Add topic to favorites
The Follow Button text response if someone is already subscribed is “You are following this blog.” Need to change “blog” to “website,” but not having any luck w/CSS on this particular edit. Any suggestions/code? Thanks for any help.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,

Have you tried using the Follow Blog widget instead? The optional texts to display to logged in members and to non-WordPress.com users may can be edited in Follow Blog widget settings.

I forgot to provide the link: Follow Blog Widget support page.

Hi there,

I did some testing and found that there isn’t a built-in way to change the wording of the “You are following this blog” message, even in the Follow Blog widget’s settings. I’ll add this as an enhancement request for the widget but, for now, you could use the following custom CSS to replace it:
```
#blog_subscription-2 > p {
    visibility: hidden;
}

#blog_subscription-2 > p:before {
    content: "You are following this site";
    visibility: visible;
}
```
Let me know if any issues come up with the above CSS!

@musicdoc1: I assumed that you’d be able to change the text in the Follow Blog widget’s settings after first looking at this thread, also. :) I definitely think that the option of editing that text would be a good enhancement for this widget so am grateful this came up.
