Reply To: Change default text when not logged in

that text is in

\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php

and you’ll probably also want

\templates\default\bbpress\form-reply.php

for replies

you’ll probably want to put revised versions in your child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.

so if you wanted to amend form-topic.php you would do the following

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
