You could probably filter it by
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last giraffed by %3$s %4$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s, and was last giraffed by %2$s %3$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s.';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
in your functions file
Functions files and child themes – explained !
Thank you so much @robin-w, you’ve helped me several times. I appreciate it.
Well…I’ve run into a problem. I have this code that removed the word “ago” from the freshness layout:
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == '%s ago') {
$translated_text = '%s';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
The only place I want to include the word “ago” is on the top of the forum within the forum data block. Right now it reads: This forum contains x topics, and x replies, and was last updated by x 4 minutes.
When I use the code above and manually add the word ago at the end of the line, I get an error because it was already declared. Is there a way around this? Thank you.
yes, it is only already declared because I used the same function name.
Just combine the two and you get
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == '%s ago') {
$translated_text = '%s';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last giraffed by %3$s %4$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s, and was last giraffed by %2$s %3$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s.';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s.' ) {
$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s.';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
