Remove the word "Upcoming" in Upcoming Events title

[steviger]

Hi,

How can we remove the word “Upcoming”? I know how to change the title completely (https://vimeo.com/76708200) but since we have two different cities displaying the events, that won’t doe the trick. We need just: Events in city Y and Events in city X.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Steven

Hi Steven,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

You can use the third-party plugin, Say What?, in order to modify the wording of the title.

Be sure to use the exact string that you’d like to change in order for it to work.

Let me know how that goes!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi Jaime,

I was hoping that a small code in my Child’s function.php would do the trick. I’d rather not use yet another plugin. I don’t need anything translated b.t.w. Just want to remove the word “Upcoming”. So I’m afraid this plugin won’t help me.

Regards,

Steven

I thought I’d give it a try anyway but I don’t get it to work. Please see screenshot for the strings I’ve used.

Hi Steven,

Instead of adding another plugin, you can try adding and modifying the snippet provided in the following article to change the wording of any string:

Let me know how that goes!

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it didn’t work. Since I’m not exactly a wizard with codes, I probably did something wrong. My code

function tribe_custom_theme_text ( $translation, $text, $domain ) {
 
	
	$custom_text = array(
		'Upcoming Events' => 'Events'
		
	);
 
	// If this text domain starts with "tribe-", "the-events-", or "event-" and we have replacement text
    	if( (strpos($domain, 'tribe-') === 0 || strpos($domain, 'the-events-') === 0 || strpos($domain, 'event-') === 0) && array_key_exists($translation, $custom_text) ) {
		$translation = $custom_text[$translation];
	}

    return $translation;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_custom_theme_text', 20, 3);

When I give you admin access, would you mind to have a look yourself? I’m realy lost see.

Thanks it advance!

Hi Steven,

Try changing this part:

'Upcoming %s' => 'Events'

Let me know if that helps!

 

Thanks,
