[...] Although both will call your functions the same way, and you actually could — but never should! — apply add_action() to lists of filters and vice versa, or use apply_filters() instead of do_action() or even do_action() instead of apply_filters(), keeping them functionally and semantically separate is absolutely critical. As Samuel Wood says in “Actions and Filters Are Not the Same Thing”: [...]

Comment on How to leverage the Theme Customizer in your own themes by Chris Wallace

This is something we're working on for the next major update to Typecase Pro. We already implemented a live editor on the front-end but we think it will be really seamless to be able to use the Theme Customizer for this.

Yes, that could be done in a theme. You’d have to write the code to do it, but it’s totally doable.

Hi, amazing job!
I would like to know, is there any way to add Google Fonts to theme customizer? You could choose the font from the list, and see in the preview, how it looks on the page. Can it be done without modifying wordpress core files?

You would write custom code to allow them to do that. Or use one of the many plugins that does exactly that sort of thing:

Could you point me in right direction where I could read up how a user can input their custom text in multiple languages?

Thank you

Well, it doesn’t really make any sense to use this type of functionality to translate “content”. If the creator of the website is translating it themselves anyway, then just give them a place to type in the translated text and save it in the database.

The whole point of the POMO files concept is that the end-user doesn’t need to translate the text themselves. They download the pre-made translation file, set a few settings, and it all translates. If the end-user has to put in their own translations, then you can save it in the DB same as any other text they’re putting in.

I understand that I broke rule one with that. Sorry I forgot to write “not” in the second last sentence. I meant not a very good idea. Sorry!

I created a custom POMO for it. There are only six custom fields creating only six strings all in the same file.
e.g
#: home.php
msgid “Call to Action English”
msgstr “Call-to-Action Deutsch”

The custom po file is in child theme so that it does not interfere with the main POMO files. The reason for this is that everyone is going to input their own text and will need a way to translate it if they want a multilingual site.

If you look in the image you see that I have entered Call To Action English. So the text placed in the home.phph file with the code I used above and then this text was translated.
