 * After add something to cart and then choose a Pickup Location
    The “Schedule 
   a pickup appointment *” pops up.
 * I need to change this text to “Select Date” and having trouble with GETTEXT.
   
   The other two changes are working. The original text is coming from a plugin 
   called woocommerce-shipping-local-pickup-plus.
 * Any help is so appreciated! I am banging my head. thank you
 * I have tried woocommerce and woocommerce-shipping-local-pickup-plus for the theme_text_domain
   thinking this was the problem.

 * Maybe the star is causing the issue? Have you tried checking if the string starts
   with “Schedule a pickup appointment” instead? ie:
 *     ```
       $check_text = 'Schedule a pickup appointment';
   
       if(substr($translated_text, 0, strlen($check_text)) === $check_text) {
          // do your thing
       }
       ```
