change 'Event Category' in Event Detail page

[Nicole]

hello,
where can i change ‘Event Category’ to ‘Internships’ in Event Detail page?

i would also like to turn off the links of those categories.

I tried putting it into my formerly successful functions.php snippet, but no go:

function tribe_custom_theme_text ( $translations, $text, $domain ) {
 
	// Put your custom text here in a key => value pair
	// Example: 'Text you want to change' => 'This is what it will be changed to'
	// The text you want to change is the key, and it is case-sensitive
	// The text you want to change it to is the value
	// You can freely add or remove key => values, but make sure to separate them with a comma
	// This example changes the label "Venue" to "Location", and "Related Events" to "Similar Events"
	$custom_text = array(
		'Select' => 'Location',
		'All Events' => 'All Internships',
		'There were no results found.' => 'There were no results found — see next month.',
		'Event Categories:' => 'Internships'
	);
 
	// If this text domain starts with "tribe-", and we have replacement text
	if(strpos($domain, 'tribe-') === 0 && array_key_exists($text, $custom_text) ) {
		$text = $custom_text[$text];
	}
 
	return $text;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_custom_theme_text', 20, 3);

and also

add_action( 'tribe_pre_get_view', 'change_custom_field_meta_label' );

function change_custom_field_meta_label() {
	tribe_set_meta_label( 'tribe_event_tag', 'NEW LABEL!', 'meta' );
	tribe_set_meta_label( 'tribe_event_category', 'Internship', 'meta' );
}

please tell me its an easy fix. thank you.

Hi Nicole,

Sorry for that, I used the wrong Function in that plugin and Now it’s already fixed.

Just delete the plugin and follow the instructions there again and you should be good to go.

Note: The links are not working because they are in the .pdf format, but thanks anyways.

My Best Regards,

[Nicole]

you rock 100%. have a great weekend!
