Change Delivery Boys to Delivery Team

[S Charlton]

Hi, I need to make this plugin gender neutral. Is there any way to change “boys” to “team”?

I have also tried updating WCFM Settings>Menu Manager and updated url from boys to team, but it only changes the side title and doesn’t update the URL or the main “Manage Delivery Boys” title – even after refreshing permalinks. Thank you.

Hi,

Please add this code to your site –

function wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text( $translated ) {
	$translated = str_ireplace( 'Boys', 'Team', $translated );
	return $translated;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text');
add_filter('ngettext', 'wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text');

Add this code to your child theme’s functions.php
In case you do not have child theme then add code using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Thank You

I have the same problem. The code you supplied only worked in one place. I can still see “boys” on the list of staff under “manage delivery ____” and “add delivery boys” section. (Please see my pics attached.) Please let me know how I can edit those other fields to say “drivers” instead of “boys”.

Thank you!

Hello,
The code snippet shared above find and replaces any occurrence of Boys with Team. In your screenshots it is mentioned as Boy not Boys, so those didn’t change. Please try the modified version of the snippet as below-

function wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text( $translated ) {
	$translated = str_ireplace( array('Boys', 'Boy'), 'Team', $translated );
	return $translated;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text');
add_filter('ngettext', 'wcfm_custom_2008_translate_text');

Thanks!

Any chance that this terminology will be updated in the core plugin. Using a generic term such as “delivery” , “Delivery Team”, Delivery service” etc would be better than the “boys” term. And I’m thinking would be better for any marketplace.

All the delivery girls are getting really mad about this.

Sushobhan I have implemented the above code and it works great to remove the word “boy” and “boys”. Thanks for providing that.

I still think you should consider removing the terms “boy” and “boys” with “service” or something like that for all marketplaces as the term “boys” is not very professional.

Agreed, maybe change to individual or person.

Hi Dana,
I will let my Dev team know about this. May be in future we will add a settings for this label. But, till then kindly use the snippet provided above.
Thanks!

Another vote for changing ‘boys’ — whatever term is used should be gender-neutral.

@CAM

The code snippet provided above worked great for me as an interim fix
