hi, we're planning to incorporate a blog on the framlabs.com site. how do i change the text "read more" (on a page with all the posts) to something else?
We usually recommend to install "Translation" plugins if users want to change theme strings without need to digging the code. So here is how to do that:
To translate or rename theme strings, you can do this via Loco Translateplugin. If you don't have it, please install and activate the plugin in your WordPress site.
Click "New Language" for the current active theme (if you didn't created it yet, otherwise ignore this step). On the new language page, choose these options – Screenshot
After that you will be redirected to the editing screen for theme translations. Before you continue with your translations make sure the current language of your site is selected – Screenshot
Follow these instructions to learn how to translate strings – Screenshot
The changes will be applied immediately – Screenshot
Note: Translation files will be saved to wp-content/themes/{theme-name}/languages folder or global directory of theme translations: wp-content/languages/themes/ (based on your choice).
If you have saved your translations inside theme folder, always save a backup of *languages/* folder (inside the theme) when there is new theme update. After you update the theme (languages folder will be replaced with an empty folder), just move the backup files you previously saved to the same languages directory and your changes will still be applied.
I fixed it, the Read more was located in the Visual Composer, so added the Swedish language for VC and then searched for the Read more and translated them (using Google Translate :p).

hi, thanks. i'll take loco for a spin. you can't use it to create a multilingual site, i guess?
i've been using qtranslate for that sort of things and it keeps breaking stuff.
Hi Rikard,
Loco can be only used to translate the theme/plugin strings and cannot be used to create a full multilingual site.

installed loco and followed the instructions. ran into an issue that the "read more" text isn't in the list of strings.
it gives me a warning aswell, is that an issue?
Hi Rikard,
In which of your sites are you trying this so I can login and see what we can do about it.
Best regards,
