Changing bbpress button text

[itstimetx]

Hello,

I am hoping to change a default bbpress button so from “To Parent Forum” to “Back to Forums”. No functional changes are needed, however, I’ve had a hard time finding up-to-date documentation on how to go about changing the bbpress-specific button text.

Note: we’ve running Pro and have a child theme properly installed.

Thanks a bunch for the time and support!

Hello @itstimetx,

By default those buttons are available for translations. We can use that process to customize button text. Try this:

add_filter ('gettext', 'custom_bbpress_button', 99, 3 );

function custom_bbpress_button( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

return $text == 'To Parent Forum' ? 'Back to Forums' : $translated_text;

}
