Change button text

[Lionel]

Hello,

Please could you check the attached image here : http://i.cubeupload.com/nHRFs6.jpg and tell me how to replace the text “Afficher les événements” by “Afficher événements” ?

And, if you could tell me how to change the color of the button, too, it would be great!

Thank you. 🙂

Good evening Lionel and welcome back!

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

There are 2 ways to accomplish what you are trying to do (change the text):

• By modifying the text found in our French language file (found in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang)
• By adding the following bit of code to your WordPress: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/

As for changing the button’s colour, you just need to add a CSS rule to your WordPress theme. Here’s an example to make it black:

#tribe-bar-form .tribe-bar-submit input[type=submit] {
background: #000;
}

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hello Geoff,
Thank you.

I would ike to use the 1st method.

1) Whis one of these 4 files need I to edit ?
– the-events-calendar-fr-ca.po
– the-events-calendar-fr-ca.mo
– the-events-calendar-fr_FR.po
– the-events-calendar-fr_FR.mo

2) I searched on each of these 4 files, and there is no match for the search “afficher les événements” ! 🙁

Hey Lionel,

As a side note, I can totally switch this conversation to French if you prefer 🙂

1) Whis one of these 4 files need I to edit ?
– the-events-calendar-fr-ca.po
– the-events-calendar-fr-ca.mo
– the-events-calendar-fr_FR.po
– the-events-calendar-fr_FR.mo

To answer your question, it depends on the language of the WordPress install (found in Settings -> General)

2) I searched on each of these 4 files, and there is no match for the search “afficher les événements” !

Hmmm, could you try the same search with “Find Events” as a search string instead ?

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hey Geoff,

Thank you, but let’s continue in English, I need to work my english 😉

I searched, but nothing. Please check following link :

Hello Lionel,

Oh, I see, you are using WPML 🙂

Could you please provide us with your system information in a private reply to make sure I have the complete picture? (following the instructions found in the link)

In WPML if you update the po/mo files, you will need to re-scan them from the “Localisation du thème et des modules d’extensions” screen.

Also, could you confirm if you followed the instructions in this post for setting up WPML ?

Have a great day!

Hey Lionel,

Thank you for sharing your system information.

As an unrelated comment, just a word of caution on the The Events Calendar: Frontend Submission plugin, as we do not support it.

How about searching for the following string instead: Afficher les %s ?

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hey Geoff,

I don’t know why, but it shows the right string now. Maybe cache thing ?
In any case, thank you ! 🙂

[Geoff B.]

Hey Lionel,

Hmmm, not sure what happened exactly, but I guess the important part is that it works now 🙂

Come back to our forums anytime.

Have a good week-end,

Geoff B.
