Hi there, I want to change text on “Add more attendees?..” button and it’s just not working out for me. I tried to use gettext filter and it didn’t work. I also searched through the forum and nothing. Please let me know how to achieve this. Thank you. |
Hi Kat, The string you need to translate is: ‘Add More Attendees? (click to toggle, limit %s)’ The %s is is a place-holder for the attendee limit. To translate the string you can use either of the two methods mentioned here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/ |

Hi Tony, Thank you for the quick reply. I tried that and it did not work. Is there anything else I could try? |
Hi Kat, Which method did you try? Try this sample coding: //* Change the add more attendees messaging in Event Espresso 3 function ee_change_add_more_attendees_click_to_toggle_messaging( $translated, $original, $domain ) { $strings = array( 'Add More Attendees? (click to toggle, limit %s)' => 'New messaging goes here', ); if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) { $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain ); $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] ); } return $translated; } add_filter( 'gettext', 'ee_change_add_more_attendees_click_to_toggle_messaging', 10, 3 ); It can be added to your child theme’s functions.php file (do not include the opening php tag) or a site specific plugin: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/ Be sure to change “New messaging goes here” to something else that you prefer. Thanks — |

Which method are you currently using? I’ve just added this string to Quick Localization and translated it to ‘Testing Another String’ which worked as expected – http://take.ms/okP4u |

Thank you Lorenzo. That worked. I tried that function before but I must’ve made an error somewhere so it didn’t translate for me. |
Thanks Kat. There may have been an extra space (e.g. before or after the phrase). The gettext filter needs an exact match including spacing to run correctly. If you need help with anything else, just create a new support post in our support forums: https://eventespresso.com/support/forums/ Thanks and have a great week! — |
