Set a Specific Language in WP Ghost

To set a different language for WP Ghost plugin using a WordPress hook, you can follow this tutorial. This method involves using the plugin_locale filter to force the WP Ghost plugin to use a specific language (like English) even if the WordPress dashboard is in a different language.

Set Plugin Language to English

• Open the wp-config.php file: Use File Manager from your server panel or an FTP client (like FileZilla) or your hosting provider’s file manager to locate the wp-config.php file in your WordPress root directory.

• Add the Language Filter Code: At the end of the wp-config.php file, paste the following code:

   add_filter( 'plugin_locale', function ($locale, $plugin){
       if( $plugin === 'hide-my-wp' ){
          return 'en_US'; // Forces the plugin to use the 'en_US' locale
       }
   }, 11, 2 );

• Save the Changes: Save the modified wp-config.php file and upload it back to the WordPress root directory if you’re using an FTP client.

Important Notes

• The locale code en_US forces English as the language. You can change this to any other WordPress locale code (e.g., fr_FR for French) if you prefer another language.
• This code is added to wp-config.php rather than functions.php because we want to enforce the setting in the admin dashboard and not the frontend theme section.
• Be cautious when editing wp-config.php — ensure you don’t accidentally alter other settings, as this could lead to site errors.

This method forces WP Ghost to display in English (or the specified language) regardless of the language set for the rest of the WordPress dashboard.
