    Hello,

    I’d like to make a few changes to a few items on the right sidebar of the listing details page:

    1. Change “Edit this Post” to “Update This Listing”
    2Change “Favorite” to “Add To Favorites”
    3. Change “Author:” to “Submitted by:”
    4. Change “Business Owner?” to “Claim This Listing”
    5. Change “Time” to “Hours of Operation”
    6. Change “Profile” to “Details”

    Additionally, I don’t like the share boxes in the right sidebar. I’d like to move them above/below the center content section or remove them completely.

    You can translate core and plugin editing their .po/.mo, here it is explained how

    http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/translate-core/

    To remove share boxes, add this in your style.css inside your child theme

    

    div.geodir-company_info.geodir-details-sidebar-sharethis {
display:none;
}
    

    and if you want to remove Facebook twitter and g+ button, add this
    

    

    div.geodir-company_info.geodir-details-sidebar-social-sharing {
display:none;
}

    Please see this, it should point you in the right direction : https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/sharethis-plugin/#post-7306
    

    Make sure not to follow what that user did though, editing core file is a big mistake. Please follow the example I provide.
    

    Thx

    Hello Again!
    

    Ok .. I read the language translation instructions however think you misunderstood me. I do not want to TRANSLATE the English language files. I want to CHANGE the wording completely — in English.

    Hello Paolo, 
    

    I tried to follow the threads for removing the sharethis plugin. However I got lost. You link to this thread “https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/sharethis-plugin/#post-7306” refers to this thread “https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/removing-the-share-buttons-from-listing-sidebar/” which then takes me to this thread “https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/disable-select-map-view/”.
    

    None of them explain in clear language which file to edit and what exactly to remove in order to completely remove the social share buttons and sharethis from the sidebar. Please advise.

    Hi,
    

    if you want to modify the code of a plugin, you are expected to at least know the basics. the scope of this forum isn’t to provide ready made code to blindly copy and paste for your website customizations.
    

    1) In this post I explain how to modify the add listing template, which is the basic method to do all this type of changes: 
    

    This part : 
    

    In your theme functions.php you can add this: 
    

    should clear where the code is to be added.
    

    2) In this post it is clearly explained how to remove 1 item from the sidebar, in this case the share buttons.
    

    3) In this post I explain how to remove the addthis part instead of the social sharing buttons.
    

    All the information needed to do what you need to do are there.
    

    Thank you

    Paolo — Well thank you for sharing EXACTLY what the scope of this forum IS NOT! Therefore, I am more certain today than at any other point in my entire experience with this plugin and its addons that a pre-paid annual membership of $150 was a total waste of my time and money. I’ll be cancelling my subscription TODAY!!!! Thank you for helping me see things so very clearly!!!!

    Hi,
    

    honestly I don’t understand your attitude. Especially because we are providing all the information requested.
    

    I think you should be reminded that what you paid for are the plugins and support. 
    

    Definitely not to customize and modify them following your wishes, by giving you the exact code nedeed every time.
    

    We point you in the right direction, but we don’t do it for you. This is clearly explained in our support policy that I’m sure you read before plugin the plugins.
    

    If you want someone to write code and customize the website as you have it in mind, you should hire a developer. 
    

    I think you are over reacting a bit here.
    

    Thank you

    No worries. I have cancelled my subscriptions and moving forward with another solution provider that doesn’t mind “my attitude”. If you’d simply answered the question with 
    

    “In your theme functions.php you can add this:” From the very begining, we would have never needed to have this exchange. 
    

    YOUR attitude has been duly noted. Thank you for your efforts.

    The process of translation is the same if you want to rephrase a string, mantaining the same language. You don’t need to rename the .po/.mo files, just editing the string will replace the default one.
