e() function

  • Hi

    I understand that e() function will echo the string inside the (). In my theme, I have <?php e(‘Said’); ?> in my comment template. If I take that php out and just make it, Said, would that help to increase the speed?

  • Why not use echo, the typical PHP function?

    Plus, if this is non-dynamic HTML, it makes more sense to me to build it into your code as standard code rather than PHP generated.

    Is it still okay to replace that if that code comes after the below?

    <?php else : ?>

    _e() is for localization I believe….. (not sure if we are referencing the same thing)

    It’s so that things can be translated

    I’m not sure what is a localization.
    But after all, is it okay to replace with html instead of that php code?

    thanks

    It should be fine…

    localization provides a way for WP to be translated.

    the _e() stuff allows people to translate WP, so they can upload language files to WP, and swap their own language in. That way you can develop a theme in your own language, but make it so other people can translate it
