Change wording of theme_update_available() warning WordPress
- SOLVED
I want to change the theme_update_available() function so that the $update_onclick message is my custom wording. Here's the core function... http://wpseek.com/theme_update_available/
The message is confusing to my users
"Updating this theme will lose any customizations you have made"
especially since wp added the Customize feature.
Thanks

You might try to use the 'gettext' filter to change it:
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_gettext', 99, 3 );
function my_gettext( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) {
$old_msg = "Updating this theme will lose any customizations you have made. 'Cancel' to stop, 'OK' to update.";
$new_msg = "'Cancel' to stop, 'OK' to update.";
if ( is_admin() && $untranslated_text === $old_msg ) {
return $new_msg;
}
return $translated_text;
}
or perphaps translate your own language file.

That didn't work.

It works on my install,
did you try the updated version? I had a typo in the function name in the first version.
Dbranes comments:
ps: it might be better to move the <em>is_admin()</em> check outside the function, like this:
is_admin() && add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_gettext', 20, 3 );
so <em>is_admin()</em> will only be called once.

Yep, that's it. Didn't notice you had the typo. Thanks
