Localization
Versions 1.5.5 and above support localization. The localization template file (flexipages.pot) can be found in the ‘languages’ folder of the plugin. The resulting PO and MO files should go in the ‘flexi-pages-widget/languages/’ directory, and should be named in the format `flexipages-xx_YY.po` and `flexipages-xx_YY.mo` files respectively. Where xx refers to the language code and YY to the locale. For example, the German translation files will have the name `flexipages-de_DE.po` and `flexipages-de_DE.mo`. This xx_YY should be the same as the value you define for WPLANG in wp-config.php.
An application like poEdit can be used to translate the plugin, or just translate the strings in the flexipages.pot file and send it to the plugin author. All translations sent to the author will be bundled with the next version of the plugin.
As of version 1.6.1, Flexi Pages Widget is translated into the following languages:

German (de_DE) by Frank W. Hempel
Dutch (nl_NL) by Rene
Brazilian Portugese (pt_BR) by Tzor More
Russian (ru_RU) by Fat Cow.
Swedish (sv_SE) by Ove Kaufeldt

Hello! What a great plugin! I just started using it and have a quick question.
Is there a way to show only the Parent page and sub-pages when you select from the menu? Right now, it shows all the parent pages and the sub-pages of the page selected.
Hi, thank you for the plugin – its great!
I have the same Problem like Daniel. My level0 Menu is in the header and all subpages with your plugin in the sidebar. I include all subpages and switched hierachy option off. It works that way, but my subpages level 1 and 2 are no more sorted the way they should. If i use just Level0 at the top and Level1 with your plugin its ok. If i have level 2 also, then the sort order is wrong and level 2 and 1 are at the same level.
Thanks
Tom
Sorry our sites unpublished. I have a “bug” with having multiple occurrences of flexi-pages and the “order” they appear in. For example, I add in two flexi-pages widgets, which i love by the way! But when i add in a third widget, flexi-pages or something else, it will only appear at the “top” of the listing. I have to say this is one of my favorite plug-ins even though I just started using it last week – THANK YOU!!!!!!
I am trying to include only the sibling pages without the top level pages. If I use the child_of option with an exact value, it works fine (ie flexipages(‘child_of=249′)). But if I do something like:
$parentID = $post->post_parent;
flexipages(‘child_of=$parentID’);
It does not (I only get the top level pages). Is there a way to have the ID of the parent page as a variable?
Thank you.
Never mind, I figured it out:
$parentID = $post->post_parent;
flexipages(‘child_of=’.$parentID);
Thanks for the great work
Hi,
Is it possible to apply wp_list_pages filter before displaying widget content ? It is useful if someone use All in one seo pack for changing page name in menu. It is simple change:
flexi_pages_widget.php, start line 317:
$output .= $before_widget;
if($title && $pagelist)
$output .= $before_title . $title . $after_title . “\n”;
$output .= $before_pagelist . $pagelist . $after_pagelist . “\n”;
/* $before_pagelist and $after_pagelist are widget arguments that
can be defined in the functions.php of your theme.
These arguments can be used, for example, if you want to enclose
the pagelist within a .
*/
$output .= $after_widget;
echo apply_filters(‘wp_list_pages’, $output);
Thanks.
i just downloaded and installed the latest version of flexipages and now they won’t work properly. i am using the latest version of wordpress. help!
That doesn’t help. More details please?
The widgets do not show up on my website. In the “widget” section of the Appearance tab they are properly located in my sidebar, but they do not show up on my actual website. I have tried logging out of wordpress and logging back in, deactivating the plugin and re-activating it, etc.
First time on this forum.
I was having trouble with Flexi Pages for the first time.
All other versions worked fine for me
Now with Version 1.6.1, my widget does not show up at all.
The ONLY way I could get it to work….I just by chance had an OLD version 1.5.2. I deleted the newest version and reinstalled the old version and WELLAH it was back to working great>>>>
I installed the older version which works perfectly. If possible, I’d love to know why the newest version is not working. Thank you.
