I am a new user and am wondering if it is possible to change the label on the event registration page from “Price” to Donation”. I can’t seem to figure it out. I am no power user so baby steps would help. |

Hi there, The easiest method to changing the ‘Price’ string on the checkout page is to translate ‘Price’ to ‘Donation’. To do that you will need to add a snippet of code to your site, do you have FTP access to the files on your server? We have a guide to translating specific strings here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/ There’s a custom function at the bottom of that page that allows you to set specific strings to translate, in your case you need:
You can then add that to a Custom Functions Plugin (click for another guide) that will change the text for you…. However, in checking the above and confirming the above change works I ended up creating a the same plugin you would need to have done. You can install that plugin to change ‘Price’ to ‘Donation’ on the ticket selector and checkout page. Download this – http://take.ms/hUxTs Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin. Select that file you just downloaded and upload the plugin. Now activate that plugin. ‘Price’ should change to ‘Donation’ on the ticket selector and checkout page. (Note that the strings must match exactly, so the above will note change ‘Price Paid’ to ‘Donation Paid’) |

Tony, thanks for the help. I followed your instructions to try to ad the plugin, but got the following message when trying to install it: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature Any idea what this means or how I could fix it? Again, I am not very versed and I don’t know where the files are stored. I simply log in through the site and make changes I can through the dashboard. I am not sure how to navigate to the code. |

That usually happens when the file being uploaded is not a .zip file. Are you opening the file and adding the PHP file or are you selecting the .zip file? You want to download the .zip from above and save that somewhere (desktop for example) Then select the .zip when uploading the file to your site. |

Tony, HUGE help. Thanks for guiding me through it! |

You’re most welcome. Did that plugin change all of the instances of ‘Price’ that you needed it to? |
