Hi Ronald,
You can change the message in plugins/espresso-social/espresso-social.php about line 295.
You may find this thread helpful as well: https://eventespresso.com/topic/change-twitter-message/
Thanks.

Thanks, Nikki. Creating a custom plugin with the provided code worked like a charm. However, I don’t see where to delete/change the default “via @EventEspresso” part of the text. Any further suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the espresso-social/espresso-social.php file on line 297 it reads
$button .= '" data-via="' . $espresso_twitter['espresso_twitter_username'];
commenting this out or removing it will remove the via @EventEspresso.
Please note that this is a core file so your changes will be over written when the plugin is updated.
To stop that you could add the function espresso_twitter_button() to a custom plugin or custom functions file and edit it there as this function is Pluggable http://codex.wordpress.org/Pluggable_Functions

Thank you Dean. That’s a great suggestion. I know how to create a custom plugin via:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/6737395
…but what code should I paste into the custom plugin so that I can edit that out? Would it be just those two lines that you provided, or would I need to copy over the entire .php file?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
You should copy over the function outline below
function espresso_twitter_button($event_id) {
global $espresso_twitter;
//Build the URl to the page
$registration_url = espresso_reg_url($event_id); //get_option('siteurl') . '/?ee='. $event_id;
// new button
if (is_ssl()) {
$button = '<a href="https://twitter.com/share"';
} else {
$button = '<a href="http://twitter.com/share"';
}
$button .= 'class="twitter-share-button" data-url="' . $registration_url;
$button .= '" data-count="' . $espresso_twitter['espresso_twitter_count_box'];
$button .= '" data-via="' . $espresso_twitter['espresso_twitter_username'];
$button .= '" data-lang="' . $espresso_twitter['espresso_twitter_lang'];
if (is_ssl()) {
$button .= '">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>';
} else {
$button .= '">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>';
}
// all done!
return $button;
}
That can then be edited accordingly.

Thank you, Dean. I created a .php plugin and inserted the above code as per:
http://ottopress.com/2011/creating-a-site-specific-snippets-plugin/
While the plugin file did show up in my plugin area, It did not activate when trying to activate it. Maybe I copied your function code wrong. What looks wrong below?
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Custom Via Twitter Message for Event Espresso
Plugin URI: http://github.com/
Description: This plugin will override the via @ Event Espresso
Version: 1.0
Author: Me
License: GPLv2
*/
function espresso_twitter_button($event_id) {
global $espresso_twitter;
//Build the URl to the page
$registration_url = espresso_reg_url($event_id); //get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/?ee=’. $event_id;
// new button
if (is_ssl()) {
$button = ‘https://twitter.com/share“';
} else {
$button = ‘http://twitter.com/share“';
}
$button .= ‘class=”twitter-share-button” data-url=”‘ . $registration_url;
$button .= ‘” data-count=”‘ . $espresso_twitter[‘espresso_twitter_count_box’];
$button .= ‘” data-via=”‘ . $espresso_twitter[‘espresso_twitter_username’];
$button .= ‘” data-lang=”‘ . $espresso_twitter[‘espresso_twitter_lang’];
if (is_ssl()) {
$button .= ‘”>Tweet<script type=”text/javascript” src=”</script>'″ rel=”nofollow”>https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js“></script>';
} else {
$button .= ‘”>Tweet<script type=”text/javascript” src=”</script>'″ rel=”nofollow”>http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js“></script>';
}
// all done!
return $button;
}

Hi Ronald,
One of my colleagues pointed out a much simpler way to do this:
In your Admin dashboard go to Event Espresso > Social Media > Twitter Settings and change the Twitter username…
I must apologise for leading you up the wrong path with this, when a simple option change would have resolved it.

No problem, Dean. I appreciate all of your help. Thank you to your colleague as well. That was much easier. I just deleted the username completely in the settings and now the tweet just shows my custom message and the class URL. Awesome! Case closed.
