Change the wording of the main login form: the field labels, the Remember Me checkbox, the button and the “Register” link. Use it to match your site’s tone, or to say “Email address” where users log in with their email.
Settings
- Username label: the label above the first field. WordPress says “Username or Email Address”.
- Password label: the label above the password field.
- “Remember Me” label: the text beside the checkbox.
- Log in button: the text on the button.
- “Register” link: the link to the registration screen, when registration is open.
Leave any field empty to keep WordPress’s own wording, which is translated into your site’s language automatically.
Change the wording
- Type the new text in the fields you want to change.
- Click Save changes, then use Preview → Login to check it.
Translations
Text you type here is shown exactly as typed, in every language. On a multilingual site, leave fields empty to keep WordPress’s translated wording.
