Edit login page text

Topic summary

A merchant using the Ride theme wants to customize the login page text from the default to “Login or create an account to continue.” The site operates on a membership model requiring account creation before purchase.

Solutions offered:

  • Code-based approach: Edit the login.liquid file in theme templates/sections and add custom HTML/CSS code below the </body> tag to override the default text and styling.

  • No-code solution (recommended): Use Shopify’s built-in theme editor by navigating to Online Store > Themes > Edit Default Theme Content, then search for “Log In Page” and modify the “Title” field directly.

Important concern raised: One suggested code solution was flagged as problematic because it would break the current login/signup functionality, preventing customers from accessing their accounts.

Multiple respondents provided screenshots demonstrating the theme content editor approach, which appears to be the safest method for this customization without risking site functionality.

Hi guys, I’m looking for some coding help to edit the text on this page. My website is focussed around a membership where you need to create an account before a purchase. I would like to change the main text to ‘Login or create an account to continue’. I know it has the create an account link below but I would like it to be on the main body of text too

I’m using The Ride theme

Thanks

Hey @amoss-merch ,

To update the text in the Ride theme, you’ll need to edit the relevant Liquid template or localization file in your Shopify theme. Here’s how you can proceed:

  1. Online Store

  2. Themes

  3. Edit Code

  4. Look for the login.liquid or similar file under Sections or Templates. Sometimes, this text might also be found in a snippet (e.g., customer-login.liquid).

  5. Add this code under the


        

            # Login or create an account to continue
            
            
or

            
            
            Forgot your password?
            
            Create account
        

    

and add CSS:

Hey Amoss,

You can easily change the text without touching code via Edit Theme Content.

Just search for Log In Page, then Title. That’s the one that changes the title in the login page for Ride Theme

This “solves” his problem but it actually doesn’t and worse, it introduces new problems which is terrible. Implementing this breaks his current setup and no longer allows customers to log in or sign up. :-1:

Hi @amoss-merch

You may can try to edit texts from Online Store > Themes > click “…” in the current theme > Edit default them content.
