Thanks, so I think you are saying "delete /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/cbgroupjiveenglish/english.php" - correct?

Can you look at the version of language.php that I attached? Is the change we made correct if our intent is to remove the reference to the Category in the Join notification?

Line 123 Was: '[user] has joined [group] in [category] and requires approval!' => '[user] has joined [group] in [category] and requires approval!',

Line 123 Is: '[user] has joined [group] in [category] and requires approval!' => '[user] has joined [group] and requires approval!',

I'm not clear why the string is repeated on the that line. Or should we change both sides, like:

'[user] has joined [group] and requires approval!' => '[user] has joined [group] and requires approval!',

This is killing me - so we

1. deleted english.php,

2. changed line 123 in language.php to read:

'[user] has joined [group] and requires approval!' => '[user] has joined [group] and requires approval!',

3. moved language.php from the /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/cbgroupjiveen-gb folder to the /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/cbgroupjiveenglish folder

and STILL we get: [user] has joined [group] in [category] and requires approval!

So it is either finding another language file somewhere or not finding our language file and defaulting to some hard code???

oops - our posts crossed - let me try uninstalling and reinstalling, and only changing the right-hand side of the code.

I see through ftp that deleting the plug-in in admin did not delete some of the old folders and files, so I deleted the folders, re-installed the plug-in and voila! Success! Thanks for your patience.
