Hi,
When we access a discourse forum from a mobile device, the “signup” button is nowhere to be seen, though the login button is.
Is there a way we can add a signup button for mobile devices too?
Thanks.

In a support thread titled “Signup button while on mobiles,” prateekvarma reports that the “signup” button is missing on mobile devices, though the login button is visible. ron_jeremy suggests using “Login > Create New Account” as a workaround, but prateekvarma argues this is not intuitive for most users and prefers a direct signup button. codinghorror recommends customizing the button text via Admin > Customize > Text, but prateekvarma asks if this can be made mobile-only to avoid redundancy on desktop. fefrei suggests hiding the signup button entirely on desktop. prateekvarma shares a screenshot showing confusion over which text key controls the navbar login button, and Pad_Pors notes that sometimes a launcher rebuild is needed to clear cache and apply text customizations. The thread highlights a UX gap on mobile and the challenge of targeted customization in Discourse.
Does Login > Create New Account not work?
ah, i should have mentioned that on my message. Though that does work, but most people might not even consider that.
It’s much better to have a direct button/link on upfront.
Feel free to override the text on the button to whatever you prefer in Admin, Customize, Text.
..is there a way we can make this modification visible only on mobiles? Else it’ll look like “signup” and “signup/login” on a computer 
… anyone else who can think of a solution?
You could override the text and hide the sign up button even on desktop.
…sorry for the super rocket-science question, but which one from the list is the correct on for the “log in” button on the nav bar.. i tried all but none of them work.
don’t know which one is the answer! since mine doesn’t change either, but know that sometimes for the text to be customized after the changes, i had to run the launcher rebuild app, because of the cashing issue.
