Hello! I need to change the wording on the Register page that comes before the form. (“Registering for this site is easy…”)  Can you please tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

Have you setup the page using the shortcode?

hepdoll –

what i did was i made a new page and used the shortcode to show the register form like Lynq said. I could add whatever text above the form i wanted in the main content block.

This creates a new problem. When i use this form, it doesnt redirect me to where my forums are…I will make my own thread to see if i can an answer to that question.

Thanks for your feedback guys! I ended up hard-coding the changes in register.php, but I’d much prefer to do it the way you describe because it would allow my client to customize that text anytime they want.

Can you point me to guidance on how to use the shortcode (and override the already-existing register.php)? robbiegod, I’d love to hear if you figure out how to redirect people back to the forum.

Thanks!

Create a page and call it whatever you want.

Put the shortcode inside the page and you got an editable page.

All shortcodes are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
