Maybe the theme you're using has it's own modifications.english.php file     If so, rename it so the mods will look for the modifications.english.php file in the default/languages folder.

What RoarinRow points out, is the most likely cause.  This is something I've mentioned in the past, and hopefully, SMF might someday actually fix this.

There are two ways you can fix this, and keep all of your current settings (do one or the other, first is recommended way):

1) In your current theme (and any new themes you install) if they have a /Themes/<your theme>/languages/Modifications.english.php file, then edit that file and at the very top, but under the opening php tag ( <?php ) add the following line:

Code Select Expand


include_once($settings['default_theme_dir']."/languages/Modifications.english.php");


NOTE: If you are using a language other than English, use the appropriate language file instead.

2)  Copy the information in <your Theme>/languages/Modifications.<language>.php file to the /default/languages/Modifications.<language>.php file, then remove your Theme's Modifications.<language>.php file.

I've had to do #2 before, but glad there's an overall manual fix.   :up:

oops.. I see it might not have been too clear for item #1 so I modified the post...

I tried doing number 1 but it didn't work. Still get that gap

Sounds like you might have installed them while not in the default theme.  Every mod you install, you should do so while you are in the default theme.  In otherwords, switch to default theme, install mod, switch back to your theme of choice.

Anyway, if you switch to the default theme and you still see the gaps that will tell you the language text strings are missing from the default, in which case the info I gave above won't help you.  You'll need to get them in the default first, then the info above will work for you just fine.
