Hi EE,

Would like to change some wording on the registration pages. Also, in the past some changes have been made on our registration pages that I would like to revert and I can’t find out how, I hope you can help.

Where do I change the wording in the ticket selector box? I would like to remove the added “(excl. VAT)” See screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yyx0iezx0vcbu1n/Screen%20Shot%202017-02-02%20at%2012.05.20.png?dl=0

Where do I change the wording in the Location area? I would like to remove the word “Location”. See screenshot:

Where do I make changes to the promotion code box? I would like to change color, wording etc. See screenshot:

I’m running site specific code through a plugin, but I can’t trace these tweaks. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Hi there,

Where do I change the wording in the ticket selector box? I would like to remove the added “(excl. VAT)” See screenshot:

I’m not sure how you are adding that text to the ticket selector table, can you post your site specic plugin to a gist or http://pastebin.com/ so we can view the code?

Where do I change the wording in the Location area? I would like to remove the word “Location”.

To remove it would need to edit the templates, the simplest method to remove it is to hide it using CSS:

.espresso-venue-dv .event-venues-h3 {
    display: none;
}

Where do I make changes to the promotion code box? I would like to change color, wording etc.

Changing the color and styling would be done with CSS, you can add styles to a child themes style.css file or use a plugin such as My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder to add custom styles such as these.

The wording can be done with a snippet, what exactly would you like to change? I’ll provide an example.

Hi – and thanks!

The css snippet worked perfectly.

This is my code, hope it’s what you need, I can’t find any reference to the “(excl. VAT)” bit…:
<script src=”https://gist.github.com/anonymous/57094a9d9a393a4aef74af2589edf86e.js”></script&gt;

As for the promotions box, I would like to change the wording “Please fill in your code below… etc.” and the color of the Apply button…

Thanks again.

Hello,

I had a look at the sample code that you shared and I did not see anything for the ticket selector messaging or the promotions field.

Are there any files for Event Espresso in your theme’s folder?

If not, then do you see any site specific plugins in your list of WordPress plugins in WP-admin (WordPress dashboard) –> Plugins?

Hi – and thanks again.

I have finally traced the origins of the ticket selector messages, it was custom theme css…

Now as for the Promotions Box text, I was able to trace this line of css:

div#ee-spco-payment_options-reg-step-form-payment-options-before-payment-options::before {
content: “TEXT HERE”;
}

When I change the text between the quotation marks, nothing happens. The display:none; command makes the text go away, but how would I be able to change the actual text?

Thank you

Hello,

You can remove that CSS example and go with this option instead in a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/):

https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/36ceb38b5ca6864de649

If you have an existing site specific plugin, then you could add it there and then update the messaging.

Hi – thanks again. Strangely it didn’t have an effect when I added that code to my site specific plugin… Any idea what could be happening?

Hi – the events live behind a password protected frontend. Can I can get the details to you in a private message?

Hi there,

Are you still having problems with this?

We received your login details and I can see you are using the CSS example to add the text to the page, its added through the Visual Composer custom CSS section so are you changing the text within there or adding another snippet to try and change the text?

The Promotion code text snippet Lorenzo provided should work on your site, however the label that snippet changes the text on is hidden be hind the input by default – http://take.ms/mnGtq

Which method do you prefer to use? The CSS method your currently using or the snippet from Lorenzo?

If you let me know how you’d like to proceed I can advise further on what you need to do.

Hi Tony,

Thanks a lot for looking into this and putting me on the right track, I wasn’t aware of the changes made through VC custom css, but this finally solved the problem! And I learned about the way the page is set up and how I can make future changes.

This can be marked as solved and thanks again.
