Removing "kick a**"? Please.

Howdy rgnicholas,

I completely get where you are coming from. I just wrote a quick snippet that swaps that phrase out for you. Check it out here: https://gist.github.com/elimn/c0cab71da29472edb521

Paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet.

I hope that helps! Thanks for reaching out.

Cheers!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help with this. One last question though… will this addition to the functions file stay if you guys update the events calendar plugin? By the way, I am using a child theme to preserve this function against it getting knocked out by a theme update. Thanks again!!!

Good question. If it is your child theme’s functions file then it should remain for as long as your child theme does. When our plugin updates it won’t remove the snippet or anything. There is of course the risk that a plugin update could make the snippet stop working, but I predict that is going to be am extremely low risk with this particular snippet.

Thanks again for your help!

You are very welcome! Good luck with your project.

Thanks a ton for this feedback, rgnicholas. I know Brook has given you what you need to succeed here, but I wanted to let you know that you aren’t the first person to raise this feedback — and that personally I 100% agree. I’ve already made a change so that the reference here on www.ads-software.com (you’ll see we say “kick ass” on the product page) gets changed when we push our next deployment. And more importantly, I’ve logged a ticket in our internal ticketing system to address this in the plugin itself — on the Help page, as you noted — in a subsequent release.

I would wager that by the time 4.0 ships, you’ll see this change “officially” worked into the codebase. Thanks a ton for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience/hassle/awkwardness that having such language might have caused you thus far.

Sincerely,

Hi Rob, sorry, this has nothing to do with this thread, but I am really battling with getting the wootickets plugin to work properly on my theme. All the forum threads give me no solutions. Please can I have someone to quickly login to my wordpress backend to tell me what’s the issue:) Licence keys, updates, plugins are all in order. cleared cache, theme is compatible with events calendar, woocommerce and wootickets, etc but even after clicking on “purchase ticket” for the event, no checkout appears or anything displaying the actual cart and checkout..

I’ve been struggling with this and no real support for about a month back and forth and have really tried everything I am aware of…I just need someone clued up to login and take a look and please give me a solution and direct me on how to fix the issue. many thanks, Dean

Hi Dean,

Please be mindful of the forum guidelines here on www.ads-software.com ??

It’s almost always best to create a new topic of your own (even if it is related to the original poster’s problem) and for something like this – an issue with a premium plugin – it is best to actually post on the premium forum:

theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/forum/events/wootickets

We’re simply not allowed to support commercial plugins here in the forum of a free plugin distributed via www.ads-software.com/plugins.
