Change the name "ticket" to "place"

[Cathy]

I am considering Events Calendar with Event Tickets Pro to sell places on face to face workshops. There will be several workshops a week, with 4 places available on each one. I’d like people to be able to book and pay online.

The only issue I have is that I don’t want to call the purchased item a “ticket” – I’d like people to “book a place on the course” rather than “book a ticket”.

Is it possible to change the name “ticket” to “place” easily?

Many thanks!

While I’m at it, if I could change the name “event” to “workshop” that would be amazing!

Hi, Cathy. I’ll answer your questions in opposite order:

2)

This extension should make it easy! 🙂

1)

Unfortunately, we don’t have such an extension for renaming “Tickets”, but we do 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.

Oh, and you could actually use the tribe_tickets_register_ticket_post_type_args filter to rename “Tickets” and “RSVP Tickets” titles if you want to go that route. There’s not a similar function for WooTickets, though.

Sorry for the third reply here… I also wanted to let you know that our tickets do not currently support Events Calendar PRO‘s recurring events feature.

If you start to create a ticket for a recurring event, there will be a little question mark notice that reads:

Currently, tickets will only show up on the frontend once per full event. For PRO users this means the same ticket will appear across all events in the series. Please configure your events accordingly.

You should add your vote to this existing feature request for Event Tickets to support PRO’s recurring events.

Something some users are doing right now is using PRO’s recurring events to populate their events calendar but then breaking each occurrence from the series to turn them into single events — basically using PRO as an event generator but not actually using its recurring events functionality on the front-end. Others are just dealing with the tickets on recurring events even though you can’t then tell <i>which</i> occurrence they reserved the ticket for… use this information for your own reference but please don’t take it as any sort of recommendation.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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!
