    Hello. I’m user of your great plugin. unfortunately, I can’t well use CSS. so
    Maybe it’s stupid question. but would you answer it ?

    I’m having trouble in changing the word ‘vendor’ to others.
    for example, I want to “become a vendor” to “become a photographer” on registration page.

    Would you help?

    Thanks.

    Sure, try customizing this code to work for you:

    Hey Ben,

    I would like to do something similar but don’t want to loose the changes when I update. I have read your article here and followed the directions with no luck. I am trying to change some simple text as well and nothing drastic. I have copied the overview.php file to wp-content>themes>child-theme>wc-vendors-pro>dashboard>reports>overview.php.

    Hi Kevin,

    The changes in the article above are for the themes functions.php file.

    Thanks for the response Ben.I thought the templates folder was built to offer customization without having to change the main files of the plugin directly. Is there any way to go about making changes to the overview.php file without having to the main files similar to what you’d do with a child theme?

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks so much for the functions.php code 🙂 Us Brits aren’t familiar with ‘Vendor’

    It’s worked a treat on my Registration, Seller info tab and Sold by in Cart – THANK YOU 🙂

    I just need to change Sold by on the Gallery pages and Product pages now. (by ‘Gallery pages’ I mean when you have lots of products listed before you click in for more detail.

    I’ll cut and paste the code I’ve used here just in case I’ve done something wrong!:

    /* WC Vendors – Change Apply to become a vendor? on registration pages */
    add_filter( ‘wcvendors_vendor_registration_checkbox’, ‘custom_wcvendors_vendor_registration_checkbox’ ,10, 1 );
    function custom_wcvendors_vendor_registration_checkbox( $message ) {
    $message = “Apply to become a Craftie?”;
    return $message;
    }

    /* WC Vendors – Change Seller Info to Expert Details */
    add_filter( ‘wcvendors_seller_info_label’, ‘custom_wcvendors_seller_info_label’ ,10, 1 );
    function custom_wcvendors_seller_info_label( $message ) {
    $message = “About Me”;
    return $message;
    }

    /* WC Vendors – Change Sold by to Offered by: in cart */
    add_filter( ‘wcvendors_cart_sold_by’, ‘custom_wcvendors_cart_sold_by’ ,10, 1 );
    function custom_wcvendors_cart_sold_by( $message ) {
    $message = “Made by”;
    return $message;
    }

    /* WC Vendors – Change Sold by to Offered by: in product meta */
    add_filter( ‘wcvendors_cart_sold_by_meta’, ‘custom_wcvendors_cart_sold_by_meta’ ,10, 1 );
    function custom_wcvendors_cart_sold_by_meta( $message ) {
    $message = “Made by”;
    return $message;
    }

    Many thanks,

    Karen

    Hey Karen,

    Looks like we didnt transfer two of those filters to Pro for the Sold by: changes. We’ll get em in the next release 1.0.2. Oops! And sorry. 🙂

    It was almost ready to go yesterday till we found a bunch of conflicts in them and had to scrap the new grid for a replacement. I sure as hell hope it’s before this weekend is here. 🙂

    Damn those conflicts!

    This weekend would be fab, fingers crossed for you both. Really hope you aren’t missing out on baby Ben time!

    Could I be cheeky – not essential for 1.0.2 obviously, but I’d also like to be able to change the wording of the ‘Vendor Ratings’ tab on the single product page, if possible.

    Ta very much,

    Karen

    Ben,
    Since so many of your customers asking for this flexibility wouldn’t be nice to have a built-in feature that allows to change “vendor” to anything they want?

    PS – I am almost ready to hit buy on WC=vendors but this is one of things that I absolutely need. you also suggested in a different post to use POedit to change vendor to something else…is that also another option? Which one will be retained after a major update?

    Hi @12ka4

    The filter code is pretty simple, just copy and paste. We’ll add more options for it in the future, as we’re slowly migrating to admin options for everything as our plugin continues to be adopted by over 1500 sites a month.

    Thanks Ben, you mean the code you posted above? will it be a permanent change and won’t be affected by updates?

    #19223

    Yup, via the code posted above. It goes in your themes functions.php file. Just copy and paste, and edit the text to call vendors whatever you want them to be called.

    When you update WC Vendors the changes are not lost, since it’s in your themes functions.php file. That’s how all filters work. 🙂 They are designed to be upgrade safe so you don’t have to hack at the plugins code for changes/tweaks.

    Hi,

    I used yous function.php code and it worked really well for the specific locations where it is applied.

    Unfortunately there is a lot of locations which are on the front page are left unchanged…

    Is it possible to remove it everywhere like machine work ?
