I am trying to change the text of the “Screen Name” field on the registration form on my site. I am not trying to change the actual field itself, just want to modify the text from “Screen Name” to “Your Real Name.” Also want to change the text for the explanation below the field.

In my registration_form.html file, I see the following code:

Where do I go to find {lang:screen_name} and {lang:screen_name_explanation} ?

Hi Malcolm,

I believe that these two language lines are in system/expressionengine/language/english/member_lang.php. Does that help?

Cheers

Greg

Greg, thanks for posting that. I did learn something new, but that isn’t where these language lines are for the registration form.

Greg, you were right about the system/expressionengine/language/english/member_lang.php file. The {lang:screen_name_explanation} was in this file.

However, editing the {lang:screen_name} in that file does not change it on the Member Registration page.

In order to do that, you have to change it in system/expressionengine/language/english/myaccount_lang.php

Thanks for your help.
