That’s great news. Always glad if I can help out.

Your welcome. How is currently maintaining the P2 theme? There hasn’t been an update for more than a year.

Why do you want to protect all files within wp-content? Shouldn’t they be intended to be visible to a visitor?

The best place would be a custom plugin for that (better than using the functions.php file). Just download this PHP file, put it in your “wp-content/plugins” folder and activate it: https://gist.github.com/2ndkauboy/a2b17842718e38840f55

Wait what? I hope you haven’t changed “wp-content/plugins/cachify/cachify.php”. Have you?

I do know how to do multilingual WordPress sites, that’s correct. And I’ve also multiple plugins for language related things. But as long as you don’t want to go multilingual with your website, just ignore the warning.

I don’t see why Google should complain about your site lacking a hrefang attribute. As far as I can see, it’s not multilingual and so you don’t need such an attribute poiting to the other language. My personal blog is multilingual and therefore I have those attributes on all pages.

And I also don’t see how this relates “partially” to my plugin, as it’s only for switching the backend language which Google shouldn’t care about at all ??

I checked the MailPoet plugin an it’s source code. I couldn’t find a way to make it work with my plugin.

But what I have recognized is, that the MailPoet plugin does a lot of language overwrites itself. This should not be necessary for any plugin. I would say, that those functions are causing the issues with my plugin.

If you still want to use a language variant like “de_DE_formal” you could do the following:

– Create a folder “wp-content/languages/wysija-newsletters”
– Copy over the file “wp-content/plugins/wysija-newsletters/languages/wysija-newsletters-de_DE.mo”
– Rename it to “wysija-newsletters-de_DE_formal.mo”

I hope this will work for your setup. And I also hope that the MailPoet removes all thos (in my opinion) unnecessary functions causing all those troubles.

Hi Willem-Siebe,

a lot of this new feature, which was not announced in a special post, was discussed in this ticket: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/28303

Basically starting with 4.3 you can choose and download “language variants” such as “German formal” or “Portuguese formal” without loosing this variant on an autoupdate. Before 4.3 the language variants would have benn overwritten by the “default” variant.

Another issue with a language variant is the fact, that most plugins and themes don’t provide translation files for those variants. As WordPress core has no fallback strategy, it would choose English, which is probably not what a user which has choosen a variant wants. This it what the plugin tries to fix.

I have checked all of my plugins at the time of the mentioned post, but as I don’t use the two functions, there is no XSS vulnerability in this plugin.

In a future version I will probably remove the flags alltogether, as flags are bad representations for languages. I will most probably also add a switch to the admin bar. And because there might be different option, I could add something to the settings page to let you choose the position of the switcher.

I think it would be OK, if new buttons are added by default, but the regular ones should keep their original position.

But as I said it’s up to you to keep it this way, if you think that your button order makes more sense for most users.

Awesome, thanks!

It’s OK if new features are enabled by default. But the main buttons should stay at the original position. Right now, there are many default buttons that change the position or are even moved to the second level, which is not visible by default.

Sorry about my late response, but I haven’t received any notification about this review.

So you basically want the flags shown up in the right side of the admin bar? I might implement that as a new feature. Just yesterday I put my plugin to Github. Why don’t you just leave me an issue there about how you want that feature be implemented: https://github.com/2ndkauboy/kau-boys-backend-localization
