create a group – name label

How can I change the label text – Group Name (required), in “create a group” form page?

I’ve tried to change the text here:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php

but it doesn’t work.

Actually, what I need is to show here (on this label) some instructions (recommendations) about how the groups should be named.

Thanks,
Andrei

@ayatango,

golden rule: never change a core file.

If you want to customize things you should use a child theme. And to ad/remove or modify core functions, you should use your child theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

In create.php are 18 hooks you can use to add some custom explanation !
In your case, you may hook into do_action( 'bp_before_group_details_creation_step' );
