I can’t edit my previous comment so I will post an update here:
I just discovered that I do have Buddypress Nouveau. I did try the custom CSS but it didn’t work for me.
you can try
.bp-login-widget form p:first-of-type {
display: none;
}
.
Thanks for this but it had no affect at all.
Hi Steph,
The code you linked to at the Buddydev site works for me.
I am using Buddypress 10.x
Nouveau template pack.
It is PHP code (not CSS) so should be added to your site accordingly.
Hi ThinLizzie,
Oh I see, not a developer so didn’t know it is PHP code.
Could you tell me which PHP file to add it to? I assume it has to be in the plugin folder (ie Buddypress) in the wordpress “wp-content” -> “plugins”-> “buddypress” folder in the back end files? But i don’t know which php file it should go in.
I’ve tried adding it to the end of a “bp-loader.php” and a “class-buddypress.php” but neither seemed to work.
Thank you
Stephunique,
– I would recommend you use a plugin to add PHP code to your site. It’s very easy and safe.
Search for the free “Code Snippets” plugin by Code Snippets Pro.
– However, if you prefer to add the code direct to your theme, it should be added near the end of the functions.php file.
Hi Thinlizie,
Thanks for the suggestion. I can confirm that the code in the original link I posted works using Code Snippet.
However, I prefer to have as few plugins as necessary. I know how to access the control panel of my site, so I prefer to add the code directly to the php file. However, there is no “functions.php” file in my control panel – not in the wp-contents, not in plugins nor buddypress folder. Do you know where I can access the correct folder for the correct php file to add the code to?
Many thanks
Stephunique,
You can usually access functions.php via the WordPress admin area.
WP Admin -> Appearance -> Theme File Editor
If you can not see it there, then contact your Theme provider for support.
Again, I recommend you use the Code Snippets plugin. It will add almost no overhead to your sites speed.
This is how i did it, and it works as i tested it for my site.
Go to your files:
public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/includes
wp-content > plugins > buddypress > bp-templates > bp-nouveau > includes
edit functions.php, go to line 983, or
keyboard find and search for “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.”
edit and click save
@carinacodes Thank you for posting this! I was also using keyboard search to look for this line that says “Registering for this site is easy.” but I couldn’t find it, thanks for revealing where it is.
