adjust wordings on add event page

[Philipp von Schulthess]

Hi,

I could change the order of the elements on the add event page. However, I would like to rename titles and others on this page

https://www.soldoona.com/events/community/hinzufuegen

i.e. “Ausstellungstitel”, “Ausstellungsort Details” …

Although I checked the language files of the event calendar and the event calendar community events, I cannot find the strings to translate. There is no file in which the words “Ausstellungstitel” oder “Ausstellungsort Details” are saved.

Where are they?

Thank you for letting me know how to adjust some wordings.

regards
Philipp

Good evening Philipp and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

In order to change the sequence of the elements on the page, you will need to do a custom view template. You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Simply put, you make your own version of the view and upload it back in the appropriate folder located in the  /tribe-events/ folder of your WordPress theme.

As for the language files, some of the strings are located in Community Events, while others come straight from the Events Calendar (even though they appear on the Community Events page).

This probably explains why you are not able to find them.

I highly recommend reading the 3 following articles on translation:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/incomplete-translations/

With that in mind, there is a different approach to changing strings: a code snippet.

You could apply the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top) after entering your modified strings:  https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/29903a974cb84060957881c17613c278

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
