Hello,

I have an idea that may work. The page that you linked to has this html for the register now button:

<input id="ticket-selector-submit-2223-btn" class="ticket-selector-submit-btn" type="submit" value="Register Now">

I found this on Stack Exchange: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6201/how-to-use-str-replace-outside-the-loop

Since the ids for the buttons are unique per event, you should be able to selectively apply the str_replace and you’ll want to change the value.

Something like this:

function adjust_button_event_2223($content) {
        str_replace('<input id="ticket-selector-submit-2223-btn" class="ticket-selector-submit-btn" type="submit" value="Register Now">','<input id="ticket-selector-submit-2223-btn" class="ticket-selector-submit-btn" type="submit" value="Apply Now">',$content);
        return $content;
    }
add_filter('the_content','adjust_button_event_2223');

If the above works for one event, then you could duplicate a similar function for another event. You would need to update the number 2223 to the number that is shown in the html for the event that you are trying to target.

Hi Alex, this will work:

function event_button_override_2223($phrase)
{
    if (is_single('2223')) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
}
add_filter('the_content', 'event_button_override_2223', 200);

It does a check to see if you are viewing a certain event page and then runs the find and replace command.

Double-check the ID for your event and update it in the function above. It should go into your theme’s functions.php for or a custom plugin.

Hi,

I’ve amended Lorenzo’s code a little bit.

function event_button_override_2223($phrase)
{
	$post = get_the_id();

    if ($post == 2223 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    else {
    	return $phrase;
    }
}
add_filter('the_content', 'event_button_override_2223', 200);

This will work on single and archive (event list) pages. For more events, you would need to duplicate the if section:

    if ($post == 2223 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }

and add the new ID’s. E.g.

function event_button_override_2223($phrase)
{
	$post = get_the_id();
    if ($post == 2223 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    if ($post == 2224 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    if ($post == 2225 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    if ($post == 2226 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    else {
    	return $phrase;
    }
}

Hi Alex,

You could try adding another if ($post == $ID ) {

where $ID is the post ID of the page that has the shortcode on it.

Hello,

This can go into a custom WP plugin that you create (http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/02/02/creating-a-custom-functions-plugin-for-end-users)

Alternatively, you can add it to your theme’s functions.php file.

This will be in this location:
wp-content/themes/YourThemeFolder/functions.php

The post id for a page appears at the end of the URL when you are viewing the WordPress page in the admin.

In this example: example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=116&action=edit

…the post id for the page will be 116

Now that you have that you can move that information into the example function. The following would run the function ONLY on a page with an id of 116:

function event_button_override_page_116($phrase)
{
    $post = get_the_id();
    if ($post == 116 ) {
        $phrase = str_replace('Register Now', 'Apply Now', $phrase);
        return $phrase;
    }
    else {
        return $phrase;
    }
}
add_filter('the_content', 'event_button_override_page_116', 200);

Does that help?
