Technical Requirements

In order for these methods to work, the CreativeMinds plugin must be set up in such a way that labels are stored in the wp_options table or wrapped with the _() or e() functions at some point.

Most of our plugins follow both requirements. If that is not the case with the one you are working with, contact us.
