What\\\'s the best way to edit the registration page?

    I need to make some modifications to locations of some of the texts on the registration page. What is the easiest/hassle free way to make changes to, what I think is a core page, in Buddypress. I’m trying to avoid overwriting whenever there is a new update (Buddypress or WPMU).

    I think the location is:

    wp-includes/registration.php

    Please correct me if I’m wrong about the location.

    Thanks in advance!

    The best way is to create a child theme, as per https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/, and to copy over registration/register.php from buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default into the child theme. Then you can make modifications til the cows come home :)

    Thank you both, that helped…

    I did however run into one problem. The file that I need to work on is located outside the bp-default:

    wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php

    Isn’t that the file that I would edit to work on the positioning of text on the registration page? I may be wrong…

    Thanks!

    What is the piece of text in bp-core-signup.php that you have to change? You might be able to do it with a filter.

    How so?

    The frontend stuff is located in registration/register.php.

    What are you trying to change?

    [EDIT]

    Boone was just a step faster than me!
