    @chr15hoops … it has to be in there, in the files, but exactly where?

    I am interested in this too, as I wish to capitalize DETAILS – ORGANIZER – VENUE … and then change the lineup to … EVENT – ORGANIZER – VENUE … I am thinking that the post just previous to this one … this post here … http://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-word-venue?replies=4 … will give us a clue as to where that labelling is lurking/living.

    My next question is, great, so let’s say I do find where the labelling lives, and I assume I go in change it, save it, THEN, does this mean on every update of the plugin, I would lose the edits/changes I made to the file, and does that then mean that I have to keep notes on what edits I made and on what line the edits live? Is this theoretical understanding correct? Anyone?

    UPDATE:

    1. Ok, duh, I get it now, you always place these ‘edits’ or ‘changes’ into the .php file that gets placed in your ‘child theme’ preferably, as opposed to ‘no child theme’ … so that all your edits are contained in the .php file, …

    2. No, you do not lose your special tweaks and edits, because all special edits reside in the .php file, which the gets looked at, loaded, read, first, by the server, when the ‘call’ is made.

    3. So, for any noob, I consider myself one also, the pathway, which I think everyone assumes noobs understand, the pathway, or place that you put this .php file that contains all your special edits, gets placed in the ‘public html’ file, which hopefully you know how to navigate to that via a program called FileZilla, or others, … and the pathway looks something like this … /public_html/the-rv-life.com/wp-content/themes/customizr-child/functions.php … and viola that is where you place your edits!! Keep a copy of this functions.php file on your computer as a backup copy.

    4. One other detail, when you place your edits in the file, you can place a ‘benign’ line of text above your actual code, to label what the jumble of code is there to do, what the code is/was for, … and that label can look like this, …

    // Rename Details-Organizer-Venue to EVENT-ORGANIZER-VENUE.

    5. For instance, that is what I will put in the .php file when I confirm where the ‘Details’ label lives in The Events Calendar files. The tutorial video references the label and changes to/for ‘Organizer’ and ‘Venue’ but not ‘Details’. I will keep searching, hunting, learning.

    6. Thank you Tribe, I love this plugin, I love the attitude and tenor of your customer service flight attendants, here in the forum, the willingness to try to help, and how you all check in on us to see if what you have offered has been of service, and the attitude of ‘The Tribe’ overall, I am so pleased to have found you all. 🙂 Can’t wait to go ‘Pro’!

    NEXT QUESTION:

    1. Went over the post titled, RELABELING THE VENUE/ORGANIZER SECTIONS IN SINGLE EVENT VIEW, at https://tri.be/relabeling-the-venueorganizer-sections-in-single-event-view/.

    2. In my case, I am not really wanting to change the actual label, I just want to capitalize the words ‘Organizer’ and ‘Venue’, but maybe that is technically, a change, I dunno.

    I DO want to ‘change’ the word ‘Details’ to the word ‘Event’ and then capitalize the word ‘EVENT’.

    3. I also looked at the page/section, THEMER’S GUIDE: THE EVENTS CALENDAR/PRO 3.0, at http://tri.be/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/.

    4 I attempted to locate within TEC files, where the name/label etcetera is for, ‘Details’, ‘Organizer’, and ‘Venue’ and I need help locating those labels/names in the TEC files.

    5. Then next, I suspect the word ‘Details’ resides in a file different from ‘Organizer’ and ‘Venue’ because of how the functionality of the plugin is set up, so then I am thinking that what I am asking to do is, a two-file operation?

    6. Mostly what files do the labels/names reside in?

    7. How shall I go about making the changes?

    8. Well, I don’t know if it is the ‘right’ way to make the capitalization change, but using the code and file placement from the post titled, RELABELING THE VENUE/ORGANIZER SECTIONS IN SINGLE EVENT VIEW, has two birds handled, … YAY! … ‘Organizer’ and ‘Venue’ are displaying in CAPS, as I requested.

    9. Getting the word/name/label ‘Details’ to be changed to ‘EVENT’ and display in CAPS, is next.

    Thanks,
    B

    UPDATE:

    1. Well, after hunting like a hound dog, I found where ‘Details’ lives.

    2. It is here … the-events-calendar > views > modules > meta > details.php … on line 14, you will see (‘Details’, ‘tribe-events-calendar’ ) … that’s your animal, change the ‘Details’ to whatever you wish it to be, in my case, I like it to be ‘EVENTS’.

    3. Now, this is done in core files, so my edit will be lost upon upgrade and/or re-installation of the plugin.

    ***************
    4. So, Tribe Peeps, I need to know how to ‘code’ this tweak and then do please tell me what file, in my child theme to put la code into, I am thinking in the functions.php file, but I know not, for certain, please instruct me! 🙂
    ***************

    5. Alas, I have found that pesky piece of text, it drove me nuts all day, I am delighted, that I duditz myself! Yay!

    Thanks much,
    B

    What I have been able to do is change a ‘label’ in one place, what chr15hoops wants is, to change the labeling throughout, I will bear this in mind as I work with the TEC.

    Chr15hoops we may not get to the bottom of your question and mine until next Wednesday, just so you know to be patient.

    Hi folks,

    As outlined in our forum guidelines, we aren’t able to help with these kinds of customizations. But we do have some handy resources that might be helpful for you:

    ▪ Themer’s Guide – provides an overview of how to customize the plugin’s frontend appearance.
    ▪ Tutorials – useful tips and tricks for changing how the plugin looks and behaves.
    ▪ Technical Docs – provides an overview of the classes and functions in each plugin

    You might try searching our PRO Forum for other folks trying to do the same thing. A string-by-string translation plugin like ‘Say What?’ might also be helpful.

    Good luck, and thanks for using The Events Calendar!

    ~Leah
