Title: A simple customization question Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # A simple customization question * [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dropshipper/) * (@dropshipper) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/) * Hi, * I’m still using the free version of S2M while I get used to how it works. I’m very new to using WP so consider me a real dummy 🙂 * I have a couple of quick questions I hope will be easy to answer. * Where do I edit the text on the ‘Login / Registration’ forms? * I want to change the ‘Register For This Site’ text. * I also want to change the little block of colour that appears to the left of that text. I notice it also appears on other “successful” notices in WP but I can’t find the CSS that controls it. * Help much appreciated! * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5480948) * > Where do I edit the text on the ‘Login / Registration’ forms? * See General Options -> Login/Registration Design. Change to Yes, and save. * On CSS, see [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-pro-form-user-entry-box-heights?replies=8). * Thread Starter [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dropshipper/) * (@dropshipper) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5480966) * Thanks KTS915. * I’ve got the functionality enabled but I’m still not sure how to change the default text? Do you happen to know which language file is it in? * Also, rather than just override the css in my child theme I would prefer to know which css file actually styles that area to begin with. I just want to understand what I’m overriding. * Thanks 🙂 * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5480982) * I don’t really understand your point about which CSS file the stuff is in. That’s really the point of CSS: it doesn’t matter where the attributes are set; what matters is which stylesheet has priority. So, as a user and not a dev, I have no idea which file it’s in (and, frankly, I have little interest in knowing). * On your first question, there’s actually a brilliant plugin that renders that moot too. (You don’t want to fiddle with plugin files because they’ll get overridden by an update.) The plugin is called [Say What?](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/) * To use it, just copy the text you want to change. Then insert `s2member` as the text domain and `s2member-front` as the text context. Then type in what you want the text to say, and save. Voila! * Thread Starter [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dropshipper/) * (@dropshipper) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481077) * Good tip, thanks! * [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * (@extremecarver) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481181) * Adding up here – [@kts915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * Do you know the text content / text domain for the following strings (of the s2member stripe pro form checkout)? “Submit Form” and “Country” ?? * Using just s2membera s text domain doesn’t work. Adding s2member-front to the text content field also doesn’t help. Fields names don’t change. So I guess I haven’t found out the right ones yet. (I know I could change “Country” in line 138 of stripe-checkout-form, but that would be overwritten by s2member updates. Also “submit form” is not a string present in that file. * [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * (@extremecarver) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481182) * Ah okay – I had first an entry without text content – and that messed it up. Deleted that and I’m more or less fine. However – I cannot find any way to change the “Submit Form” button text. Is this may a picture and not a proper button at all? * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481183) * [@extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/), * This is how I have done it: * Original string: Submit Form * Text domain: s2member * Text context: s2member-front * Replacement string: whatever you like * [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * (@extremecarver) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481184) * Hmm – on which form? Maybe Stripe is different from Paypal Pro Form? * Here is my list – all are working except the “Submit Form” (and I tried to translate the password indicator – that’s showing very weak, weak, medium – but I guess that’s not a s2member form but wordpress in built): * ``` Billing Method s2member s2member-front Billing Method / Kreditkarte Checkout Now s2member s2member-front Checkout Now / Jetzt Bezahlen bei Klick auf "Submit Form" Country s2member s2member-front Country of Residence / Land First Name s2member s2member-front First Name / Vorname Last Name s2member s2member-front Last Name / Nachname Password (type this twice please) s2member s2member-front Password (type this twice please) / Passwort (zweimal eingeben) Postal / Zip Code s2member s2member-front Postcode / Postleitzahl State / Province s2member s2member-front City / Stadt Submit Form s2member s2member-front Pay Now - Jetzt Bezahlen Tax Location s2member s2member-front Place of Residence / Wohnort Username (lowercase letters and/or numbers) s2member s2member-front Username (lowercase letters and/or numbers / Kleinbuchstaben und/oder Ziffern) ``` * (as seen here – [https://www.velomap.org/de/support/membership/](https://www.velomap.org/de/support/membership/)) * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481185) * What I wrote is for a Stripe form. I haven’t tried it with PayPal. * [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * (@extremecarver) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481186) * Oh yeah – too bad this is not compatible with mqtranslate. Would love to do the translate text like [:en]english text[:de]german text but well – some hooks are not taken here. That’s of less concern to me than the illegal “submit form”. * Well mine is for Stripe too. WTF – how can it work for you but not me… Can you link an example? * [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * (@extremecarver) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481187) * Oh – I got it. I had “s2member-front ” as text content instead of “s2member-front” Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘A simple customization question’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/s2member/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=980067) * [s2Member – Excellent for All Kinds of Memberships, Content Restriction Paywalls & Member Access Subscriptions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/s2member/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/s2member/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/s2member/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/s2member/reviews/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [extremecarver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extremecarver/) * Last activity: [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-customization-question/#post-5481187) * Status: not resolved
