Having problems getting some text to change using Poedit

Wordpress v4.0 EE4 website: http://www.risklogic.com.au/

Have been following the instructions on https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/ but my change isn’t showing on the website.

I noticed that the file to download from GitHub is actually event_espresso-en.po instead of event_espresso-en_US.po. Should we change the file name to match en_US as entered in the wp-config.php file?

I noticed that in the WordPress General Settings it has a Site Language selection which it says replaces the WPLANG in the wp-config.php file. I have tried selecting English (United States) from the dropdown but it doesn’t stay there when I save it.

Hi Adele,

I noticed that the file to download from GitHub is actually event_espresso-en.po instead of event_espresso-en_US.po. Should we change the file name to match en_US as entered in the wp-config.php file?

Event Espresso checks for event_espresso-*locale*.mo (the .mo file is built from the .po file when you save) so in your example the filename should be event_espresso-en_US.po

Where are you currently placing those files?

I noticed that in the WordPress General Settings it has a Site Language selection which it says replaces the WPLANG in the wp-config.php file. I have tried selecting English (United States) from the dropdown but it doesn’t stay there when I save it.

What is it currently set to?

I have put the .mo and .po files into this directory:
wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages

The Site Language isn’t set to anything but has English (United States) as an option but it doesn’t stay there when selected – I think this is possibly because I updated the wp-config.php to have en_US but in the language folder for the theme I’m using it doesn’t exist?

Hi Adele,

Can you send me the .mo and .po files your are currently using to support[at]eventespresso.com please?

I’d like to see if I can see a reason for these not loading.
