I noticed that EE4 4.9.12 removes waitlist from the default registration options. I was really happy that it appeared and I wonder why remove it.
I run an event were we don’t want to approved anyone until 2 conditions have been met.
1) Full payment is received and
2) All registration documents are received.
Using waitlist, I thought, might be a good solution.
If you removing this (I know it hasn’t always been there) can you tell me the best way to accomplish the above? Last year EE4 issued tickets to groups before they completed our process and it created some challenges.

Hi there,
The Waitlist status is not intended to be used as a default registration option. It should have never been in those options in the first place, as there was an oversight. Registrations are automatically moved to a Waitlist status if the event sells out before the registration is approved. That’s the intent of the wait list status.
You can use the Not Approved default registration status to accomplish what you’re looking to do.

Is there a possibility of a custom status, e.g. “Processing” or “Pending Completion”?

That may be possible with custom development. I’m not sure why a custom status would be necessary to achieve what you’re looking to do.
To clarify what I mean, you can set the Default Registration Status to be Not Approved, then after all registration documents are received, you set the registration status to Pending Payment. Then when payment is received, the status will be switched to Approved.

Thanks, Josh. Only one reason, ‘Not Approved’ connotes a final status and can create unnecessary concern as we also have conditions under which a registration is not approved as well.

Perhaps ‘Pending Payment’ can be ‘translated to ‘Pending’?

Yes it can, you can use the function shown here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function
Use: 'Pending Payment' => 'Pending', within the $strings array and it should change all instances of Pending Payment to Pending.
However it will not alter the message templates as those are already stroed within the database, you will need to do that manually.

Ok, I’ve tried this via a custom plug-in and activated the plug-in.
Nothing.
Here is my code. Maybe I have to do something particular?
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'Register' => 'Sign up',
'Confirm and go to payment page' => 'Complete registration',
'No events available...' => 'No upcoming Events at this time...',
'click here to add a new state/province' => 'click here to enter address outside US/Canada',
'Pending Payment' => 'Pending Completion',
// 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', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

May I ask where exactly the text appears that you’re looking to translate? For example, is it in the admin, the front-end of the site, or in one of the messages?

Hey Josh,
I am looking to change the text in all three areas.
Thanks

Apologies, you will also need to add:
'pending payment' => 'pending completion',
to your strings. (the lower case is intentional)
That should change the majority of the strings however if there are specific areas which don’t change you will need to let us know the specific area you need to target so we can help.

Thank you, Tony. That seems to have done the job. You can mark this as resolved.
