Trying to change word "tickets" to "Register for event" (or something else…)

[jujub]

Hi, I have the pro version and am trying to change the wording above where the visitor purchases tickets. The thing is that they do not issue physical tickets and it is confusing for the customers. Please let me know which file I need to edit to do this. I’ve looked around quite a bit 😉

Hi Julie,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

You can alter the wording of any string using the following tutorial and snippet as your guide:

Let me know how that goes!

 

Thanks,

Hi Julie,

I apologize for the confusion; You will need to use the full function at the bottom of the article I linked to in order to get that code to work.

Let me know if that helps!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Thank you! I had no idea that was a public reply. I had tried to add that code in and it didn’t seem to work. That’s why I sent my login info. I really don’t want ALL instances of the word “tickets” changed anyway, just the one that is at the bottom where you purchase tickets. If you can direct me to the correct file to edit, I’m sure I can find it. There are just too many files to look thru. Thanks 🙂

Hi Julie,

Here is the code that you should use to change the word ‘Tickets’ (just change the word ‘Test’):

function tribe_custom_theme_text ( $translation, $text, $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(
'Tickets' => 'Test',
);

// 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);

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,
Jaime
