I only noticed this when moving a site to another server which leads me to think the register_post_type() function requires some php settings … Read more
if the translation is only for the archive widget, a filter function might work (to be added to functions.php of the theme): add_filter(‘get_archives_link’, ‘translate_archive_month’); function translate_archive_month($list) { $patterns = array( ‘/January/’, ‘/February/’, ‘/March/’, ‘/April/’, ‘/May/’, ‘/June/’, ‘/July/’, ‘/August/’, ‘/September/’, ‘/October/’, ‘/November/’, ‘/December/’ ); $replacements = array( ‘jan’, ‘feb’, ‘mar’, ‘apr’, ‘may’, ‘jun’, ‘jul’, ‘aug’, ‘sep’, … Read more
