Text Settings
Path: SportsPress → Settings → Text
The Text tab lets you override any of the frontend label strings used throughout SportsPress without editing translation files. Enter a replacement in the input field next to a label; leave it blank to keep the default. Changes apply site-wide immediately after saving.
How it works: Every input has the original string as both its label and its placeholder. Type a replacement value and save. The original string is still used as a fallback if the field is blank. To revert a label, clear the field and save.
Example use case: Change "Team" to "Club" and "Teams" to "Clubs" to match your organization's terminology throughout league tables, event pages, and player profiles.
