How to change "Upcoming events" ?

[Bart]

How can I change the title on the main calendar? I don’t see any way to easily change the title. Currently it says “Upcoming events” and we would like to alter this.

Hi @Bart,

At this time you can only change this with some custom coding.

For example, if you wanted to use “Our Classes” instead of “Upcoming Events”, you would add code like the following to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_filter( 'tribe_events_title', 'tribe_change_upcoming_events_text' );

function tribe_change_upcoming_events_text( $title ) {
return 'Our Classes';
}


I hope this helps – cheers! 😀

Unfortunately this does not? Maybe it does not work because the site is non-English?

I’m sorry about that, @Bart. We might be referring to different instances of the phrase “Upcoming Events”, of which there are many instances throughout our plugin….

So to help ensure we’re referring to the same exact string, can you take a screenshot of the exact “Upcoming Events” phrase on your site that you’re referring to? You can then share image here by uploading the screenshot to Imgur.com, Flickr.com, CloudUp.com, or any similar image-hosting site; then just share the links to those images here and I’ll take a look.

Thank you!
George

Hi, I’m talking about the one on top of the main calendar: http://www.wtnschp.be/events/

Thanks @Bart! To be 100% clear, do you mean the text that I’m pointing out with a red arrow in this screenshot:

Thank you,
George

[Bart]

Yes, that’s the one. It’s in Dutch as WordPress is set to Dutch. (and at the moment, I have added your code to the functions.php file)

Thanks for confirming, @Bart! Sorry for the back-and-forth on this.

I’ve modified the original code snippet a bit and hope that this version helps!


add_filter( 'tribe_get_events_title', 'tribe_alter_upcoming_events_title' );

function tribe_alter_upcoming_events_title() {
return 'Something Else';
}


Cheers!
George
