Important Notes: please read first!

These notes apply to both WPGlobus (free) and TIV Globus (Pro).

  • NO AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION:
    • The plugin does NOT translate texts automatically! You translate texts manually.
    • All translations are stored together in a special format: {:en}English{:}{:fr}French{:}{:es}Spanish{:}. If the plugin is not active, every language shows at once and your site becomes unreadable. Before you deactivate and uninstall, you must run the cleanup tool to remove all languages but one. See the details in the plugin’s settings.
