    Hi there,

    I would like to know if its possible to change the following message “If you have shopped with us before, please enter your details in the boxes below. If you are a new customer, please proceed to the Billing & Delivery/Pickup section.” from the checkout login form, when user have not logged in and tries to access the checkout page, to another message that is composed by us. Screenshot as attached here for your kind reference.

    I have tried editing the message from the form-login.php under the woocommerce template sub-directory but still does not work, I was wondering if multi-step checkout plugin is the one handling this login form? If so how can i make these changes ?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Wen Jun.

    Hello Wen Jun,

    you can change the text by copying the plugin’s /wp-content/plugins/wp-multi-step-checkout/languages/wp-multi-step-checkout.pot file to /wp-content/language/plugins/wp-multi-step-checkout-en_US.po (or use your language’s locale instead of en_US, if necessary, see here a list of locales) and modifying the translation for the “If you have shopped with us before …” string in the wp-multi-step-checkout-en_US.po file.

    You’ll also need to compile the wp-multi-step-checkout-en_US.po file to wp-multi-step-checkout-en_US.mo. You can use the PoEdit editor to compile the .po file.

    Hi @diana_burduja ,

    Apologies, for the rather late reply. First off, Thank you very much for your kind assistance, that did the trick ! I am able to modify the text on my checkout login page. This worked for your plugin version 2.9.1, however, I have another instance running where the subdirectory wp-content/language folder is not present and the plugin version is 2.10. Does this translation method apply to plugin version 2.10 as well ?

    Also by any chance, does the translation cover error messages too on checkout login page ? For instance if there is a wrong username or password inserted, as seen here

    Thanks in advance once more !

    Regards,
    Wen Jun.

    The translate method should work for any of the plugin’s versions. If the “/wp-content/language/” folder doesn’t exist, you can create it with the same structure as on your other instance.

    The error messages are generated by the WooCommerce plugin. You’ll have to look in the WooCommerce plugin’s code to see if there is a filter. Or you can ask for support in the WooCommerce support forum.
