 * Hi there,
 * I used the shortcode to load the register form:
 * `[theme-my-login default_action="register" show_title=0 show_links="0"]`
 * Are there any option to change the submit button text? I believe the default 
   is “register”, I want to change it to “Create an account”.
 * Is creating a custom template is the only option?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-submit-button-text%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Try placing this in [theme-my-login-custom.php](https://docs.thememylogin.com/article/63-using-theme-my-login-custom-php):
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'init', function () {
           if ( $button = tml_get_form_field( 'register', 'submit' ) ) {
       		$button->set_value( 'Create an Account' );
           }
       } );
       ```
