many people that wanted string translation would want that, as well.

But this is just another function hooked to an action hook. Here’s a basic template you can start with from your Child theme’s functions.php to put the meta display in your hands.

function my_blog_meta() {
	?>
	<div class="entry-meta">
		<span class="sep"><?php _e( 'Posted on', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ); ?></span>
		<time class="entry-date" datetime="<?php the_time('c'); ?>" pubdate><?php the_time( get_option('date_format') ); ?></time>
		<span class="sep"> <?php _e( 'by', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ); ?> </span>
		<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ), get_the_author() ); ?>" rel="author"><?php the_author(); ?></a></span>
		<span class="sep"> <?php _e( 'in', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ); ?> </span>
		<span class="category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></span>
		<?php if ( is_single() && comments_open() ) : ?>
			<span class="comments-link">
				 - <?php comments_popup_link( __( '<span class="leave-reply">No Comments</span>', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ), __( '1 Comment', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ), __( '% Comments', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ) ); ?>
			</span>	
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div><!-- .entry-meta -->	
	<?php
}
remove_all_actions( 'themeblvd_blog_meta' );
add_action( 'themeblvd_blog_meta', 'my_blog_meta' );

Above, I’m essentially just copying the function used in the theme, renaming it, and hooking it in its place to use as starting point to edit.
