Woo-Vipps Plugin Translation Loading Bug

Woo-Vipps Plugin Translation Loading Bug Report Issue Summary

The plugin fails to load translations correctly because it uses an incorrect path when calling load_plugin_textdomain(). Problem Location

File: payment/Vipps.class.php
Line: 2382
Method: after_setup_theme() Current (Incorrect) Code

$ok = Vipps::load_plugin_textdomain('woo-vipps', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . "/languages");

Problem

• __FILE__ in this context is payment/Vipps.class.php
• basename(dirname(__FILE__)) returns "payment"
• This results in the path: "payment/languages"
• WordPress looks for: wp-content/plugins/woo-vipps/payment/languages/woo-vipps-{locale}.mo
• But the actual file is at: wp-content/plugins/woo-vipps/languages/woo-vipps-{locale}.mo

Expected Behavior

The plugin should use the correct path: "woo-vipps/languages" Fix

Change line 2382 from:

$ok = Vipps::load_plugin_textdomain('woo-vipps', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . "/languages");

To:

$ok = Vipps::load_plugin_textdomain('woo-vipps', false, basename( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ) . "/languages");

This goes up two directory levels (from payment/Vipps.class.php to woo-vipps) instead of one. Impact

• All translations fail to load (plugin shows English text regardless of WordPress locale)
• Affects all locales (da_DK, sv_SE, nb_NO, fi, etc.)
• Users see untranslated strings like “Please wait while we are preparing your order” instead of localized versions

Verification

Translation files exist at the correct location:

• woo-vipps/languages/woo-vipps-da_DK.mo ✓
• woo-vipps/languages/woo-vipps-sv_SE.mo ✓
• etc.

But plugin tries to load from:

• woo-vipps/payment/languages/woo-vipps-da_DK.mo ✗ (doesn’t exist)

Test Case

1. Set WordPress locale to da_DK
2. Navigate to Vipps express checkout page
3. Expected: “Vent venligst mens vi forbereder din ordre”
4. Actual: “Please wait while we are preparing your order”
