[Plugin: Google News Sitemap Generator] How can I change the language, our site is Dutch!

Hi Betty,

The language is taken from the WordPress database option of ‘rss_language’ not sure how you update this from the WordPress dashboard?

You can either:

Change the value in the MySQL database to nl.

-or-

Modify line 177 of the file google-news-sitemap.php from “$xmlOutput.= get_option(‘rss_language’);” to “$xmlOutput.= nl;”.

Hopefully with the next update I will add this as an option in the WordPress Plugin control panel.

Chris.

* Sorry, should be: “$xmlOutput.= “nl”;” for the modification. *

Thank you Chris! We will try:)

Not working, we are doing something wrong, I know. But after we did what you said, we get an error. So we are afraid to try it again.

The solution is pretty simple: Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php and change the value for rss_language to nl (or what ever language you desire).

hi!
I’ve just installed tis plug in and it looks nice! I’d like to change the default language, I’ve taken a look inside the file options.php but “rss_language” doesn’t exists, neither in opstion_general.php.

Do you know where can I find it? Thank you in advance

fneumeier is correct, put the following URL into your web browser (replacing https://www.yourdomain.com for your actual domain name ). Do not open the PHP file as it is not in the code.

https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php

Search for rss_language and change it to the 2 letter code of your desired language.

List of language codes here.

Done! Danke schoen! ??
