English default23 missing number of keys

Those missing keys are old keys and more than likey were used for testing.  You can try to remove them with my free plugin.

as per the admin settings general issue, try to refresh your cache.  


here are two helpful links about it

Either way i am missing language text. See my post. The table names show where the language text should be:-)

OK somehow that key did not get set in your DB i dont know how but you an add it. 


go to admin - >  settings -> language


then you will need to edit the url in your browser to go to the special dev tools section of the language.  


the current url shows 


example.com/admin/settings/languages


you will need to edit that url to look like this 


example.com/admin/settings/dev-tools/languages


your just adding dev-tools to the url


then once your in there


your going to click on the ADD NEW TEXT link


then for the SECTION select  admin  from the dropdown


for the key put  sidebar_menu_item_seo_settings


for the content  text just put  SEO 


then click ADD  


and your done, it should show SEO on your admin seo page now.

webster here is what i show when i pullup your site. 




so everything looks fine except the questions deal is, what is that? 


also webster please when stuff like this happens, start a new topic because its kinda rude to hijack someone elses topic.  Im sure you would not like it, you know buddy?  Its just good manners ;)

you can get that from the oxwall download


my paid version allows you to save everything before you clean it so you can restore it.  I dont know if there is a conflict with that plugin or not, but if there is one and we can find it ill fix it.  But i dont have the credits plugin sorry.  But the only way that would happen is if the lang key for the credits and that other plugin were empty because thats all it checks for.

Hi Dave,

So i re-install "Download Oxwall update pack 1.8.4" ?
It will fix everything ?
dave Leader
dave Dec 8 '16
I dont know webster i have never had anything like this happen before with my plugins, i have never had to redo the language pack.  


I think you just find the language pack and re upload it... i dont know bud... 


if its just those couple of items with those two plugins, then  just replace those two keys manually via the instructions i put before. 


just by chance are you using cloudflare

actually i think in your case the keys are still there its the value.  So do a listing in your language section under that plugin name, find that key and put the value in there.

actually if thats the membership plugin then just go to the download of the membership plugin you have, and upload that langs zip file to the membership plugin and over write the old one and then it should work.


but i promise you its not my plugin,  259 people have used my free plugin and there has not been any issue like this, actually no issues at all.  So something is not right with those other plugins the way they do their language keys im guessing.

I read on a post, at one time, that if you go to admin / settings / languages, and click on "Save" at the bottom of the page, it will re-compile the language keys. It's worth a try.

If this occurred after an update, or install, it may not have competed for some reason.
