Translation Loading Error Fix
December 5, 2024 ยท AI Conversations
Plugin: flexible-shipping-pro
Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wc_catalog_restrictions domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.)
This issue appears in the `flexible-shipping-pro` plugin when it tries to load translations for the `wc_catalog_restrictions` domain prematurely.
### Steps to Resolve:
1. **Check the Plugin Code:**
– Open the `flexible-shipping-pro` plugin files.
– Look for instances where `load_plugin_textdomain()` or similar translation-related functions are called.
– Ensure these calls are hooked into the `init` action or later, as shown below:
add_action('init', function () {
load_plugin_textdomain('wc_catalog_restrictions', false, dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)) . '/languages');
});
2. **Update the Plugin:**
– Ensure you're using the latest version of the `flexible-shipping-pro` plugin. Developers may have already addressed this issue in a newer release.
3. **Report the Issue:**
– If the plugin code appears fine or you don't want to modify the plugin yourself, report the issue to the plugin developers. Provide them with the error message and details about your WordPress version and environment.
4. **Temporary Fix:**
– If you're comfortable editing plugin code, wrap the problematic function call in a hook for the `init` action. For example:
add_action('init', function () {
// Original plugin code that triggers translations too early
_load_textdomain_just_in_time();
});
5. **Debugging:**
– Enable `WP_DEBUG` and `WP_DEBUG_LOG` in your `wp-config.php` file to capture more details about the error.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
### Why This Happens:
WordPress enforces translation loading at specific stages of execution to ensure proper localization. Loading translations too early can cause unexpected behavior because the necessary environment isn't fully set up yet.
By following the steps above, you can ensure translations load correctly without triggering warnings or errors.
