Edit 'renew subscription' page text and buttons

Hi @caitlyn Colette,

Thank you for your question.

I am wanting to alter the text in the ‘renew subscription’ box. How do I do this?!

You can just search the text in membership plugin file and change it but you will lose these changes when you will update the membership plugin and you have to redo the changes.

The more bullet proof way to do this is to translate the membership plugin. For more information on how to do this refer this page.

Note: The membership plugin language files are saved in the folder membership/membershipincludes/languages/

Also, how do I change the Subscribe button? I see that it is an image – so which file do I need to edit to replace the image with another (or code in a button via CSS)?

You can add the background image to the Subscribe button by adding following CSS code in your child theme or using any of the following plugin.

.form-membership .pricebox .button {
background: url("path to the image");
}

Sorry, I can’t link to the site – it is a members only page! Not sure how to include images in this query box either.

You can share the image URL here by uploading the image on image sharing website like https://imgur.com/

Best Regards,

Hi there,

Thanks very much for your response.

I tried adding the image with the code you provided, but found it didn’t work. Instead I tried the below code and the image appears, but behind the original button. The new button also tiles three times behind the old button.

#membership-wrapper input[type=”image”] {
background: url(‘/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Subscribe-button.png’) !important;
}

It seems the old button is coded into the html and therefore appearing over the new button. This is the html code:

<input type=”image” name=”submit” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribe_LG.gif&#8221; alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online”>

Can you please tell me how to get my new button appearing singularly?

Many thanks!

Also, when I try using the Poedit plugin you recommended, I get this error message:

The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed.

I’m guessing it would be fine to use any translation plugin? It seems you’ve recommended a translation plugin in order to access the individual text files..?

Thanks ??

Hi @caitlyn,

Hope you’re well today! ??

Poedit isn’t a plugin, but a program you can use to edit language files. The link provided earlier gives some great details on how to utilize that to translate plugin text.

You can also find more on that directly here:

As for the button image though, you should be able to change that from the plugin’s settings. In Membership > Payment Gateways, when you hover your mouse over any Active gateways, you’ll see a Settings option undernearth. You can click that Settings option to see a page where you can alter the button image.

Could you let us know how that works for you?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Subscribe button
Thanks for that. I was able to change the subscribe button image easily!

Membership box text
I tried translating the files with Poedit. I was able to use the program, edit the file and upload via FTP. However, nothing on my site changed!

I also opened up the relevant files in a text editor and changed the required text manually. I uploaded the amended file, but still no change!

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks ??

Hi @caitlyn,

Could you please tell us how you translated the plugin language files so that we can help you in it if you have missed any step?

Have you named the .mo file with proper country code?

Have you set proper WPLANG constant value in your wp-config.php file?

As mentioned in previous reply please follow the instructions properly provided on the below thread.

We haven’t heard from you in awhile, so I just wanted to check in to make sure all was good.

I’ve had some delays working on it, but will do so tonight/tomorrow and will let you know how I go. Thanks!
