Title: Getting started Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Getting started * Resolved [vfmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vfmb/) * (@vfmb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/) * I am having trouble getting this up and running on my site. I have already used it successfully on one site about 6 months ago, but on this new site, it is having all sorts of problems. Do you have a step by step guide to setting up the links between pages? I am pretty sure it is installed properly (the pro version), and the sites are linked, but I can’t get the pages to link, and if I use the ‘translate page’ boxes, they don’t save anything I type into them…?? WordPress 3.6 and the latest version of your plugin. Pls help!?! I would be really grateful 🙂 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [fuxia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefuxia/) * (@thefuxia) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098059) * I have written a setup guide on our plugin page: [http://marketpress.com/product/multilingual-press-pro/](http://marketpress.com/product/multilingual-press-pro/) * There are very few steps to get it running. I am rewriting our interface right now; once that’s done, I will try to improve the docs. It would really help if you could tell me what exactly is difficult; I just don’t see it anymore. 🙂 * Thread Starter [vfmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vfmb/) * (@vfmb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098061) * thank you so much for the setup guide. I have decided to clean up a bit before trying again – emptying trash bins etc, all with the MLP disabled. Once I’ve finished, I’ll activate it again and see if it handles the links better. Will be in touch if I am still having problems. Thank again 🙂 * Thread Starter [vfmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vfmb/) * (@vfmb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098232) * Hi. Sorry to have to get back to this. I can’t get the Home pages to link right at all. For all other pages I have created, I ticked the box to translate, translated them, and they are find. But for the homepage, when I am in the primary site it just will not save any changes I make to the translation bit – If I uncheck the box it rechecks it, if I edit the text it deletes it, and there is no linked page on the secondary site (when it ‘created’ all the other translated pages by itself, it doesn’t seem to want to do this one). * Can you help? * Thread Starter [vfmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vfmb/) * (@vfmb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098233) * Dear Toscho, I would also like to move the ‘switcher’ to another position – again, I did this some time ago on another site and had no trouble, but can’t remember the steps involved (and have no record I am afraid). * I want to move it into the ‘footer’ but there is no ‘widget area’ for the footer in my wordpress interface, and I can’t seem to put it into the footer layout. I seem to remember doing something like ‘register a sidebar’ or a widget somewhere?? Sorry to be so vague. I’d be so grateful if you could point me in the right direction… * many many thanks in advance * [fuxia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefuxia/) * (@thefuxia) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098234) * Not sure about the home page problem. Can you describe all steps I need to reproduce your setup? * To register a new sidebar, follow the [steps described in the Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar), then call [`dynamic_sidebar()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar) where you need it. You can place the widget there then. * In most cases it is better to place the language switcher at the top of a page, because it is easier to find there. The [pro version](http://marketpress.com/product/multilingual-press-pro/) comes with a _Quicklink_ feature: it allows you to place the language switcher in your post content automatically. Saves a sidebar, and it is really easy to find. 🙂 * Thread Starter [vfmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vfmb/) * (@vfmb) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098249) * Hi and thanks. Actually it is the pro version I have 🙂 and the ‘footer’ is actually a long column on the right hand side of the site…for some reason. What info do you need? the site is ulrichwien.at – I will take off the coming soon page so you can see, but I am reluctant to post all my wordpress login info here!! * I don’t want the language switcher in the post, as its actually a restaurant website. I’d rather have it in either the top right hand corner (which is defined as the footer form what I can tell), or if I can’t get that to work and look good, then I guess I could live with it in the left hand sidebar somewhere towards the top – but I think this might be more difficult? * thanks so much for you help vicky * [fuxia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefuxia/) * (@thefuxia) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-46/#post-4098250) * Please use our pro support forum.
