How to change the text labels in user/pass box on login page

  • Hi

    Have a WP 4.5 site running Customizr 3.4.20 theme.

    I’ve had a search and read the docs but cant find this particular info and how to make it stick.

    On the login page I want to change the text label above the username box currently its default “Username or Email”.

    I’m also keen to remove the back link below the login boxes.

    How can I do this in a persistent way that will stick when I update WP and the theme.

    Thanks in advance!

    Any tips?

    This was possible using a gettext filter in WordPress 4.4 and previous. Not sure how to do it in new version though. Previous filter does not seem to get called.

    If you use the following code in your themes functions.php and replace the “Your Custom Text” with whatever you are wanting.

    add_filter(  'gettext',  'register_text'  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'register_text'  );
function register_text( $translated ) {
     $translated = str_ireplace(  'Username or Email Address',  'Your Custom Text',  $translated );
     return $translated;
}
