Change Sorting Labels

Resolved

(@johndoe01)

Greetings.

I’m a bit lost on a client’s request. My client wants that i should change the labels of the sorting options of the category view. I meant as in this image…

But for example instead of Newest First change the string for Most Recent, Oldest First for Oldest, and so on.

Since i have 3 instances based on adverts_list shortcode (To clarify i managed to do 2 more clones of the adverts list with some variations on visual layout). On those instances I can change the strings of the lines:


// options: title, post_date, adverts_price
    $sort_options = apply_filters( "adverts_list_sort_options", array(
        "date" => array(
            "label" => __("Publish Date", "wpadverts"),
            "items" => array(
                "date-desc" => __("Newest First", "wpadverts"),
                "date-asc" => __("Oldest First", "wpadverts")
            )
        ),
        "price" => array(
            "label" => __("Price", "wpadverts"),
            "items" => array(
                "price-asc" => __("Cheapest First", "wpadverts"),
                "price-desc" => __("Most Expensive First", "wpadverts")
            )
        ),
        "title" => array(
            "label" => __("Title", "wpadverts"),
            "items" => array(
                "title-asc" => __("From A to Z", "wpadverts"),
                "title-desc" => __("From Z to A", "wpadverts")
            )
        )
    ) );

But tried on them and the result appeared without changes. I’m not sure how can I change those labels without altering the Core files (which I tried without any obtainable result).

I’m not sure if through a mod in the functions can do the job but now i’m lost.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there are few ways to change the labels, the easiest would be to use a plugin like Say What? and customize the “Newest First” phrase.

Another option would be to use a adverts_list_sort_options filter to change the labels
```
add_filter( "adverts_list_sort_options", function( $labels ) {
  $labels["date"]["items"]["date-asc"] = "Most Recent";
  return $labels;
} );
```
From your question i am not use if you want to make this change on one of the [adverts_list] only, if so then inside the code snippet you can add something like
```
if( ! is_page( 100 ) ) {
  return;
}
```
where the 100 is actual ID of the page where the labels should be changed.

Thanks for reply.

Tried with Say What? and i had no results. Used the code and does as I need, even on the variations pages.
