@tengwah I’ve added a link to the WP codex page about child themes in the paragraph before “Let’s Start Building” section. Thank you for the reminder to add the reference for those who are new to child theming.

@tengwah If you want to keep the changes that you’re making to the BuddyPress Default theme, I suggest that you create a child theme and make the modifications there.

Simple way to remove the tags, add the following to your child theme’s stylesheet:
#commentform p.form-allowed-tags { display: none; }
