Hello Melanie,

Thank you for correcting the shortcode.

Please void “test test” as I needed to begin registration to reach the payment page.

I don’t think there is an easy method to add the note next to the PayPal button but I do see another location that should be available.

Please see this link:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#plugins

There are two options but I would try the quick localization plugin first.

In the old field enter:

Your registration is not complete until payment is received.

In the new field enter:

Your registration is not complete until payment is received. Note: A PayPal account is not needed to pay via PayPal. You can use an existing PayPal account or pay with a debit or credit card.

Let me know if this works for you.

Go ahead and deactivate the localization plugin.

Try adding this towards the middle of your theme’s functions.php file (wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/functions.php):

function paypal_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Your registration is not complete until payment is received.' => 'Your registration is not complete until payment is received. Note: A PayPal account is not needed to pay via PayPal. You can use an existing PayPal account or pay with a debit or credit card.',
        // 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', 'paypal_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

The quick localization plugin doesn’t work for that text?

Try this:

function paymentoption_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Would you like to choose a different payment option?' => 'Please change this statement to something else',
        // 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', 'paymentoption_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );
