I recently installed Magento 2 Blog extension FREE and I want to adjust templates to suite my theme and add some translation strings.

I know that template overrides should be placed in:

app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/themeName/ExtVendor_ExtName/templates

but I don't know what is proper path for this particular module. I tried alot of naming conventions - small and big letters, with and without hypens - but any of them works.

Now I have:

app/design/fontend/Gbitdev/theme-green/Mageplaza_Magento-2-blog-extension/templates/widget/posts.phtml

and after any change I just copy this file to:

vendor/mageplaza/magento-2-blog-extension/view/frontend/templates/widget/posts.phtml

Second problem are translations for third-party extensions: I cant find on web where they should be placed? Is proper way is place e.g. pl_PL.csv in 

app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/themeName/ExtVendor_ExtName/i18n

or I should just add translation strings to my template translations theme/i18n/pl_PL.csv. Second way is not working at now becouse (I think) I don't know 4th column (e.g. Magento_Search).

For Magento 2 modules you can always find the right module name in registration.php. So in the case of Mageplaza's module that would be Mageplaza_Blog.

So for your theme: app/design/fontend/Gbitdev/theme-green/Mageplaza_Blog/templates

As for the translations, you can place your csv file simply in app/design/frontend/{Vendorname}/{themename}/i18n/ (No module name in this path).

Which means it sounds like you're doing it right. Are you clearing your cache after each change?

  • Yes, Yes Yesi Mageplaza_Blog just works ;] And with translations - when I just started with magento but I find it's convenient to disable cache completely - on local machine it doesn't make much performance impact.I even tried bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f pl_PL.

  • Even when I added 3rd and 4th column (I have now "Posted on %1","Utworzony przez %1",module,Mageplaza_Blog) to follow convention from "Sign In","Logowanie",module,Magento_Customer it is not working anyway.

  • Apologies for the delay. But you only need 2 columns. For example: app/design/frontend/{Vendor}\{MyTheme}\i18n\pl_PL.csv -> "Posted on %1","Utworzony przez %1" should be enough. Clear cache after making changes. But do note that any strings translated in the translation database table take preference.
