    Change the text on the "Start A Discussion" button

    in Wish List

    I wish I can change the text on the "Start Discussion" button. So I can use the forum page as a photo-sharing post page. I would like to change the button text to "Create Post"...

    So It's awesome to announce that we launched the feature! You can go over your dashboard and edit the forum info, to change the naming or go into a specific category and have a different name for specific categories.

    @beabengio oh wow this is impressive! The amount of your effort inspired me to share the button rename feature we're working on. Here's a sneak peek of how you will be able to change the name of the button:

    SOON!

    I have found a soso solution but it works fine for me.

    First I have change the text colour of the wix button to be the same as the button so the wix text disappears.

    Then I have added a small text (5 char max with a 14px size) in white as my page background is white and placed it over the button. I know it is not great but it works. People will not be able to click on the text but to it's right or left, so this is why it has to be short, like OK, send...

    So that's the easy part as you are on the main forum page. What is more tricky is to find the button's position on the different post pages. To find it I wrote text in red to see in preview mode where it shows on the post pages. You will have to create different small texts, as according to the page, the button is at a different location . You can have a Start on the main page and ok's on the different post pages etc... (to find the position of the text on the post pages you have to be on the layout of a post page) .

    You end up with lots of small texts but as they have the same colour as the background nobody can see it unless they want to select a text on the page.... It worked on iMac, PC, iPad, but you need to do it again for the mobile version.

    I was hoping to create my own buttons over the existing one and generate the URL according to choices/ categories... but in dev mode we don't see anything ....


    Hope it helps a little while the wix team gives us the possibility to change the buttons value.

    I also would want to change the button text with "Add a Post" instead of a discussion.

    I would like to change "Create Discussion" to "Join the Discussion". The color and centered position of this button makes it a focal point of our home page. Our team agrees that "join" is an inclusive word, and better aligns with the brand. I would also like to know if this will be a upcoming change, or any alt options.


    Thank you,
