Change "Recurring Event" text?

[wealthfollowsworth]

Hello. Is there a way to change the text of “Recurring Event” for an event with multiple dates.

I want to change that text to “This is a multi-day event”.

Is that possible?

Hi. Thanks for your detailed request.

This text is coming from Line 750 of /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/functions/template-tags/general.php

Recurring %s is the translatable string.

We have this information regarding translations:

• Translating the premium plugins
• Translating The Events Calendar (free/core plugin)
• How to Override Plugin Language Files (custom language files on your own site)
• Customizing/Changing any bit of text (actual code snippet is at the very bottom) — or using the Say what? plugin (third-party, not guaranteed or supported by us) might be easier to setup and use to do the same thing as our provided code snippet

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Thanks. So what exactly do I change on line 750?

I want it to say “Multi Day Event” instead of “Recurring Event”.

THanks.

You do NOT change Line 750… you should never modify our plugins’ core files because then you’d lose your customization every time you update our plugins.

You should follow along the last bullet point (either of the 2 options there).

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Which of those “last two bullet points” is easier for a beginner with no coding experience?

Thanks!

The Say What? plugin is probably easiest.

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
