“I copied the bp-default containing the members directory and its files.”

`

You should not copy over the entire bp-default directory and its contents. Only copy over the individual file (and possibly directory) that you are trying to override.

If you copy over the entire bp-default directory into your child theme, your child theme would essentially be a standalone theme and you won’t benefit from using the bp-default theme when you upgrade. The parent theme would be ignored. Copying over only the specific files you are changing will also help you to see exactly what you’ve changed when it comes time to upgrade.
