Hello,
I followed this thread https://eventespresso.com/topic/change-button-text/
Added a new plugin called buttontext and inside there I placed the functions.php file. I checked the permissions and they are RW—R like my other plugins but it is not working.

Hi,
May I ask did the plugin get activated on the WP > Plugins page? If it’s activated, can you post a copy of the code into a pastebin or GitHub Gist, then link to that code here?

It is not showing up in my plugins in the wordpress console
code i used is:
`<?php //Please do not include the opening PHP tag if you already have one.
//Another example that uses a custom field within the event.
//Set ee_purchase_tickets to true within your event to display ‘Purchase Tickets’
//If no value has been set default to the standard button text (Register Now).
function tw_ee_custom_filter_ticket_selector_submit_button_text( $btn_text, $event ) {
$purchase_tickets = $event->get_post_meta( ‘ee_purchase_tickets’, true );
if ( $purchase_tickets ) {
$btn_text = __( ‘Purchase Tickets’, ‘event_espresso’ );
}
return $btn_text;
}
add_filter( ‘FHEE__EE_Ticket_Selector__display_ticket_selector_submit__btn_text’, ‘tw_ee_custom_filter_ticket_selector_submit_button_text’, 10, 2 );

OK, so the reason you’re not seeing the plugin in WP > Plugins is because you did not follow this guide:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/
What you’ll need to do is follow that guide, then put your code into the plugin you’ve created. Then you activate the plugin.

Ok, I wrote that function so first let’s clarify how that specific function works.
This line:
$purchase_tickets = $event->get_post_meta( ‘ee_purchase_tickets’, true );
Is looking for a custom field on the event called ‘ee_purchase_tickets’ and will only change the text if that has been set, why? Because when I wrote that function it was requested to be applied only to specific events.
So that function as you have it now, only works if you have something like this in the event – http://take.ms/XihBF
If you are looking to change ‘Register Now’ to ‘Purchase Tickets’ on all events automatically you use the first function.php file in the Gist:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/6ca533539b2ed37ed88801825fdd2f2f#file-functions-php
Notice how the first file doesn’t have the line I mentioned? It just changes the text on all events.

Your plugin is also missing the plugin header, so WordPress will not recognize that it’s a plugin. That’s step 5 in the instructions for setting up a custom plugin.
What you’ll need to do is right after the opening PHP add this:
/*
Plugin Name: Site plugin for my site
Description: This is where I put my custom code
*/
Then, after you save the file, you can refresh the WP > Plugins page and you’ll see the plugin and be able to activate it.
