Thank you, so thats the default event list and yes you can change the text for specific events, but you need a snippet to do it, for example:

https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/6ca533539b2ed37ed88801825fdd2f2f#file-functions3-php

You can add that third function to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Then on the event(s), you want to to display a different string on you create a custom field with the name ee_custom_view_details_text and the value set to the string you want to use in place of the default.

So it works something like this, default, no custom field:

After setting a custom field:

Does that work for you? With a little more custom code you could always change the text to a hardcoded string when the event is set to a specific category for example.

It uses a custom field in from within the event itself to know what to display for that text, so you need set the custom field on the event itself.

Go to Event Espresso -> Events -> {edit the event in question}

Find the ‘Custom Fields’ section within that event, it’s the section shown on the right of this screenshot:

https://monosnap.com/file/7FbqaiiPBZjNSNF8DW8OjbJw8cveob

In the name field set it to ee_custom_view_details_text

In the value, set the button text you want to use, so in this case ‘Register Now’.

Click ‘Add Custom Field’.

Update the event.

With the above snippet in place the event you edited should now show ‘Register now’ in pace of ‘View Details’.

Custom fields are a default feature within WordPress, the snippet I gave you uses them, but it doesn’t enable them as they are usually enabled by default.

When you edit the event look at the top right of the page, there should be a ‘Screen options’, click on that.

Can you see a Custom Fields checkbox listed there? If so, is it checked?
