Changing Text Of Find Events Button

Hey there,

Sorry you are having trouble with this! We actually have a handy Extension for Identifying templates here: https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/calendar-template-inspector/

I used this on one of my test sites to find that the file you want to edit is called: the-events-calendar/src/views/v2/components/events-bar/search/submit.php

Screenshot here: https://prnt.sc/lmytOBXily2e

As for the bulleted text you asked about, in what Listing Page are you referring to? Jus the event description or something else? Please let me know!

Hi Truman,

Thanks for getting back to me. Aha, I’d looked at that but was confused with it saying %s so thought it must not be that.

1.
So I’ve set up the file in my child theme:
public_html/wp-content/themes/themify-ultra-child/tribe/events/v2/components/events-bar/search/submit.php
and amended the text and I think that works now, so many thanks (https://newwriters.org.uk/writing-competitions-list/).

2.
The bulleted text, I just wanted to display the details of the competitions (deadline, prize etc) in bullet points when displaying the listings on https://newwriters.org.uk/writing-competitions-list/ (rather than the paragraph-style text that it is at the moment) if that makes sense? (so ideally similar formatting to the individual event (comp) post: https://newwriters.org.uk/competition/creative-writing-ink/

All the best,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thank you for clarifying on the bulleted list portion, and I am glad that template worked out for you!

That portion of the event is the excerpt, and that actually strips the HTML. You can read about changing that here with this guide: https://theeventscalendar.com/blog/tips/the-trouble-with-excerpts/

I think that should help you accomplish what you want!
