How to change heading text in event-bar

[David]

I would love to change and customize the text inside the label class “label-tribe-bar-date” and “label-tribe-bar-search”. I have searched all the customization and nearly have of the functions and views files, but I was not able to find the appropriate section.
Could you help me out?
Thanks in advance,

David

Hi David,

If it’s the placeholder text you wish to change then there are a few ways to do that, one of which would be adding a short snippet like this one to your theme’s functions.php file or some other suitable place:

function event_bar_modify_placeholder_text( array $filters ) {
	foreach ( $filters as &$single_filter ) {
		$single_filter['html'] = str_replace(
			'placeholder="Date"',
			'placeholder="Something else"',
			$single_filter['html'] );
	}

	return $filters;
}

add_filter( 'tribe-events-bar-filters', 'event_bar_modify_placeholder_text', 100 );

You could of course extend this to change other things, besides the “Date” placeholder text.

If you prefer a solution that doesn’t require custom code then you might consider using a plugin such as Say What, however that would typically have a side effect of changing the word everywhere rather than this specific location.

I hope that helps!

Hi Barry,
Thank you for that tip! That did the trick and replaced the placeholder text. What should I do to change the text of the label content:
<label class=”label-tribe-bar-date” for=”tribe-bar-date”>T E X T T O C H A N G E</label>

Cheers,
David

Hi David,

You could use a similar approach – but instead of looking at and modifying $single_filter[‘html’] you would be interested instead in $single_filter[‘caption’] 🙂

Does that help?
