The word "free" keeps showing up in addition to price

[sisu]

Hi,

I’m setting up an event for a client using Events calendar pro and Event Tickets plus.
This event is pay by the door, and we only have to use the calendar and RSVP for registration.

My problem is that the word “free” (or “gratis” in my language) keeps showing up, even after I’ve entered the price.
As you’ll see in the screenshots “Gratis” appears in front of the price I entered.

First of all, there should be a field to Enter price regardless of which way you choose; Ticket or RSVP.
After hours browsing forums here, I found that there is an extension called “display-the-event-cost-field-when-ticket-plugins-are-installed”. Why this is not included out of the box is a mystery to me. But even after installing it, the word “free” keeps haunting me.

I’ve been browsing the forums and discussions for hours and tried every solution given here, but with no success.
I don NOT want to edit the functions.php file by “Changing String of Text..” as the theme itself gets disturbed by moving the functions file to the Child Theme (I’m using Jupiter Theme (child).

Is there a simple way to do this by Custom CSS?

Site is in maintenance mode for the moment, and to be released as soon as this problem is solved.

Thanks so much for reaching out!

By default, the word “Free” appears when you select RSVP, because it assumes that the cost of the ticket will be free with an RSVP.

There is not a way to remove the word Free without removing the whole cost field in CSS.  There may be a way to do this using some Javascript, like this, but I’m not sure if this is a method that you are interested in.  Is there a reason why you don’t want to call it a ticket?  If you use a ticket, instead of an RSVP, you will not see the word FREE appear.

You can also try a plugin like Say What? in order to change the string, if that is an option that you are interested in.

Let me know what you think!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Thank you for your response, Jaime.
I would love to call it a ticket, but the reason why I’d rather not, is that I have to install and configure WooCommerce or similar products in order to get access to the ticket function. That means more work for me and a more complicated way to manage it for my client. This site is overdue already.
So the perfect way would be if we could call this RSVP a ticket reservation, and then you just pay by the door.
I’m more of a designer than a coder, so I could copy+paste some lines in Custom JS and that’s about as far as I can go with my computer hacking skills 🙂

Gotcha, I can understand that you’d rather not have to deal with WooCommerce.  Another solution is to hide the Cost field altogether with some CSS, and then add in the price as part of the ticket name.  This may be the simplest solution.  To hide those two cost fields, you can add this CSS to your WordPress Customizer or child theme stylesheet:

span.tribe-events-cost {
display: none;
}

dd.tribe-events-event-cost {
display: none;
}

Let me know how it goes!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
