I have a BBPress login/register widget on my site. People can sign up to receive my blog.

I would like to change the text that appears on the sign-up page so that it is a bit more personal.
How can I do this?

I presume you are linking to a page that has the [bbp-login] widget in it ?

[Soukous]

Yes,
the link takes you to the front page of the website
the login widget is there
it is the text that displays when you have clicked on ‘Register’ that I wish to amend

[Robin W]

ok, you’ll need to amend wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.php

so
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-user-register.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-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Thank you,
I will try that
