Change button text

Hello @fjr9

You can change the text of any existing text in the plugin using the Loco Translate plugin.

Just search up the button text in the Filter Translations field and enter the phrase you’d prefer it to say as a ‘translation’.

I double-checked to make sure that the following phrases were changeable:

• Edit Appointment
• Reschedule
• Cancel Appointment
• Schedule a New Appointment

Here’s one of our guides to walk you through the steps: https://simplyscheduleappointments.com/guides/edit-phrases-labels-calendar/

Hey, thanks. I’d rather not use Loco Translate. Is it impossible for you to provide me a way to do it on my own, such as one of my suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Hi @fjr9, I know adding another plugin to your site isn’t always ideal. If you’re comfortable with adding PHP code to your functions.php file (or a custom plugin), this code should help you achieve the same thing as LocoTranslate without adding the performance overhead of another plugin:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'customize_ssa_button_text', 100, 3 );
function customize_ssa_button_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $domain !== 'simply-schedule-appointments' ) {
		return $translated_text;
	}

	if ( $text === 'Cancel Appointment' ) {
		return 'Oops! Cancel My Appointment';
	}

	return $translated_text;
}

Note: if you just want to hide any of those buttons entirely, you can do so with CSS and we have some good examples of that here:

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
