Hi,
My client wants to change the text of category legend “Click to select a category” on the calendar to “Click to sort by site”.
What code shall I change or add to my child theme to change this text and also make it bigger by 2 to 3 points?
I can’t really show you the website it appears on as it’s a protected intranet.
All EE4 plugins are up to date.
Thank you,

Hi Aurelien,
You’d add the code to change this into your child theme. First, to change the text string, you add a translation function to your child theme’s functions.php file. A translation function can be used to change one or many strings. The string that you’re changing is Click to select a category:. Here’s a link to the documentation that shows and example of a translation function:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function
Then, you add some CSS to your child theme’s style.css file. The selectors you’re going to target are #espresso-category-legend p.
So for example, something like this will change the font-size:
#espresso-category-legend p{
font-size: 1.3em;
}

Hi Josh,
Thank you for you reply.
Here’s what I have for php but it doesn’t work:
———————————————–
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
‘Click to select a category’ => ‘Click to sort by site’,
// 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 );
———————————————–
The CSS works though.
What am I not doing properly with the php for it not to work?
Also, your code states it’s for EE3 only whereas I have EE4 installed, does that matter?
I’ve added this code to the functions.php of my child theme.
Thank you,

Hi there,
The EE3 only reference is in relation to the custom files add-on (as that is only available for EE3), not the code on that page.
When translating strings you need to match the original string exactly, you’ll notice in Josh’s reply he has:
Click to select a category:
In your code above you have:
Click to select a category
(Missing the colon from the end)
So you can’t something like this:
'Click to select a category:' => 'Click to sort by site:',
The above code should then work fine.
