Andrew, you’re a star!! I will use that tool – I used to use one for mainframes, but don’t have a pc-based one – thank you!!!!

Ah, after even more searching, I’ve found a solution : there is a useful plugin that has done the trick
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/orbisius-child-theme-creator/

thanks…

in the style.css file – and I’m planning some changes in the footer.php too

I’ve been looking for the same solution – Didier’s suggestion works for me IF I also use the “Insert Read More Tag” on each post – if I recall, this may not be available as a button above the text in the native WordPress editor, but I always TinyMCE Advanced which makes this much easier.

Hope that helps – and thanks Didier!

Thanks Skabadip – this didn’t work – I think codes starting with “_” are theme-specific…
Thanks for your time though ??

I have a similar query, but with relation to HTML in the footer area.

For English, I want the words “Company Information” to show in the footer, and when French is selected, this should be “Informations pour l’entreprise”

This is the code that I used in “Qtranslate” but it is not working now that I have switched to MQTranslate” – both lots of code show in the footer.

<!–:en–>Company information<!–:–>
<!–:fr–>Informations pour l’entreprise<!–:–>

Any idea how to resolve this?
thanks

I got some help via a LInkedIn group, as had no response from the developer.

The solution that worked for me was this:

.current-menu-item a, .current_page_item a {
color: #F5C20C !important;
}

Hope this helps anyone else needing a solution …

@badi3 – glad to have helped – it was definitely a joint effort ??

@killbrum – depending on your version of WordPress, you may need to revert to an older version as I describe in the post I linked to above
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/qtranslate-and-wordpress-39?replies=47

that’s the only way I could solve it for myself.

You’re most welcome boerea!

In the thread that @whaus links to I also posted the solution that worked for me, as I had auto-updates on that kept messing me around.

… in case anyone else has the same problem with auto-updates…

@jan Dembowski
As it happened to me 4 times, I think I can safely say that it happened ?? despite what is intended…

@sgross – I posted details of how to get back to 3.8.3 above – it’s important that you disable auto-updates first as otherwise each time you go back to WP 3.8.3 it will quickly update to 3.9 … good luck!

Hi folks,

for those of you still struggling even after changing the plugin as described above : it might be useful to consider reverting to an older version of WP (3.8.3 worked for me) and switching off auto-updates to the WP core so that you can select to upgrade WP only when you know a proper version of Qtranslate is in place – this is what I had to do on my clients bilingual site.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Edited wp-config.php to say do NOT automatically update
2. restored WP version 3.8.3, keeping the wp-config.php in place from the previous step
3. told my client that under NO circumstances is she to update WP herself until I give her the go-ahead! ??

Result = perfect!

These 2 articles were very useful to me to do steps 1 & 2 :

reverting to old version of WordPress [ Please don’t use that link, use this one instead with 3.8.3 ] https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

hope this helps some of you!!

Thanks very much for the heads-up, whaus – I’ve got auto-updates switched off, and I’ll follow this & the other thread you’ve linked to, until I know a “proper” version of qtranslate is running for 3.9.x …
much appreciated.

Thanks for the heads-up – I’ve just been having problems with auto-updating from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2 and 3.8.3 – so I’ve switched off auto-updating of WP until things are more stable!
