How to edit text

[Beau Boeye]

Hi, I was wondering how I can change the text of the titles in the photo I linked. I’m hoping to change the “Events In” text to something else.

Hi Beau,

The easiest way to go about this would be the following:

1. Install the “Say What” plugin from the .org repo and activate it
2. Go to Tools > Text Changes and add a new one
3. Original string is “%1$s In” (don’t include the quotation marks)
4. Text domain is “the-events-calendar” (no quotes)
5. Text context is empty
6. Replacement string is what you would like
7. Save and watch the magic 🙂

Does this do the trick for you?

Cheers,
Andras

András, thank you for the response. Unfortunately, that didn’t do the trick.

When I insert a replacement string, do I need to add any special characters? I’m looking to change the text to “Choose A Month”.

[Andras]

Oh, I’m sorry, I made an error.

The original string is “%s In”.

It is case and character sensitive, so there cannot be any extra spaces and so.

András, you ‘da man! That did the trick. Thank you!

Stoked to hear it worked!

You can basically change almost any string like that. You can look up the strings in the .pot files which come with the plugins and can be found in the “lang” folder. Sometimes you need to add the context as well, should be easy to recognize.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please create a new ticket and we’ll be happy to help.

Cheers,
Andras
