Change “Tag” on frontend of website

Hi @tderouindesign,

I found a snippet for this here, if you just modify it to work for authors instead of brands.

add_filter('gettext', 'author_translate_tag_taxonomy');
add_filter('ngettext', 'author_translate_tag_taxonomy');
 
function author_translate_tag_taxonomy($translated) {
 
if ( is_product() ) {
// This will only trigger on the single product page
$translated = str_ireplace('tag', 'author', $translated);
}
 
return $translated;
}

I’d recommend you use a plugin like Functionality for Pluginception to store this custom code in. That way it’s update safe from anything overwriting it. ??

Thank you for the reply @ryanr14!

I ended up going with the following code in my functions.php file:

/* Customize Product Tags Labels */
add_filter( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_args_product_tag', 'custom_wc_taxonomy_args_product_tag' );
function custom_wc_taxonomy_args_product_tag( $args ) {
    $args['label'] = __( 'Authors', 'woocommerce' );
    $args['labels'] = array(
        'name'              => __( 'Authors', 'woocommerce' ),
        'singular_name'     => __( 'Authors', 'woocommerce' ),
        'menu_name'         => _x( 'Authors', 'Admin menu name', 'woocommerce' ),
        'search_items'      => __( 'Search Authors', 'woocommerce' ),
        'all_items'         => __( 'All Authors', 'woocommerce' ),
        'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent Author', 'woocommerce' ),
        'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Author:', 'woocommerce' ),
        'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit Author', 'woocommerce' ),
        'update_item'       => __( 'Update Author', 'woocommerce' ),
        'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add New Author', 'woocommerce' ),
        'new_item_name'     => __( 'New Author Name', 'woocommerce' )
    );
    return $args;
}

I did not want to install another plugin and felt like this approach was better for me. I do not recall where I obtained the code from. Probably WooCommerce support but I am not sure as a lot of searching went in to it! Either way, this can be marked as resolved.

Thanks again!
