Change placeholder text on Event Category filter
-
I have a request similar to this one. But instead of changing the placeholder text for “Choose an Event Type”, I want to change the placeholder text for “Choose an Event Category”.
I have created an override template file for event-filters.php, I just need to know what edits to make. Thank you.

Hi @erikrolfsen ,
You have to replace string with “Choose a Category” to “Choose an Event Category” in event_manager_dropdown_selection() function in event-filters.php file at your theme side.
You have to write like :
event_manager_dropdown_selection( ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? array( ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'value' => 'slug', ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'taxonomy' => 'event_listing_category', ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'hierarchical' => 1, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'show_option_all' => __('Choose an Event Category', 'wp-event-manager'), ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'name' => 'search_categories', ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'orderby' => 'name', ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'selected' => $selected_category, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'multiple' => false, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'hide_empty' => false ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? );Thank you.
I found that string in the “Search by event categories section” and replaced it with the text I want, but nothing has changed. I have tried it in my child theme, and also directly in the plugin files, but neither one seems to work.
Hi @erikrolfsen ,
I had follow the same steps as I mention below, and it is giving me the result which you want .
I had created event-filters.php in my “wp-content\themes\event-listing\wp-event-manager\”
Written the below code in event-filters.php file :

Thank you.
Well, let’s make sure I’m putting this on the correct path. You wrote:
I had created event-filters.php in my “wp-content\themes\event-listing\wp-event-manager\”
I have put mine in “wp-content\themes\generatepress-child\wp-event-manager\templates\event-filters.php” where generatepress-child is my child theme.
Do I have this correct? My path does not include a folder called “event-listing”.
Hello @erikrolfsen ,
You have to put your event-filters.php file in “wp-content\themes\generatepress-child\wp-event-manager\” here. So basically it would be “wp-content\themes\generatepress-child\wp-event-manager\event-filters.php”. I hope that now your issue must be fixed.
Thank you.
