Changing text in template files

  • Hi,

    I read the thread, “How can I edit “donation” to display as “contribution”? and would like to confirm something.

    So all edited template files go here:

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/

    So even if I edit

    templates/donation-form/form-donation.php file

    I place it the campaigns folder:

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/

    even though it is originally in templates/donation-form folder?

    Hope that makes sense. Just want to make sure I’m putting files in the correct folder, as I have yet to get the changes to display on front end.

    Thanks, Yael

    Hi Yael,

    Not quite, but you’re close! Whenever you want to override a template file, it’s in relation to the templates folder in Charitable. So this:

    templates/donation-form/form-donation.php

    Becomes this:

    charitable/donation-form/form-donation.php

    Many of the template files also have a little comment at the top of the file to say where they should be overridden.

    Hope that makes sense!

    Cheers,
    Eric

    Okay, I realize my real question is this:

    when I added edited template files to our theme folder, we do not need to include the templates folder.

    So I create a new folder in my child theme called charitable and then directly below that add relevant folders / files.

    So:

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/donate-button.php

    and

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/donation-form/form-donation.php

    Yes?

    Correct!

    Great, Eric, thanks for confirming I have the correct file structure.

    Could you also confirm relevant files, as I’ve edited a number of files and have only managed to change Donate in one place — the popup donation window.

    These are the files I edited:

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/donate-button.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/donate-link.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/donate-modal.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/summary-donors.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/donation-form/donation-amount-header.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/donation-form/form-donation.php
    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaign-loop/donation-link.php

    and here is a link to a test campaign:

    https://dekalbalphas.org/campaigns/christian-bernard/

    I think I’ve edited the correct files, however, I’m only seeing one chnage.

    I thought perhaps this was a cache issue but since I am seeing the one change in the popup window, perhaps I need to edit different / additional files?

    thanks Yael

    Hi Yael,

    Sorry, there is one little mistake in the first four template files. Instead of /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaigns/, it should be /wp-content/themes/mytheme/charitable/campaign/ — just change the folder name from campaigns to campaign.

    That should resolve the issue.

    Cheers,
    Eric

    Thanks, Eric, I had a feeling I was overlooking something really simple!
