Hi Kyle,

Is this what you’re looking to do? Instead of the event category archive having a base url of event-category, you want it to have course-category?

If so, you can add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file, save, then go to your WP Permalinks settings page to flush the rewrite rules.

function cpc_custom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'event-category' => 'course-category',
        // 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', 'cpc_custom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Hi Kyle,

You’ll want to check the WP Codex for this sort of thing. You can use term_description() and if this is a general archive template it’d be good to wrap the description in a is_tax() check.

Some example code follows:
