Profile Field Descriptions below select boxes

[ElectroMagnetic]

Hi there.
The field descriptions in the Profile fields are appearing underneath the selection boxes. I would like the description to appear immediately under the fieled title and makes the selection process much easier and clearer.
Here it was discussed, but would really be gratefull if you could assist with a clearer guidance, as I am not familiar with coding.
I found the <p class=”description”><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p> in my sweetdate/registration/register.php (in the child theme but dont know where to place it to get the desired affect.
Also how would I add a description to the additional groups I have create to have the same affect as above (group title with description under then all the fields to edit?)
Look forward to your help.

Hi ElectroMagnetic,
Unfortunately with the latest Buddypress 2.0 the generation of the fields is automatically done by a Buddypress method and can’t be easily changed. You can only move it before the visibility section in your template. You need HTML/PHP/CSS knowledge to change templates. You can hire a developer to help you with any custom changes that are outsite your knowledge.

Hi there Catalin
I ended up at the wordpress forum and one of the developers of buddy press “donmik” posted a fix for this problem as a javascript solution. I have tried it in my “register.php” in the child theme…but I cant get it to work even when encased in <script>…. </script>
This is the code he gave:

Question : How can I put description text below my field’s label ?
How to : For now, you can use javascript to do this. Write this javascript at the end of your template file (register.php for example).
Code:

// For each description we have.
jQuery(‘p.description’).each(function() {
// Clone description.
// Looking for parent div.
// Looking for label of checkbox field or radio field first.
var desc = jQuery(this).clone(),
parent = jQuery(this).parent(),
label = parent.find(‘span.label’);
// If there is no label of checkbox field or radio field, we look for normal labels.
if (!label.length) {
label = parent.find(‘label’);
}
// If there is a label.
if (label.length) {
// Putting the description after the label.
label.after(desc);
// Removing the original description.
jQuery(this).remove();
}
});

Please, Please can you help me with this…Logically, on any form the description should be before the answers you want the client to give.
I would really appreciate your help here.

});
