How can I change the word avatar to picture or photo without interfering with BP or future updates? Thanks.

Those directions don’t seem to work. I think I’ve followed them, cleared browser cache and cookies, but the site remains unchanged.

Hi!
I’ve done the same thing, but to no avail!
I’ve created the .po files and .mo files using the directions but am unable to change the label for Avatar to Photo.
Please help someone!

What do you want to change to “Change Picture”, the title of the page, or URL, or what?

if you want to change the title label, go into /members/single/profile/change-avatar.php and change the

`

` to whatever

if you have template pack installed, or have a child theme, it won’t change on bp updates.
