    My events generally have a speaker- I don’t care who organized it. I am putting the name of the speaker in as the organizer, and it displays OK but of course, says “Organizer” on the event display.

    Where is the best/cleanest place to change this string for the front end display. If I could change it on back end as well, that would be icing on the cake.

    I found the documentation on exactly how to do this:

    https://tri.be/change-venue-and-organizer-to-other-terms/
    Thanks for all the detailed documentation- maybe I can find my other answers there as well.

    That link is dead so can someone just post the answer please?

    I found a solution that works for me. Firstly I created two language files en_GB.po and en_GB.mo using poedit (https://www.poedit.net/).

    Instructions on how to use it can be found here (https://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/12/29/internationalizing-localizing-wordpress-theme/). I used the ‘New catalogue from POT file..’ option and loaded the tribe-events-calendar.pot from the \plugins\the-events-calendar\lang folder. Once I’d added translations for all the instances of ‘organizer’ to make it translate to ‘speaker, I saved the new translation file as en_GB. Poedit saves it as a po file and automatically creates the mo file. These should then be copied to the \plugins\the-events-calendar\lang folder. All you have to do then is to edit the line in wp-config.php that normally reads define('WPLANG', ''); to read define('WPLANG', 'en_GB'); and you’re done. It works a treat and you can also change the wording of anything else you don’t like, using this method.

    Works for me. Perhaps it was down temporarily? Sounds like you found a solution you’re happy with in any case ??
