Hello, I would like to change the text saying
“Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.”

I’ve googled and googled with no luck, I’ve tried the different suggestions.
I’ve tried changing the
/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
file, at about line 18. Where the text was like the above, but after changing it – it doesn’t affect it, it’s still the same.

@fugglet Unless you’re using the BP Default theme, the change you made won’t affect what shows up in your theme as you found out. Instead of revising core files (which would be overwritten when you upgrade next), you could do either of the following:

– copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into your theme or child theme following the directory structure, i.e. yourThemeName/buddypress/members/register.php and make the changes in that file.

– or http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/
