Text domain not loading in constructor
-
I’m struggeling with this for two days, and Google, nor my “WordPress Plugin Development” handbook can help me. I’m really out of options.
Summarized, I’m building a (FAQ) plugin and I have trouble loading the text domain.
If I load it the ‘traditional’ functional way, it works fine.
If I put it in the constructor of a class, it fails.
The code below is trimmed to loading the text domain only, but the same constructor also creates a custom post type and a custom taxonomy, and that works just fine. So the problem in the constructor is restricted to loading the text domain only.For your perception: This is the first time that I build a plugin the OO way. So it is also quite possible that I have an error in my code. However I haven’t found it yet.
This works fine (functional method):
/** Load text domain */ add_action('plugins_loaded', 'wdfaq_load_textdomain'); function wdfaq_load_textdomain() { load_plugin_textdomain( 'wd-faq', false, dirname( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '/languages/' ); }This doesn’t load the text domain (OO method):
class wd_faq { /** Constructor */ public function __construct() { add_action('plugins_loaded', array($this,'wdfaq_load_textdomain'), 0 ); // Load text domain } /** Load text domain */ public function wdfaq_load_textdomain() { load_plugin_textdomain( 'wd-faq', false, dirname( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '/languages/' ); } } $faq = new wd_faq();Neither does this (OO method simplified):
class wd_faq { /** Constructor */ public function __construct() { load_plugin_textdomain( 'wd-faq', false, dirname( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '/languages/' ); } } $faq = new wd_faq();I have checked the file names and they are OK:
wd-faq-en_US.mo
wd-faq-nl_NL.mo(Btw, if they were not OK, the functional method would fail too of course)
