SECTION 02Translate Plugin

The procedure is standard – you can find the .pot file in the plugin’s languages folder.

Please use PoEdit to translate the .pot file and create respective .po and .mo files.

You should upload .po and .mo files created using PoEdit back to plugin’s languages folder.

Please name .po and .mo files for example: hero-posts-nl_NL.po and hero-posts-nl_NL.mo (nl_NL is the language code for dutch) and place them in /wp-content/plugins/hero-posts/languages/.

For other languages code, please refer to the following link: Internationalization.

You can set the site language of your WordPress installation on Settings > General. WordPress will automatically use the right language files if they exist.

SECTION 03Plugin Update

Here is how to update Hero Posts plugin:

In order to update Hero Posts to the latest version download the plugin folder from the download section of your CodeCanyon profile and update through FTP. We suggest that you use Filezilla to access your server. Here is the article that explains how Filezilla works.

Extract hero-posts file from the folder you downloaded, and upload it to /wp-content/plugins/ folder of your WordPress installation. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Select ‘Yes’, and the plugin will update.

If you have made some changes in the plugin’s code, you will need to reapply the changes in the new version.

Templates that were made before update will be preserved.
