• Do you offer free support for this theme?

  Unfortunately, we do not have the time and resources to offer free support for this theme. If you have encountered a bug that can be traced back to Fionn, we will certainly take care of that immediately. However, if you require basic support for your blog and/or on how to customize certain elements of Fionn, please ask the WordPress community or in web developer forums. SRS Solutions only offers paid support.

• What languages does Fionn support?

  We rely heavily on volunteers to translate Fionn into other languages and update existing languages to the latest version. If you are interested to support the project, please translate Fionn into your own language.

• How does the sidebar work?

  The sidebar is divided into four sections, each of which represents one widget bar. The following widget bars are available: Sidebar Top, Sidebar Left, Sidebar Right and Sidebar Bottom. These widget bars are all laid out within the sidebar as you can see in the picture on the right.

  This layout give you the flexibility to choose how to put together your widget bars.

  If you intend to customize the sidebar itself, please refer to the Fionn options page, where you can set the position and other parameters of the sidebar.

• I want to help and make this theme available in my language. How do I translate the theme properly?

  Translation is rather easy. Please follow the steps below to translate the project into your own language.

  1. Download and install Poedit (availabe for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux).
  2. Open Poedit. Click on File > New catalog from POT file... and select the default.POT file in the /languages directory of Fionn (from the WordPress root: wp-content\themes\fionn\languages).
  3. Poedit will ask for some information regarding the new catalog you are about to create. Most important: Select the language that you will create. In addition, you can specify the Fionn version that your translation applies to. The other fields are optional. There is no need to go to the other two tabs Paths or Keywords.
  4. Click OK. Poedit will then ask you to save the translated file. Save it as a valid language file. This is usually <language abbreviation>_<country code>, whereas the language abbreviation is defined in ISO 639-1 and the country code is defined in ISO 3166 alpha 2. Example: en_GB (English, Great Britain), en_US (English, United States) or de_DE (German, Germany).
  5. Once saved, all you need to do is translate each and every string by clicking on it, and translating it in the box on the very bottom of Poedit.
  6. Save the catalog by pressing CTRL + S or going to File > Save. Poedit will automatically create a .po and a .mo file.
  7. That's it. We would appreciate if you shared your newly translated catalog with us (the .po file will be sufficient). We will make it publicly available in the next Fionn release. Thank you.
