Set language per post

by

I have a bi-lingual blog with English as the main language and Arabic. Currently I use the post “Custom Field” to indicate that the post is Arabic and I use that in my child theme to change the direction to RTL and the text translation to Arabic, however, I do that manually which means I fully customize the theme with strings in both languages and pick the correct one based on the custom field value and also set the direction for the html tags for the post title, body and comments. It is working, however, changing the theme later means I need to redo everything. I am also trying to use a comment plugin “wpDiscuz” but there is no easy way to control the language other than editing the plugin itself which I don’t want to do since I want to be able to update it easily and not redo the changes after every update.

Unable to save custom taxonomy terms in a custom-built metabox

by

I’ve roughly followed the tutorial here on how to create “custom taxonomy input panels”. I’m using a custom post type of homes and a custom taxonomy called beds (used to record the number of beds in a house). I’ve got the taxonomy terms showing up in a drop down menu, but cannot get them to save when the post is saved. I started to just post the code that is intended to save the term, but realized that I should post the code that creates and displays the metabox as well, for context. The custom post type name is ‘homes’ and the custom taxonomy name is ‘beds’. The taxonomy is hierarchical (not that I think that matters in this case, but I could be wrong).
