At checkout, you have a section “Additional Information” and in there for order comments you have a label called: “Order Notes” and in there you have the placeholder it has the following text: “Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.”<\/p>\n

Now if you are selling tickets, that looks dumb. So in my case i want to make the following changes:<\/p>\n

I want “Additional Information” to say “Did you buy a ticket for a friend?”
\nI want “Order Notes” to say “Please enter your friends names that you purchased a ticket for”
\nI want “Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.” to say “Enter full name here..”<\/p>\n

I also want “Out of stock” to say “ALL TICKETS SOLD” for when all tickets are sold.<\/p>\n

The code:<\/p>\n

\r\n    add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text');\r\n    add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text');\r\n\r\n    function translate_text($translated) {\r\n    $translated = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'ALL TICKETS SOLD', $translated);\r\n    $translated = str_ireplace('Additional Information', 'Did you buy a ticket for a friend?', $translated);\r\n    return $translated;\r\n    }\r\n\/\/ Hook in\r\nadd_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );\r\n \r\n\/\/ Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!\r\nfunction custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {\r\n     $fields['order']['order_comments']['label'] = 'Personalized Message';\r\n     $fields['order']['order_comments']['placeholder'] = 'Add message here';\r\n     return $fields;\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
Add this to your functions.php – It can be added at the bottom above the last line. Ideally you’d want to add it to your child theme functions.php<\/p>\n
Example of where you can place it:<\/p>\n
\t\t$excerpt_length = fusion_get_theme_option( 'excerpt_length_blog' );\r\n\r\n\t\t$sermon_content .= Avada()->blog->get_content_stripped_and_excerpted( $excerpt_length, $description );\r\n\t}\r\n\r\n\treturn $sermon_content;\r\n}\r\n\r\n    add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text');\r\n    add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text');\r\n\r\n    function translate_text($translated) {\r\n    $translated = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'ALL TICKETS SOLD', $translated);\r\n    $translated = str_ireplace('Additional Information', 'Did you buy a ticket for a friend?', $translated);\r\n    return $translated;\r\n    }\r\n\/\/ Hook in\r\nadd_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );\r\n \r\n\/\/ Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!\r\nfunction custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {\r\n     $fields['order']['order_comments']['label'] = 'Personalized Message';\r\n     $fields['order']['order_comments']['placeholder'] = 'Add message here';\r\n     return $fields;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/\/ Omit closing PHP tag to avoid "Headers already sent" issues.<\/code><\/pre>\n
