How to change the default labels in the filter bar on the events page

[Denis]

Hi, I’ve followed the instructions from https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/

But still have no luck trying to modify the labels used in the filter bar search bar on the events page. For example I wish to change the label “Events In” to “Change Date”

Also, I can’t location where in the php files these labels are hard coded

Two questions:

1) What label should put in the $custom_text to modify the “Events In” text

or

2) Which php file has the label text “Event In”, as I can’t seem to locate it?

Hi Josh,

Thanks that worked a treat!! Is there a similar filter hook (like ‘tribe_bar_datepicker_caption’) for the “Search” Label.

Denis.

Hey Denis,

Glad that worked for you!

For this one you may need to do a bit further customization. Take a look at the “setup_keyword_search_in_bar()” function and how it filters the the $filters array using the “tribe-events-bar-filters“. You can create a new function and add it as a filter where you modify the “caption” for the search setup there.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
