Edit Events Notices

[Sarah]

I’d like to edit the notice on the Calendar view where there are no events in the initial month it says:

No matching events listed under Trips. Please try viewing the full calendar for a complete list of events.

This phrase doesn’t make sense and has no link in it.

Can you let me know how I can do this?
I have looked at your previous suggestion to someone to use: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/

I tried this code:
$custom_text = array(
‘No matching events listed under Trips. Please try viewing the full calendar for a complete list of events.’ => ‘NEW TEXT HERE’,
);

But it didn’t change anything.
Is there any other way to change the text that appears here?

Hi, Sarah.

That notice is coming from https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.3/src/Tribe/Template/Month.php#L377 (specific to Month View)

However, these also exist:

• https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.3/src/Tribe/Template/Day.php#L145
• https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.3/src/Tribe/Template_Factory.php#L299
• https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.3/src/Tribe/Template_Factory.php#L304

When doing custom text, like you referred to, you need to use/replace the entire original text (“No matching %1$s listed under %2$s. Please try viewing the full calendar for a complete list of events.”) — yes, using %1$s and not the word events.

You could go that route, but a plugin like Say What? (third-party, not guaranteed or supported by us) might be easier and more thorough a replacement than the code snippet we provided.

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!
