    In the “POPULAR CATEGORIES” display, there is a link at the bottom that alternately says “More Categories” or “Less Categories”. Is there a way I can change this string (“Less Categories”) to a grammatically-correct “Fewer Categories” without having it overwritten by the next plug-in update, or should I wait for it to be fixed?

    Ideally, I’d like to override the Word Capitalization, too, in favour of Sentence capitalization. Same request, really.

    Clients don’t understand when grammatical errors like this are not trivial to fix.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    change can be easily made via translation file without fear of losing changes after updates.

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

    This is true for any text string of the plugins.

    To make the More Categories link uppercase, please add this to your custom css:

    
    
    
    .geodir-cat-list-more a {
        text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    Let us know how you went,

    Thanks

    Thanks; that was the first thing I tried, but there are zero instances of “less” in the “/wp-content/plugins/goedir_location_manager/goedir_location_languages/geodirlocation-en_US.po” file according to Poedit.

    Is that where I should be looking?

    Thanks for the CSS tip, but text-transform doesn’t support Sentence case, only UPPER, lower, and Capitalize (also known as Word Case, which is what I’m currently trying to avoid).

    Hi,

    you should be looking into the core plugin po file, not in the location manager.

    I believe you can fix both things via translation file.

    Thanks
