Hey saludcasera,
Thanks for reporting this.
Is this possible to reproduce somehow, and are you saying that when English WordPress Admin is disabled, the update notification goes away immediately?
The plugin doesn’t have anything in the code that specifically touches the update process but I have a sneaking suspicion this may be related to the Translation Updates feature.
Next time you have the update prompt, try putting this code in your themes functions.php and see if they disappear:
add_filter( 'auto_update_translation', '__return_false' );
(After verifying, you can remove the code again.)
Yes, it goes away when I turn the plugin off and never happens with the plugin turned off.
I will try your suggestion. Can I add this line anywhere on the function.php?
Also, if I go to the update page for WordPress and click on “check again” then the message goes away, but it will eventually come back, after few hours.
Actually, I just noticed an even more disturbing trend, now the new feature under settings, to change the website language, changes when you change the language in the plugin.
I want my website in Spanish and the admin backoffice in English, and that is what I use the plugin for.
But it is becoming a challenge now.
Update : You can’t change the website to any language other than English, if the plugin is in English.
Thanks for the support.
I tried your code and it doesn’t work and on my last report, it isn’t just your plugin, I installed another one and the same happens.
Whenever you change the admin language using the plugin to change the admin langague, the new feature under settings, changes as well and remains the same as the plugin.
Hey saludcasera,
What is this “new feature under settings” that you are talking about?
Maybe you can show some screenshots of it, because I don’t quite understand what you mean.
“new”, it’s the feature where you can set the wordpress language without having to edit the wpconfig
Settings > General and scroll to the bottom.
Hey saludcasera,
Good catch!
This is a new feature, I think we can find a way for it to work with English WordPress Admin. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have investigated this! 🙂
saludcasera,
After checking, this issue is related to the introduction of a new feature where admins can change their site language from the Settings > General page. Keep track of this ticket:
https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/29362#comment:5
I have released version 1.3.2 which works around this by not translating the Settings > General page. This ticket will remain open until a more permanent fix is available.
Since the ticket in question will likely not be fixed any time soon, I have implemented support for updating language packs while the plugin is running. Closing issue.
