I have created a new category called knowledge articles and it has button + New topic the requirement is to change the text from "+ New Topic " to “Post an Article” [image] How can i do it ?

You can use [image] Customize new topic button text Theme component discourse2 Summary Customize the new topic button per category or tag eyeglasses Preview Preview on Discourse Theme Creator hammer_and_wrench Repository https://github.com/discourse/discour…

where do i find the category id ?

You can find it for example by navigating to the category and looking at the url. For example the id of the support category here is 6. https://meta.discourse.org/c/support/6

when i used this component it created a new button like the screenshot below. [image] can we remove the new topic button and show only the button Post a New Idea which i have created.

That theme component should only rename the button text and not create a second one. Do you have something else that could possibly be adding in the second button?

Yes earlier it just renamed but when i tried yesterday it created a new button instead on renaming the existing button.

I have updated the component and now it is working as expected.

Need help in changing the text on the button new topic
