Hi Julie,

You can’t easily reset the number, however you can change it not to show a number at all.

Would you prefer just ‘Attendee’ or another phrase?

Sure.

The easiest way to do that is by translating the string to remove the number. We have an example of a function you can use to do that here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function

The string to translate would be ‘Attendee %d’, the %d is a place holder for the number. So we can just translate the string to not use it, like this:

function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Attendee %d' => 'Attendee',
        // Add some more strings here
    );
 
    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace its translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

You can add that function to you child themes functions.php file or create a Site Specific Plugin and place it within that.

Does that help?

Can you copy all of the code from your plugin and paste it on either http://pastebin.com/ or create a gist here so I can view the code please?

I’ve wrapped my example up into a plugin you can install if that helps?

You can download it here – http://take.ms/b8o1A

When you have the .zip file go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugin.

Select the .zip you downloaded from the above, upload and activate.

I’ve ran this through some quick testing on a live test site and found no problems.
