Hi,

is there a way to change the text of the subscription button? Currently it says ‘Subscribe’ and ‘Unsubscribe’ and I would like to change to ‘Watch’ and ‘Unwatch’ respectively. I believe the code that can change this is within the file \bbpress\includes\topics\template.php lines 1781 and 1782. I could change them in here but I would rather change them via my child theme if this is possible?

Thanks!

untested, but this should work
```
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe') ;

function change_subscribe ($args) {
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Watch' ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unwatch' ;
return $args ;
}
```
Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Thanks, the code works however only when loading onto the page. When I click to either ‘Watch’ or ‘Unwatch’ the text reverts back to ‘Unsubscribe’ or ‘Subscribe’ until I refresh the page again.

ok, try this
```
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'Subscribe' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Watch';
	}
	if ( $text == 'Unsubscribe' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Unwatch';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
```

The way subscriptions works has changed

use this code now :
```
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe') ;

function change_subscribe ($args) {
	$post_id = $args['object_id']  ;
	if (bbp_is_topic( $post_id )) $text = 'topic' ;
	if (bbp_is_forum( $post_id )) $text = 'forum' ;
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Subscribe to this '.$text ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unsubscribe' ;
return $args ;
}
```
