Customization: Overriding/Customizing The Template Files

For overriding or customization, template files can be found in the wp-event-manager-google-recaptcha/templates/ directory.

To override a template file, follow the below mentioned steps:

  1. Create the directory “wp-event-manager-google-recaptcha” under your theme folder.
  2. Copy the template file to “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-google-recaptcha/” directory.
  3. Your theme will use all the template files from the “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-google-recaptcha/” directory instead of the plugin’s template file. (/wp-content/plugins/wp-event-manager-google-recaptcha/).
  4. event-google-recaptcha.php template file lists the user’s alerts.

Remember: if you have overridden template file and plugin frequently updating then you need to sync template file with new updates from the plugin’s template file for better functionality and new features.
