The Wild Apricot Text Manager (aka WATM) is free, open source tool that can be used by any Wild Apricot administrator to style, translate, hide or modify nearly every piece of system text in Wild Apricot.
WATM is the missing piece to customizing your Wild Apricot site to your exact colours, styles and text. You can make a variety of changes such as global text search and replace, modifying system or custom form labels and buttons, changing CSS properties on any class or ID and hiding certain labels or buttons altogether.
For example the system text labels in the Membership renewal system gadget below can be customized with WATM:
WATM is included with every Wild Apricot website that NewPath Consulting designs, as well. If you’d like help with implementing WATM, please check out our translation and custom design services on our website. Knowledge of CSS is very helpful but not required for using WATM.
