How can I remove the border around the registration forms where it says attendee 1, attendee 2, etc.?

Example image:

…Or. Can I change the wording in the registration checkout from attendee 1, attendee 2, etc. to Registration 1, Registration 2 etc. That may work better for our needs.

Thanks, Laura

Hi Laura,

To remove the border you can use this CSS:

#spco-attendee_information-dv .ee-reg-form-attendee-dv {
    border: none;
}

To change Attendee X to Registration X you’ll need to ‘translate’ the string used, we have some documenation on how to translate strings in EE here:

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

The string you need to translate is ‘Attendee %d’, the %d is a placeholder for the number, so you translate that to ‘Registration %d’.

I’ve changed the string in poedit, but I’m getting this error when I do it.

I don’t want to upload something that will mess anything up.

Also, once it’s working right, will these changes stay in place with updates?

Thanks!!

Also, further down in the instructions it says:

7) Edit your wp-config.php file. Where it says

define(‘WPLANG’, ”);
change it to

define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’);
Obviously if your main language is not American English it is likely that this has already been changed to the correct language but you may need to check, especially if your changes are not occurring.

I’ve never changed my functions.php file before. I am using the child theme for Conference Pro and I do have the file available. Currently is says: <?php

I can locate the theme’s functions.php file and probably locate the text that needs to be brought into the child file for changes, but I’m not sure of the syntax. Can you help me? Or is this even the correct file?

Thanks again!

Hi there,

I would recommend making a copy of the existing language file, then uploading the new file in it’s place. That way, if something goes wrong with the new file, you can just replace it with the old file.

Regarding your last question about editing the “functions.php” file. That’s the wrong file. You will need to edit the “wp-config.php” file, which is located in the WordPress root directory (where WordPress is installed on your server), which is probably the “/public_html/” folder on the server. The root directory should have a list of files similar to this:

  • index.php
  • license.txt
  • readme.html
  • wp-activate.php
  • wp-blog-header.php
  • wp-comments-post.php
  • wp-config-sample.php
  • wp-config.php <--- THIS FILE
  • wp-cron.php

You will want to edit the “wp-config.php” file.

Will it stay edited when the site updates?

To answer your question, if you edit wp-config.php and then update WordPress then yes that customization remains, however you don’t need to make the above modification as WP allows you to set the site language now.

If you are comfortable editing your theme’s functions.php file then you can use a function like this:

https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/4c819243acfee1ce36b1

Note that does go in your functions.php file, not in wp-config.php.

Remove this line: 'Attendee Information' => 'Participant Information',

Change this line: 'Attendee %d' => 'Participant %d',

To this: 'Attendee %d' => 'Registrant %d',

That’ll make the change for you.

That worked great. I would also like to change:

Use Attendee #1’s information for ALL attendees

This option allows you to use the above information for all additional attendee question fields. Please note: some events may have additional questions that you may still be required to answer in order to complete your registration.

to:

Use Registrant #1’s Sponsor information for ALL Registrants

This option allows you to use the above information for all Sponsor question fields. Please note: some events may have additional questions that you may still be required to answer in order to complete your registration.

Thanks!

Laura

Then you need to add this:

'Use Attendee #1\'s information for ALL attendees' => 'Use Registrants #1\'s information for ALL attendees',

Below this line:

'Attendee %d' => 'Registrant %d',

So your strings array looks something like:

$strings = array(
    'Attendee %d' => 'Registrant %d',
    'Use Attendee #1\'s information for ALL attendees' => 'Use Registrants #1\'s information for ALL attendees',
    // Add some more strings here
);
