Changing the default labels and removing one of the dropdowns

Hey djaef,

There are two free plugins for adding statuses:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options/
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-products-per-page/

Removing may take a bit of custom code. I believe SkyVerge has a post coming out shortly about that.

I’m going to chat about it on my show tomorrow https://daniel.gd/office-hours/
and then let you know what we come up with!

Thanks Daniel,
Neither of those plugins allowed me to change the label products to something else. One gave me sorting options but I couldn’t find any way to rename Products to Businesses. I read somewhere else hat you could use a PO file, but surely a simple plugin has been made for this.

This is the plugin which will edit the relevant .po file and compile it:

Please post a url to a page showing the Filter by Price in the dropdown.

Thanks. I will have a look at that plugin.

A third of the way down on the left you can see the “Sort by Default order” list. I want to remove Sort by Price from this list.

Try this in your custom css:

.order-dropdown li ul li:nth-child(3) {display:none}

This page shows browser support for the nth-child selector.

Thank you Lorro, that worked to hide the selector. ??

I was thinking about a PO file. I don’t know anything about them, but wouldn’t it change all instances of that word to another word? I only want Products changed in the WooCommerce Selectors, not in the body text. Someone might use that word in a normal sense.

Some messages are grouped. The .po file tells you where a message is being used.

Bring up wp-config.php and look for the line:
define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_GB’);
This will give you your language identifier, in this case its “en_GB” if your site uses English. I don’t think this method works if the identifier is empty.

Go to wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/i18n/languages
and look for:
woocommerce-en_GB.po, not the admin one.

Rename it with a .txt extension so you can edit it.
Add or find a pair of lines at the end for each form label translation. The first is the English/American that appears now, the second line is the translation in your language. For example:
msgid “Company Name”
msgstr “Nombre de compa?ía”

Change the file back to .po and download it to your hard drive.
Compile your .po to .mo using this tool:
https://po2mo.net/

Ensure you get the underscores and hyphens right.
Upload the .mo to
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/i18n/languages
overwriting the file that was there. Keep a copy!

If you have a page caching plugin, delete cached pages.

You may have to update to the en_GB version of WordPress, sorry not sure about that bit. It will be in Dashboard / Updates if you do.
