Hi , im aware that you can setup custom login/register links in the members admin of wpforo.

my question is , if I’m not logged in and click on add new topic it comes with the JS pop up saying “please login or register” where can I find that file and that code to edit manually. 

 I have a POP UP login / register modal plugin , the login link for that modal is a CSS class and not an actual link .. so basically my question is , how can I add that CSS class to the login link of ONLY the Js pop up of wpforo, or just tell me where that file is please and ill code it myself.

this image to give you a better understanding ,
I made a minor change in Chrome inspeact element to <span class="lrm-login">Login</span> ... and it it is able to load the login window I want.  Where is that file, can't find it anywhere at all !! I'm only able to find the CSS related to the message box, I need to edit the box it self, not the CSS !!

please don't tell me there is no way to do that, then I can't use this software !

Hi @moenagy,

Please follow the steps:

1. Install the Simple Custom CSS and JS plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/

2.  Add the following JS code via the plugin 

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#wpf-msg-box a[href$="?wpforo=signin"]').replaceWith('<span class="lrm-login">Login</span>');
});

This works after the page loading. 

 If you remove the #wpf-msg-box selector from the code above, it'll replace all login links (wpForo). 

Another way is changing the add_footer_html() function in wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-includes/class-template.php file. 

The second one is not the update safe way.

I’ll try that as soon as I get back home, I shall do the same to the register link too with another JS code via that plugin to replace the register link?
