Hi all

is there a way I could change the names of certain links such as "Guest" .. "Search"

Could it be done via Admin CP -->> Templates?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
in general, search link on the header of the forum is like below
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
{$lang->toplinks_search} --> this variable gets its value (Search) from a language file (global.lang.php)

language variables can be edited directly from the admin panel or they can be edited by using file editor
admin panel >> configuration >> languages >> your-language --> options (right side button) --> Edit Language Variables

language files are located at ./inc/languages/your-language folder
we use a code editor like notepad++ to edit language files and other php files

see config_languages
