Edit 'Add more attendees' text

Is there a way that I can edit the:
‘Click to add more attendees? (Click to toggle, limit 24)’

I guess that it can be edited in the template files but my concern is that when the plugin updates the edited text will be overwritten.

If there is a way of achieving this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan,

It depends on what you are wanting to do. If you just want to edit the text then you could go the language file route: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/

Other than that, then it’s actually a function edit main.php event_espresso_additional_attendees.

It is a pluggable function so you could copy the function ot a custom_functions.php file in the uploads/espresso folder or to a custom plugin and edit it there.

Hey thanks Dean – the custom_fuctions.php file sound interesting to me – I have created a custom_functions.php file with the edited event_espresso_additional_attendees function in it. Where exactly do i put it in the uploads espresso folder? I tried copying the structure of the plugin so I put it in uploads/espresso/includes/functions but no joy…

Any ideas?

I have also simply put it in the uploads/espresso folder not updating the text??

You can add the code to one of the following:
1 – Your theme’s functions.php file. It may get overwritten the next time you update your theme.
2 – The EE custom files add-on in the custom_functions.php file.(uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php)
3 – Use this blank plugin to hold the custom function.

Hey thanks for the reply.

This is driving me nuts – not sure what I am doing wrong.

I won’t have any issues with the theme being updated as it is my own theme but either way, I can not get the text to change even if I call the desired function in my themes functions.php or in a file called custom_functions.php in uploads/espresso.

Do I have to let event espresso know that the function is to be called from uploads/espresso instead of the normal location?
