 * Hi,
 * How can I change this string in blue box? It means “there is no results in the
   search”. I have been looking up in the code, I finally changed it but it doesn’t
   work.

 * Hi!
 * It looks like the original string has been altered to remove the variable %s –
   add that back in the original and make sure it is present in the translated version,
   too, or else GD will revert to the plugin file version. Also make sure your PO
   and MO files both are in the wp-content folder as described here. Check the bottom
   of the page for the details on hiding a variable with inline CSS.
 * Make sure you use POEdit to also create an MO files. Just loading the PO file
   is not enough by itself – need the PO and the MO files.

 * Thank you for the answer. I am trying it but I don’t achieve the goal.
    1. I understand the first you tell me. I can’t remove the variable. Ok, so this
       is okay right?:

 * 2. “Make sure your PO and MO files both are in the wp-content folder”:
 * Yes the PO and MO files are in the same place where I find them: /public_html/
   wp-content/languages/plugins
 * 3. “Make sure you use POEdit to also create an MO files. Just loading the PO 
   file is not enough by itself – need the PO and the MO files.”:
 * I don’t understand this. POEdit??
 * I just want to delete some words!
 * Now the text in spanish is:
 * No se encontraron anuncios que coincidan con tu selección. ¿Algo falta? ¿Por 
   qué no [Añadir un anuncio? ](https://fertily.es/anadir-anuncios/clinicas-fertilidad/).
 * And it needs to be like this:
 * **No se encontraron anuncios que coincidan con tu selección. **

 * Hello,
 * the actual changed text will be inside the MO file, so, use POedit and that will
   create both files for you. Once created you upload them to the languages folder.
