Hi – this is perhaps a suggestion or feature request. I would like to be able to edit the VAT/Tax Number label to say ABN (stands for Australian Business Number).

Hi Jen,

It turns out you can edit this without changing any of the code in Event Espresso core. The invoice template’s strings are all wrapped in translation functions, so here’s something you can add in a custom snippet plugin

function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'VAT/Tax Number' => 'ABN',
        // 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 );

Can I add this to my theme functions.php file?

Sorry I just read your link re: custom snippet plugin. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

If your theme auto updates itself, then your customizations will be lost.

It would be best to add it through a custom plugin:
