Login to your WordPress dashboard and click on BuddyPress on the left hand side. You will see a link called Profile Field Setup. This is where you create and edit your questions.
Hope that explains what you are looking for 
Thanks but I need to know which path/file contains those settings so I can edit it manually. Anyone know?.
Thanks, Birdy
You shouldn’t be editing core files.
BP has a ton of hooks you can use to get your custom questions on the registration page.
You could just hook into the following actions and then your custom questions will appear:
add_action('bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'YOUR CUSTOM QUESTIONS');
add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'YOUR VALIDATION ROUTINE');
Ok, a few months ago I manually edited a file and simply changed the text “Real Name” to “Verify User Name”. All I want to do now is change it back to what it was originally. I won’t be editing code…just a simple text name but I need to know what path/file I have to edit in order to do this.
Thanks again, Birdy
Can you break this down a touch further for the new guy. Do hooks get added to the function.php file in your theme?

Try logging into the WP backend. Navigate to “BuddyPress > General Settings”.
Under “Full Name Field Name”, change this from the default “Name” to whatever you want.

You need to create a custom function for outputting your questions and another one to validate your questions.
function my_custom_questions() {
// your questions would go here - would be an input field of some kind
// eg.
echo '<label for="my_question">Please enter something for this new field</label>';
echo '<input type="text" name="my_question" id="my_question" value="" />';
}
add_action('bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'my_custom_questions');
function my_custom_validation() {
// here you'd check the submitted input fields, you'd probably do a check to see if the question is blank, if not return an error message
// would be something like this:
global $bp;
// checking if an input field of "my_question" is blank
if ( $_POST['my_question'] == "" ) {
$bp->signup->errors['my_question'] = 'You must type in something for the field "my_question".';
}
}
add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'my_custom_validation');
Thanks r-a-y, this potentially answers my https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/creating-tos-hurdles forum post. Need to investigate further.

I swore it was a file I had edited but I guess not. I did what you said and had it fixed in seconds. Perfect. Thanks so much!
