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

Alternatives to WP Smush.it include EWWW Image Optimizer, CW Image Optimizer, Imsanity and Hammy. Many WordPress users prefer using these plugins as they do not rely on an external server to process your images.

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.

nnnn

However if you had done modifications in parent theme files, then they will be lost. We recommend you to do all your modifications using the Child theme of Docy (the child theme included with the theme package).

Auto Update

To get the automatic update of the theme on your WordPress dashboard, you have to register/verify the theme with the Envato purchase code. Navigate to Register/Verify page from the WordPress admin dashboard.

What are Footnotes

nnnn

A 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.
