    All of our Themes are able to be translated into any language. The process of translating the theme is user responsibility. The following instructions are given as guidance.

    nnnn
    1. Open wp-config.php and replace this: define ('WPLANG', ''); with this (substitute the language string (bg_BG) with your own!): define ('WPLANG', 'bg_BG');
    2. Download and install POEDIT
    3. Connect to your site -> open your theme/languages directory
    4. Download the default.pot file and open it with POEDIT.
    5. Translate file and save it as bg_BG (the file name must match with the string you inserted into wp-config.php)
    6. Two files will be generated after saving. bg_BG.pot and bg_BG.mo
    7. Upload the .mo and .pot files into wp-content/themes/your-theme/languages folder

  • Updating The Theme

    n

    There are 3 methods to update WordPress themes to the newer version. These new updates are essential if you want to have a bug-free website as we give new features and improvements to the theme over time. Some of these updates might be needed to make the theme compatible with WordPress’s newer versions. There is no risk of losing your settings and pages.

    What are Footnotes

    nnnn

    note is a string of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document or at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. The note can provide an author’s comments on the main text or citations of reference work in support of the text.

    nnnn

    Footnotes are notes placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a designated part of the text above it. For example, say you want to add an interesting comment to a sentence you have written, but the comment is not directly related to the argument of your paragraph. In this case, you could add the symbol for a footnote.
