Permanent PHP edit

    Hi! I am the author of the questions on the page below and have a follow-up question. Currently, I am editing the cost_utils.php file anytime an update is done that removes the code change I made. Is there a way I can make this change in the child theme instead and have it remain there permanently? If so, can you give me some direction on figuring out where it should go?

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    The core plugin files are not directly editable, that’s only applied to the template files as documented at https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/customizing-template-files-2/.

    The best way to customize default features is by using hooks and actions, and that’s documented at https://docs.theeventscalendar.com/

    There are a couple of ways to tackle this. You could:

    1. Simply remove or hide the price ranges altogether with a combination of template customization (single-event.php) and CSS, and then create another function for that.
    2. Add a snippet in the functions.php of your child theme to change the following functions
      1. tribe_get_cost
      2. maybe_replace_cost_with_free( $cost ) (from the cost-utils.php file)

    If you haven’t already done so, you might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how template customization works.

    3. Use the “Say what?” plugin to change the “free” string on the “tribe-common” language file to any other word you prefer.

    Hi Guga Alves ~

    thank you for that detailed reply?

    I would ideally like to edit the child theme editor file. I have limited experience doing this and wondered if you know if there is any support documentation about this? I tried searching on a few different terms, but didn’t find what I think I need.
