    Hello,

    Did you do backup files before the update?

    Make sure that translation files of the theme are placed in /wp-content/languages/themes/ folder
    plugins, like core plugin on your screenshot, in /wp-content/languages/plugins folder.
    After every update, you need to synchronize translation – https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-translation/translation-files-update/ Sometimes new strings are added, and only after synchronization, you’ll be able to translate new strings or strings that were changed. Not always, but some strings can be missing after the sync and you need to find and translate them one more time, this is independent of us and relates to WP functionality. Also, do a backup of all the files before any update – https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-installation/theme-update/

    Hello,

    We don’t have access to the mentioned files to check them.
    Upload XStore theme translation files to /wp-content/languages/themes/ and XStore core plugin translation files to /wp-content/languages/plugins.

    Regards

    Hi, I tried that and it doesn’t work. I have one .po and one .mo file. Do I upload the 2 files in both directories you suggested? I manually uploaded them under the theme directory, and it didn’t work.
    Can I upload the .po file via the loco translate? and if so, which location should I select?
    Last, Do I upload it in the Store, or child theme?

    Hello,

    We can’t see your screenshots. Use Gayzo or Lightshot screenshot tools to make and share screenshots.
    Translation files of the theme, like xstore-tr_TR.mo and xstore-tr_TR.po, should be uploaded into /wp-content/languages/themes folder, not xstore or xstore-child folder, but “themes folder, like – https://gyazo.com/f9050eecaec41aa78a957bd3289408d6 It can be done via FTP or Loco translate – https://gyazo.com/a434faf91d31e92413a02ee4a2de5102
    Translation of XStore Core plugin – https://gyazo.com/696beed4c7397aeb45ee6af06f8e4361
    I hope it is clear now.

    Check translation of XStore Core plugin.
    Provide temporary wp-admin access, so we can take a closer look.

    Yes, strings from the theme and Core come to different places on the site. For example, My account element (Header builder) https://gyazo.com/53f8479da033add592d7d5b4eff80929 was coded in the Core plugin that means that translation should be done for the Core plugin. My account page is re-written the default WC template via our theme, so strings of the page are placed in the theme, and so on.
