Hi Shaun,

That is from a core file: /event-espresso/includes/functions/cart.php

Any edits to core files will be lost so try using a gettext filter instead in your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin:

function ee_empty_cart_message( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'It looks like you are attempting to refresh a page after completing your registration or your cart is empty.  Please go to the events page and try again.' => 'Change the messaging here',
        // 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', 'ee_empty_cart_message', 10, 3 );

Hi Shaun,

Reaktiv CSS Builder or My Custom CSS are for styling. This is actually a PHP code snippet.

You could add it to your child theme’s functions.php file or create a site specific plugin:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Let us know if you are able to get this working.

BTW: be sure to change the following sample text in the PHP code snippet.

Change the messaging here

No problem. There is a slight learning curve but its worth it so that your customizations are not lost on a software update.

Its also helpful because you’ll know exactly where your edits are should you need to make changes in the future.

Hi Shaun,

I also could not get it to work as a plugin, I think there is a load order issue occurring for some reason.

If you create a file called custom_functions.php in the wp-content/uploads/espresso directory, then copy and paste Lorenzos original code to that file, that should work fine.
