I’d like to change the word ‘Expired’ which appears on this page:
http://www.robinhoodgymnastics.co.uk/events/wednesday-adults-gymnastics-weeks-march-23rd-may-3rd/
I’ve tried using the following code added to the child theme functions.php file:
function ee_expired_messaging_changes( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
$strings = array(
‘This event has expired or is no longer available.’ => ‘Replace me with new messaging.’,
// Add some more strings here
);
if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
$translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
}
return $translated;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘ee_expired_messaging_changes’, 10, 3 );
I’ve also tried using the event-espresso-4-en.mo and editing the wp-config.php using define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en’); unfortunately this is still having no effect (I’m running WordPress Version 4.2.1.
Any ideas on how best to make this simple edit?
Thanks

Hi Richard, gettext filters work by looking for an exact match and then changing them. Your example was looking for this messaging:
This event has expired or is no longer available.
Try this instead:
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'Expired' => 'New Messaging 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', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Hi Lorenzo, many thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I’ve added this code to my child theme and unfortunately this hasn’t worked (i.e. ‘Expired’ hasn’t changed to ‘Expired NEW’, as a test):
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
‘Expired’ => ‘Expired NEW’,
);
// 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’, 10, 3 );
Do I need to add this code anywhere else? do you think adding it to the child theme is causing the problem?

Hi Lorenzo, tried everything I can think of this including trawling through all the php core files and can’t get this one word to change. There must be a simple solution to this? thanks

Hi Richard,
Change ‘Expired’ to ‘expired’ and that function will work.
However, just to note that will translate the ‘expired’ status that is used throughout the plugin. So anywhere that would display a status of expired will show this new translation not just on the front end. For example looking within the ticket editor – http://take.ms/ijGf4

Thanks Tony, that worked perfectly. I was just hoping I could replace just the single word ‘Expired’ in that specific place with a different phrase. It looks like that’s not possible, but this should do the job for the time being.

Its currently not possible to edit that status in a specific location without creating your own custom template and function to check the status.
I have created a ticket for our developers to discuss possible options for a future version of Event Espresso.

Thanks Tony, it would be useful to be able to change the wording. On this particular project anyway.
