Hi,

How do I remove a prefix before a title?

Good evening and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

To achieve this you simply need to customize our plugin language files.

I highly recommend reading the 3 following articles on translation:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/incomplete-translations/

The string you will want to change looks like “%1$s for %2$s”.

As an alternative, some of our users prefer using a plugin such as Loco Translate for that purpose.

You could also tweak and apply the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/29903a974cb84060957881c17613c278

Best regards,

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, the method of translation by loco translate didn’t.

I’m trying change functions.php but i don’t know which file to choose.
Main theme file “functions.php” or file in /plugins/the-events-calendar/funtions.php?

Good afternoon,

Thank you for writing back.

The functions.php to modify is your theme’s (not our plugin’s).
2 words of cautions though:

1. Do NOT include the snippet’s opening <? PHP part in your functions file (there should already be one in place)
2. Please use FTP or File manager to modify your functions.php file. This way if something goes wrong, you can roll back.

Have a good weekend,

Geoff B.

Hi,

I’m adding code in functions.php and nothing happens.

add_filter('loop_shop_columns', 'loop_columns');

function tribe_custom_theme_text_with_context ( $translation, $text, $context, $domain ) {
 
	// Put your custom text here in a key => value pair
	// Example: 'Text you want to change' => 'This is what it will be changed to'
	// The text you want to change is the key, and it is case-sensitive
	// The text you want to change it to is the value
	// You can freely add or remove key => values, but make sure to separate them with a comma
	// This example changes the label "Venue" to "Location", and "Related Events" to "Similar Events"
	$custom_text = array(
		'for' => '-',
	);
	
	// 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_with_context', 'tribe_custom_theme_text_with_context', 21, 4);

Succeeded!
I edited file loop.php.

Thanks for help!
