Hi Susan,

Is it this text your are trying to change? – http://take.ms/ho4I6

If so that is the page title and is output via your sites theme, you’ll notice clicking the ‘Dance Registration’ linke takes you to /event-registration/

If you go to Dashboard -> Pages, you’ll find ‘Event Registration’ there.

Can you tell me what shortcode is currently in use within that page please?

Hi Susan,

Both of those can be changed by using a plugin like Quick Localization or using a gettext filter.

Examples of both are available here:

Hi,

Try this:

Old: Event Registration
New: Dance Registration
Domain: bostonassemblies.com

Or try this in your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/):

function mycustom_filter_gettext_dance( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Event Registration' => 'Dance Registration'
    );
 
    // 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_dance', 10, 3 );
