Registration Text changed but appears the same

  • I just tried to change the following text

    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

    to

    <p><?php _e( ‘Registering for mysitename is easy, just complete the fields below and we\’ll get your account set up in no time.’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></p>

    in the register.php file, but it’s still the same!

    Have I missed something?

  • In what theme or plugin is the register.php file located?

    Hey Clayton, thanks for the response.

    It’s in default (i’m very new to this – 2 days in and no experience at all!).

    The file path is content/ themes/ bp-default/ registration

    Oh, my gosh. I had the default theme in my backup folder all along! Sorry about that!

    I just tested changes on line 18 and my changes were immediate. Make sure you didn’t accidentally remove any of the quotation marks or accidentally omit a bracket or something in your file. The only difference I can think of, is that my default buddypress theme is in this path:

    /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration

    So, if you have one in that path, and also have one in your themes directory, the theme you are editing might not be the one that is active.

    Thanks mate, that’s exactly why it didn’t work – i was editing the general wordpress file.

    I find it amazing that I can just type in the problems i’m experiencing and someone will help me fix them – cheers and what a great system!

    That turned out to be an easy one!
    Best wishes.
