<em>Rename "Publish immediately" and "Published on:" in post edit metabox</em>

I'm looking for a way to rename the text "Publish immediately" and "Published on:" in the post edit Publish metabox.

I'm using [[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replaces-publish-immediately-but-not-published-on?replies=1"]]this plugin[[/LINK]] to rename "Publish immediately" but it won't rename "Published on:"

As Glenn already mentioned, you need to put the whole replacement text in your plugin settings box.

So instead of trying to replace just 'Published on:' put the following

Published on: %1$s

Also my suggestion would be to use https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/description/ plugin for your needs. Quick Localisation is pretty much outdated and is no longer supported. For the latest WordPress, it throws too many notices and can stop working at anytime.

I know it's taboo to edit core files but the line is 170 in wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php

I think you need to put the whole string in the plugin to change it.

$stamp = __('Published on: %1$s');
