Thanks, Lorenzo. I want to change this:

“We are sorry but registration for this event is now closed. Please contact us if you would like to know if spaces are still available.”

I don’t have the wording worked out yet. I just need to know how to get to that text, so I can change it anytime I want.

Isn’t there a more direct route to making the changes I want? Something like wp-content->plugins->event-espresso->??? If I could just find the words, I could change the words to suit my needs. Too bad it’s all hidden so deep.

Here’s what I’ve placed in My Custom Functions:

function closed_registration_message_one($phrase) {
$phrase = str_replace(‘We are sorry but registration for this event is now closed.’, ‘We’re sorry, but this class is full.’, $phrase);
return $phrase;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘closed_registration_message_one’, ‘175’);

function closed_registration_message_two($phrase) {
$phrase = str_replace(‘Please contact us if you would like to know if spaces are still available.’, ‘Please contact us if you would like to be placed on a waiting list.’, $phrase);
return $phrase;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘closed_registration_message_two’, ‘200’);

At first, this worked in changing the first of the two sentences. Then, when I went back to try again, for some reason, there was another “fatal error,” and it reverted back to the original working on the webpage. If I am misinterpreting your instructions, please make the corrections and send them back to me.

And back to my other question, shouldn’t My Custom Functions be showing up in the WP menu (just like My Custom CSS does)?

That fixes the first line, but not the second:

We are sorry, but the class is full.

Please contact us if you would like to know if spaces are still available.

Hi, Dean. Thanks for your help. I tried making that replacement, but it didn’t change anything. So I tried again, thinking that maybe I should change “two” to “three,” but that didn’t help. Then I thought that the line number, 200, was for the second of the three you mentioned, but I have no idea what number that ought to be.

So, here’s what I want it to say:

We’re sorry, but this class is now full. Please contact us if you would like to be placed on a waiting list.

Can you make changes to the following code and send it back to me, with whatever changes need to be made, then I assume it should work flawlessly:

function closed_registration_message_one($phrase) {
$phrase = str_replace(‘We are sorry but registration for this event is now closed.’, ‘We are sorry, but this class is already full.’, $phrase);
return $phrase;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘closed_registration_message_one’, ‘175’);

function closed_registration_message_two($phrase) {
$phrase = str_replace(‘Please contact us if you would like to know if spaces are still available.’, ‘Please contact us if you would like to be placed on a waiting list.’, $phrase);
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘closed_registration_message_two’, ‘200’);

By the way, Dean, I think it’s curious that the previous people involved in this forum have not mentioned that you have a waiting list option in Event Espresso. I discovered it on my own yesterday on your website: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-a-waiting-list-for-your-event/
