Change text of view links in header bar

[Tony]

How can I change the text of the view options in the header bar? For example, I want to change the options of “Month”, “List”, “Photo” to have different wording. It looks like the text is using a filter but I couldn’t find it in the docs.

Hi Tony,

That’s definitely possible, see this example (not very practical in itself, but it outlines the process):

add_filter( 'tribe-events-bar-views', 'alter_view_names', 100 );

function alter_view_names( array $views ) {
	foreach ( $views as &$view )
		$view['anchor'] = 'Custom name for ' . $view['anchor'];
	
	return $views;
}

Does that help?

Can I target a specific view? For example I want to change “Month” to say “Calendar” instead.

You can, in place of this line:

$view['anchor'] = 'Custom name for ' . $view['anchor'];

Use:

if ( 'Month' === $view['anchor'] ) $view['anchor'] = 'Calendar';

You may need to tweak slightly to meet your needs.

Good luck 🙂
