How to alter register/activate pages?

it currently says “You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address”

and

“Your account is now active – Your account was activated successfully! you can now log in with the username and password you provided when you sign up”

I would like to add more text to the top one to say to check their junk mail as in a few instances this is happening.

For the second one id like to add the login option from that screen and maybe beef out both pages with some pictures

Could someone please help me with this…Im very very new to the coding side of things so please be gentle.

It would be a huge help as we are hoping to release the site soon

Many Thanks

Rich

Hi Rich

To do this you must know some HTML and be able to edit a theme file directly via FTP.

Go to your theme folder and open functions.php and copy paste this at the bottom of it.
```
add_action('bp_before_register_page', 'custom_register_content');
function custom_register_content() {
	?>
	
	Your custom register text here. You can add images if you know basic HTML
	<img src="http://www.fromladtodad.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/surprise.gif" />
	
	<?php
}

add_action('bp_before_activate_content', 'custom_activate_content');
function custom_activate_content() {
	?>
	
	Your custom activate content goes here.
	
	<?php
}
```
Then replace with your content/HTML the custom texts between ?> and <?php
