pathétique Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Hello, I am a beginner and after looking everywhere I do not find where to change the name of my page (linked in attached folder)  Thanks in advance 😄
Luuuk Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Hi, ACP > Settings > General Configuration > Site Name
Mediamage Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I've tried this many times but it is not changing the name of the forum. It just changes the meta description tag in source.
Marc Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Could you please clarify where you are not seeing it change?
Marc Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Ah, that is actually the word "Forums" that you have translated in your language pack. You need to change that language string __api_forums_forums Â
Mediamage Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) @Marc Stridgen I don't understand how do I do that? I want to change the wording to say: The Virtual Assistant Networking Association VANA Edited June 2 by Mediamage
Gary Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Hi @Mediamage, You can find the area to change the heading by going to your AdminCP -> Customisation -> Languages (under the heading Localisation) -> find the key `__app_forums`. It is on the third page in my AdminCP so may be the same for yours. Fill in the field on the right and it will change the heading for you. Let us know if this works. 🙂
Mediamage Posted June 2 Posted June 2 You mean add what I want the forum to be called in there like this? Because it still never changed the name: It still says "Virtual Assistant Networking Forums" as you can see here:

Because it still never changed the name: That wasn’t the right language string. You probably want to reverse that change by clearing the translation. There are many language strings similar to that. Therefore, my suggestion would be to use Quick Translation from the Language Tools. Activate it in one browser window but keep it open there. Open a new browser windows with your forum and you can click on the headline to change the language string. Then return to the first browser window to turn Quick Translation off again. Meddysong and David N. 2
Mediamage Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I removed this string. Then tried what you said but it did not allow me to click on the headline and change it. There must be a simpler way to change the name of my forum like why can I not simply change it in general settings?
Mediamage Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Okay now it says this and I can't remove it. Okay I got that shut off. Unfortunately that never helped.
Mediamage Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) @Marc Stridgen Okay now I found this in the languages so changed it to the correct wording but that never worked either? Is that the wrong one too? Edited June 2 by Mediamage
Gary Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) I'm not sure why that isn't working to be honest. Do you have multiple languages installed on your community? May be have a read through the following guides to ensure all the steps are being followed. Edited June 2 by Gary Matt 1
Mediamage Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) No just one language. Can someone fix this for me? I've followed all the steps suggested. I've been with IPB since 2003 (two decades) and really hoping this can be fixed. I used to just change that area in General Settings. I've never had to go into this Languages stuff before.

But now that it is off, you need to re-do the suggestions to change the title. The forum headline title was never edited in the General Settings. That’s the site title. That’s something different. Matt and Meddysong 2
Management Matt Posted June 3 Management Posted June 3 Let us know if that fixes your issues @Mediamage

Mediamage Posted June 5 Posted June 5 So watch video as it doesn't seem to work like that for me:Â https://video.vanetworking.com/conversations/657b4e9a-6947-58f9-afd6-9c66177281c0
Nathan Explosion Posted June 5 Posted June 5 (edited) Difficult to tell from the video but when you are over the text you want to change, are you actually clicking/holding the mouse while on the text? And I'm going to offer this up, seeing as all the other suggestions are on how this usually gets changed - is it possible you've edited a template and hard-coded the name? Just check, please...go to the ACP area indicated: Once in there, switch to the advanced theme functionality and use the search - type your phrase in there just to make sure you haven't actually typed it into a template: Edited June 5 by Nathan Explosion
Nathan Explosion Posted June 5 Posted June 5 (edited) Found a reason why some of the suggestions aren't working...all I did was enable the 'View word keys' setting to actually check the key of the item to be translated...

None of this works.
