This simple article will guide you on how to change the names of the default groups in phpBB3.
There are six groups installed by default in phpbb3:
- Administrators
- Global Moderators
- Registered Users
- Registered COPPA Users
- Bots
- Guests
Important:
All the group names are defined in language/en/common.php.
We will change the default groups as follows:
- Administrators to Founders.
Registered Users to Standard Users
Bots to Crawlers
Global Moderators to Super Moderators
Registered COPPA users to COPPA Users
Guests to Visitors
The format of the following instructions is explained at How to Install MODS
It is important to note that language files should be edited in a plain text editor and afterwards saved with the encoding UTF-8 without BOM
