We require our users to be logged in to register for training in order to track certain things. On the checkout page the text that prompts users who are not logged in is not very noticeable. I want to style the text into a button and change the text entirely. I have seen your posts already on changing the text but the <p></p> has no id or class to manipulate with CSS. Do you have any suggestions on how to add an attribute to the paragraph to style it?

Hi,
With the way CSS works, you don’t need the <p></p> to have an ID or class to target it. You can use the parent element, which does have an ID.
e.g.
#ee-spco-wpuser_login-reg-step-form p {
color:red;
}
will change the text’s color to red.
With regards to changing the text, you can make use of a translation function. Here’s a link to the wiki that includes an example of a translation function:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function
What you can do is plug in the following string into the translation function’s array, followed by the text you want to change to. e.g.
'The event you have selected requires logging in before you can register. You can %sregister for an account here%s if you don\'t have a login.' => 'The class you have selected requires logging in before you can register. You can %sregister for an account here%s if you don\'t have a login.'

Hi Josh,
I gave the tranlsation a try and put the example custom function in my functions.php file and then changed the string into the text I want displayed and it seems to have no effect on the text in question? It is still displaying the original text on the login/register page. Below is the my code in its entirety; not sure what I’ve done wrong…
//add different text to login prompt screen.
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'The event you have selected requires logging in before you can register. You can %sregister for an account here%s if you don\'t have a login.' => '%No Account? REGISTER NOW%',
'Confirm and go to payment page' => 'Complete registration',
'No events available...' => 'No upcoming classes at this time...',
// 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 );

Also, thank you for the suggestion in using the parent element I feel dumb for not thinking of that. It worked great and if I could just change the text to meet my need It’ll be perfect.

Hi,
This:
'%No Account? REGISTER NOW%'
needs to be changed to:
'%sNo Account? REGISTER NOW%s'
If the above change doesn’t fix the issue, can you share a screenshot URL?

Thank you for the quick response. I made the change and unfortunately there is still no effect. I have attached a link to the page in question below. You might have to add a training to your cart and try to check out if this link doesn’t take you direct.

As you can see I have styled the link the way I want and I just need to replace the text.

I think you’ll need to clear your cache and start a new session in order to see the changes take effect. Here’s what I see:

One last easy question I figured I’d ask before messing with it. Can I add <br> or html in the string within the translation function? Like if I wanted to add “otherwise login and continue with your registration below?” to the translation but knock it down below the link?

You could, technically speaking, make that change. Please be aware that in the future the html could end up getting escaped which would not look very good.
The following CSS could accomplish something similar:
#ee-spco-wpuser_login-reg-step-form p:after {
content:'otherwise log in and continue with your registration below';
display:block;
}
and would be more future proof.
