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 😄

Could contain: Word, Text, Number, Symbol, Alphabet

You mean add what I want the forum to be called in there like this? Because it still never changed the name:

Could contain: File, Page, Text, Webpage

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. 

Could contain: Nature, Night, Outdoors, Astronomy, Moon, Light

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. 

No it never fixed my issue. Not sure what to do.

 

It looks like you're using a custom theme, in addition, if you have any third party applications/plugins, I would disable those when attempting this. If you have any browser add-ons/extensions, you may wish to disable those as well. Then you can try the easy translate feature again. Hopefully that will remove any errors.

Unfortunately, those translation strings there are not related to the Site Name setting in ACP -> System -> General Configuration but rather just a name for the Forums Application. As you are wishing to change wherever we mention the application name "Forums" to your community's name, you will need to do this via translation strings.

I honestly don't know what these translation strings even do. Can you explain what each one does? What happens if I leave those strings blank? If I leave them blank could I just change it in the Site Name setting in ACP -> System -> General Configuration? I'd rather do that but didn't want to remove those strings and leave them blank. I suppose I could always add them again too if it doesn't work.

Translation strings would change what the default definition is to what you want to change it to. For example, that string by default from us says “Forums” and you have changed it to the name of your community. 

As mentioned, the Site Name is not what this. It does not appear where on the front end you want this. If you removed your customization, you would just get “Forums” there on the forum index.

Thanks so much everyone I finally got it all figured out and everyone's help was appreciated. I'm slowly learning. 😉

The first time is always the hardest!  Glad you got it squared away!!

Great! Not a hard fix but it's good to see it is now working for you.
