Trouble finding the PHP behind the "Create a Group" button

I’m having trouble finding the file that contains the HTML or PHP logic for the “Create a group” button in a page this: . Is the button generated by the database at all?

Also, when I ran a grep -R “Create a Group” search in my terminal in that theme’s directory, nothing came up. That’s why I wondered whether this feature was something DB-related and not something I could change in the PHP.

Always grep in the BP plugin folder first.

bp_group_create_button()
bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php ~L. 1890

Thanks for responding, @shanebp! I don’t see bp_group_create_button() in line 1890 in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php, though. Instead, line 1890 contains this comment:

* Output the ID of the current post in the loop.

Also, I’m confused: if I need to edit something from the core BP plugin to do something small like change the content of the text, how should I edit it? Is there such a thing as “child” plugins for the BP plugin?
