BuddyPress.org

I’m running WordPress v4.0 with BuddyPress 2.1.1 on an Apache based server, and I was wondering how I might go about customizing the text that’s in the activation email (or in ANY of the BuddyPress confirmation emails, for that matter).

I’ve been researching this for nearly an hour now, and all of the tutorials I’ve come across mention that you’re supposed to add a filter hook of some kind, — either to your theme’s functions.php file — or to a bp-custom.php file that’s in the plugins folder. However — the comments on those posts/tutorials are then littered with complaints stating that “it doesn’t work”. Also — the couple of wordpress plugins I’ve found and tried that are supposed to allow for the customizing of the emails also don’t seem to work at all.

So what’s the proper way to customize the activation/confirmation emails when using BuddyPress 2.1.1 ? Is there some new and improved WordPress plugin that’s available from some where that will allow me to do this? If not .. then what are the most recent instructions for adding the ncessary filter hooks when using BuddyPress v2.1.1?

Or can this be done by editing a language file, by any chance? Please advise.

Thanks,
