In the free version of Lorina, you can only ‘select a page’ for each of the three featured services.
The title, description, and link are taken from the selected page.In Lorina Pro, you can optionally write the title, description, and link directly, so it can be anything you want and, for example the title can be different to the actual page title that you are linking to.
You can leave the link empty if you want, and then it won’t link anywhere, it will be just for display.If you write your own title, this then overrides the selected page option, and to translate the title, description, and link, you will need to translate these using “strings translations”.
Please update Lorina Pro to version 1.1 (Appearance > Themes).
After updating the theme, go to Languages > Strings translations, and select ‘lorina-pro’ from the ‘View all groups’ dropdown box and click ‘Filter’.
You should now see the text you highlighted available for translation.Thanks, I see now.
These are “Strings translations” similar to the tagline, but it is not very easy to manually add these in Polylang so I will update the theme to make these easier to translate.
Give me an hour or so and I’ll update here, and show you how to translate this text.
You can add screenshots here. Click the image icon, and then the folder icon to find an image to upload a screenshot and it will be displayed here.
Have you written the French version of the tagline at ‘Languages’ > ‘Strings translations’ as shown in the screenshot in the Polylang documentation?
When you say “the top of the Feature page” which part are you referring to? Is it the title of each column next to the icon, or the overall section title?
Did you build your site shown in the screenshot on a different WordPress site? e.g. a staging site or locally on your computer?
If so, you would have to move/copy your site to the new site, or build it again from the start.
Apologies if I have misunderstood the question. Please correct me if I have got it wrong.
If you are not using the ‘select a page’ option for the featured services, but you are writing the title, description, link etc directly into the optional text boxes, the procedure to translate those pieces of text is different.
The title, description, link etc will be text “strings” and you can translate those in the same way as you would for the tagline.
Make sure you are seeing the UK version of your site, and then go into the ‘Customizer’.
For each of your ‘Featured Services’, select a UK page.Now exit the customizer and go to ‘Pages’.
For each of the UK pages you selected for the featured services in the previous step, create French versions of those pages.Now when you view the UK homepage, you will see each featured service will display the information from the selected UK pages.
Switch to the French version of the homepage, and you should see that the featured services will display the information from the French versions of those previously selected UK pages.
For the tagline, please see the Polylang documentation for “strings translations”.
In the image on that page it shows how to change the tagline.You could have the static homepage as just a normal page with the handpicked product block, and any other content. You could even sort of recreate the ‘shop’ page with latest products block.
Then have another page designated as your ‘shop’ page. You can choose whether or not to link to this in your menus.
The main thing to be aware of is that the designated ‘shop’ page is not designed to contain any manually added content, only the automatic output of the products.
Okay, I have realised why this is happening. It appears that you have set your WooCommerce ‘Shop’ page to be the same page as your static homepage.
When you select a page as your main ‘Shop’ page, WooCommerce makes that page a special ‘archive’ page for your products, and any other content you add to the page is then seen as not part of the main content, but it becomes the archive description (archive because this page is not considered to be a page but an archive similar to a category page).
So, the content consisting of the hand picked products is appearing in the header instead of the page content area, because the theme displays the page excerpt (or in case of archives, the archive description) in the header area, and new lines of content are attempted to be wrapped as paragraphs. The page excerpt is only designed for a short amount of text, not a more complicated layout such as the hand picked products.
This is a quirk of how WooCommerce work with the designated ‘shop’ page. It is not designed for extra content to be added to it.
The featured posts do not have H1 or H2, it only contains a H4 heading for the title of each featured post.
Assuming you are selecting a page for each of the featured services (not using the option to write content directly into the featured services).
The page that you have selected, create a French language version of that page.
Then when you view the French version of the homepage, the alternative French version of the page selected for the featured service will be displayed instead of the English version.The theme does not have the ability to hide or remove pages, so all your pages will be available to edit in Dashboard > Pages
