Hi @leanneoleary
Which theme are you using and have you customised the registration page in any way?
I am using Cinematix (http://themeforest.net/item/cinematix-buddypress-theme/4959387) and haven’t customised it in any way.
I have found the default HINT for wordpress is the following:
<?php _e(‘Hint: The password should be at least seven characters long. To make it stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols like ! ” ? $ % ^ & ).’); ?>
I assume this is what is being used? If so I can just add this password hint but what file do I need to edit?
Many thanks for your help.

You shouldn’t edit core files because when you update BuddyPress your changes will be lost. It’s better if you track down the root cause of the problem and try to fix it.
There isn’t a problem that needs tracking down. I simply need to add a password hint to the register page. How would you suggest I do this without editing the files?
On the registration page, the password shows a strength meter from weak to strong. However, I have had a few testers mention that no matter what password they use the meter always says ‘Weak’
This is definitely a problem. As your testers provide more obscure passwords, the meter should start to increase from weak to strong
Yes its only a problem if they don’t have the following info, “Hint: The password should be at least seven characters long. To make it stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols like ! ” ? $ % ^ & ).’”
I have managed to add this sentence to the form with JQuery so I haven’t had to amend any existing code.
Thanks for you help.
@leanneoleary great to hear you found a solution 😀
