Hi there,

I’ve searched the files and DB, but can’t find where to change the default sidebar login prompt message: “Please create an account to get started.”

Can someone help please?
Thanks.

Note.

Searching through the buddypress .pot file, it seems like you need to ‘translate’ `Please create an account to get started.`

Tried creating the relevant language files as they describe, step by step, not working and don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I just did it on my test site and it worked….

My default language in wp-config.php is defined as
`define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en_GB’);`
( see Language codes: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language )

So I placed the buddypress-en_GB.mo and buddypress-en_GB.po in /wp-content/languages

Then logged out and the new message was there in the default sidebar….

It’s located in bp-theme/sidebar.php
