Lalaley forms can be edited by going to WordPress Dashboard > Lalaley > Forms. As you can see below, out of the box, you will see three forms there: the Billing Information form, the Register form, and the Edit Account Information form.
The form field labels of these forms can easily be changed by simply typing the new form field labels, as you can see in this screenshot below.
However, in cases where that does not work, you can use the free Loco Translate add-on to change these form field labels for you. For example, if you need to change (or translate) the City, State and ZIP code field labels in the “Register” form, then you can change them using Loco Translate. In the screenshot below, you can see the City field label being translated using Loco Translate.
