    Hi, I’m seeing a duplicate description in the user fields, is this a known issue and how can I fix it?

    example here perfectpaddles.com/register under profile details and below

  • It looks like your buddypress/members/register.php file is based on an old version of the template (that had the field description hardcoded in the template). You’ll need to remove this line:
    <p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>

    in that file.

    Hi,

    I removed that code from the file in the following path, yet the issue persists
    public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php

    is there another file with a different path?

    @nebuchadnezzar no need to modify anything inside BuddyPress core files, You have to modify template files inside your child theme.

    Copy BuddyPress folder from your parent theme and paste them into the child theme and modify inside child theme at following path

    buddypress/members/register.php or
    buddypress/registration/register.php

    You can check following for reference
