Plugin WordPress – G5Theme Support

How to create a multilingual WordPress website

By default, WordPress does not come with features required to create a proper multilingual site, but G5Theme offers WordPress themes that all are compatible with multilingual plugins. If you want to build an e-commerce site that will serve a diverse community that speaks multiple languages, then you don’t have many choices. You can use free plugins such as Polylang, qTranslate etc or use a premium plugin like WPML.

We strongly suggest using WPML since it’s the most complete solution for creating a multilingual WP website.

Configuration

After installing and activating the WPML, then you should configure it, the wrong configuration can create many problems for your website so please configure it with caution. We suggest to read this article carefully and proceed with its instructions: How to Create a Multilingual WordPress Site with WPML

Also, you can check WPML official guide for language configuration: WPML Language Setup

Translating

After configuration, then you need to start translating your website contents. Please check the following articles for each section.

Translating Posts/Pages

Translating Categories/Tags/Custom Taxonomies

Translating Menus

Translating Widgets

Translating Strings

Anything that doesn’t fall inside posts, pages or taxonomy goes into String Translation. This includes the site’s tagline, general texts in Admin screens, widget titles and many other texts.

Language Switcher

After translating your website contents, then you should place a language switcher into your website so visitors can simply choose their desired language. Also, you may check language switcher options to achieve your desired style.

Here is our guide on how to translate language on our theme: https://support.g5plus.net/knowledge-base/how-to-change-language-in-g5theme-using-loco-translate-plugin/

Hopefully that this article could give you more details on how to create a multilingual site that used our premium WordPress themes. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to let us know by leaving a topic in our support forum. Thank you very much!

How to Update the Revolution Slider/WPBakery Page Builder plugin

We don’t provide license key of the premium plugin (WPBakery Page Builder or Revolution Slider) in the download package, thus you can’t find it in your package downloads (We bought the extended license of this plugin, for more details in Term & Policy here: https://codecanyon.net/licenses/terms/extended) It means that when these premium plugins are packaged with our themes:

Support is limited
Auto-updating functionality is not included

However, don’t worry! We will update our themes to run follow WPBakery Page Builder/Revolution Slider updates. This guide will cover how you can update the Slider Revolution plugin (similar to WPBakery Page Builder plugin)

Note: DO NOT uninstall/reinstall the plugin, as that would also delete your previously built sliders. Please follow this instruction to save previously built sliders once the update process is complete.

1. Find the version of the plugin you’re currently using that is the latest version or not

Then find the copy of the latest version of the plugin from here: https://support.g5plus.net/forums/topic/download-revolution-slider-visual-composer/ (You have to login/signup to our site by verifying your purchase code to see the links)

2. Using FTP program to update

Navigate to the following directory: wp-content/plugins/ and change the file named revslider to be revslider-old
And then upload the folder named “revslider” folder that can be found inside the zip file you downloaded from us.

Finally, delete the old folder that has been renamed.

How To Change Language in G5Theme Using LOCO Translate Plugin

Themes that support multi-language is not an automatically translate content function, it is the feature that allows us to write more than one language on the website. It means that you have to translate the phrase in theme and plugins into many different languages by yourself.

Translating using Poedit

First of all, you will need to download .PO/.pot file editor like Poedit or other. It is possible to use any text editor but it will be so much easier to use Poedit than regular text edit so I strongly recommend to download it. It’s free, works on Mac, Windows, and Linux and there is no reason not to use it.

I had an article on How to change languages via po/mo file which makes it easier to use Poedit to translate G5Theme into your own language.

Translating using LOCO Translate plugin

We hope you find out how to translate a WordPress theme and now can give back to the community by translation themes and plugins for others to use. G5Theme proudly provides Premium WordPress themes with over 5000 satisfied users every year and we hope you will do that with theme translations as well.

Where do I find Visual Composer License Key?

We don’t provide license key of Visual Composer in download package, you can’t find it in your package downloads. Visual Composer (We bought extended license of this plugin) but current have note solution for activate with this plugin. license key only can activate 1 time 🙁
We created new ticket on http://support.wpbakery.com/ and here is the answer from developer of Visual Composer

It is not possible for theme buyer to activate the license (and hence to auto-update the Visual Composer) as they have not purchased the license directly from us, but has received it in-directly from the theme. In this case, you must update the version in the theme and must release a theme update which the buyers can download and hence in-turn will receive the latest version of Visual Composer.

We’re sorry about this inconvenience but we will update our themes to run follow Visual Composer updates.

I bought Extended license for all my items(theme), read more here: https://codecanyon.net/licenses/terms/extended

Review Standard license: https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard

Please read Bunded Plugins here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins

Thanks & Hope all customers know that.
