Which file to edit – change private group message?

    I’m trying to figure out how to change the message that’s displayed to users when they try to enter a private group. Something about “This group is private, you need to join”.

    Does anybody know which file contains the text that I can override?

    I thought it would be buddypress > groups > single > request-membership.php but I don’t see that text there.

    Found the file!
    It’s in buddypress > bp-groups > bp-groups-template.php

    But I’m not sure how to create the folder structure in my theme folder, I tried this but it didn’t work 🙁

    [child-theme-folder] > buddypress > bp-groups > bp-groups-template.php

    You cannot overload core files in a theme – only template files which are in this dir: bp-templates.
    To change messages, use the language file.
