Some text strings on the community cannot be edited with our live-edit tool, e.g. when you can only see a text string when you are not logged-in. In these cases, you will have to add the phrase manually. For this you will need to know the codes so you can add it via the Control environment in Control → Customization → Phrases.
In this topic you can find the details to change the phrases on your login & registration pages.
Note: This only applies to the standard Customer Communities login / registration, not login via SSO!
How to change a text
- Navigate to Control → Customization → Phrases.
- Click Add phrase
- Add Module and Key in the details panel (see list of modules and keys below)
- Provide Translations in the Translations panel
- Click Save changes, your new phrase should be applied
