Problem: The client was unable to apply dynamic variables like 'site title' and 'tagline' using the SEOPress SEO plugin across the whole site or specific posts/pages. They also encountered issues with translations not appearing correctly on their live site, despite settings adjustments and cache flushing. Solution: 1. The client set dynamic variables in the SEOPress settings under 'Titles and Metas - Home'. 2. They translated the necessary strings for the site title and tagline into the second language. 3. After discovering discrepancies in the database strings through PHPMyAdmin, the client corrected these by removing commas and ensuring consistency in naming. 4. This adjustment led to the correct display of the site title in the second language on the front end. If you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend checking your SEO plugin settings and ensuring all relevant strings are translated in WPML. Additionally, verify database entries for consistency if problems persist. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please visit our support forum to open a new ticket.

Problem: The client is using the Blocksy Theme on their WordPress site and has encountered an issue where the post-time format in English ('F j, Y') is not translating correctly to Chinese Traditional ('Y 年 n 月 j 日') for single posts. Despite ensuring all translations related to the time/date format have been applied, the translation only affects the update time, not the post-time.
Solution: We identified that the issue stemmed from the Customizer settings under Blog -> Single Post -> Post Title -> Post Meta. The solution involves ensuring that the theme is updated to the latest version as the Blocksy team has released an update addressing this compatibility issue. Additionally, it is crucial to enable aggressive options for string scan and auto-registration. The client should also check and adjust the date format settings from 'Default' to 'Custom' if necessary, to ensure the translations are registered and appear correctly. If the problem persists on a customized theme, we recommend reinstalling a fresh copy of the theme to eliminate any customization conflicts.
