I figured it out! Thank you so much!
Thank you. Do I create this file in my theme’s files? I don’t see a bp-custom.php file. Thank you.

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for your response.
1. I am trying to change the field on the edit profile page.
2. I am trying to modify my own profile to test the functionality.I tested it by just using the field id 3 as in your example. However it doesn’t seem to work. When this snippet is activated, the field won’t even update. It “saves” and refreshes, but the content remains unchanged whether I add or remove the text. Also when I add more than the character limit, I don’t get any notification of a problem either. 🙁
Thank you! How do I adjust to target group 2, field 3 please?
Wow, thank you so much for working on that! However, it’s actually words limit – I was looking for character limit. Can this be adjusted please?
That would be wonderful!!
Thank you for your response. It doesn’t look like that plugin is supported anymore – forum posts suggests that the character limit is not working either.
