This guide/post is only for ClassicPress instance with issues on selecting and saving the language!
In ClassicPress Beta 2 we added our endpoint to download automatically the language for your instance.
The implementation has some problems because of a wrong file name that was not reconized from the system.
Current behavior with problems
One of the most common problem reported (on Slack and in the forum) was the installation from scratch of ClassicPress and choosing a language different from English (US) with CP that was not using the language choosen.
After the installation the language was still not configured correctly and was required a manual save like in this screen.
How to fix
We fixed the issue on our server so you don’t need any changes in ClassicPress code.
The only change that you need to do is:
- Remove manually this files
core-{slug}.po/mofromwp-content/languages - Reconfigure the locale from Administration/backend of ClassicPress in Settings->General
Automatically will be downloaded the file with the right name and saved in the right way.
For new installation of ClassicPress instead the problem is not already happening anymore.
If you don’t have this files core-{slug}.po/mo you don’t have this problem and you can ignore this thread
