Edit Group and Profile Templates

    Hello,

    I am relatively new to wordpress and buddypress. I am currently developing a website using the Divi theme and I am trying to develop the buddypress side of my page with buddypress version 2.2.3.1. I was wondering if there was an easier way to edit the group and profile templates for buddypress besides editing the php files directly or if the design work for buddypress needs to all be hand coded.

    Is there anyway with less coding which can allow me to edit the templates? I’ve been searching for plugin for weeks and still haven’t found anything, the conclusion I’ve come to is that you have to be a developer to edit the profile templates. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    If the only way to edit the template files is directly in the php files, what are the file paths of the profile template and the group template?

    Thank you!

    Andrea

    BuddyPress templates are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

    To customize your theme, create first a child-theme.
    In this folder, add a folder called buddypress and copy any file you want to modify into it from /bp-legacy/, by respecting the original path child-theme/buddypress/members/xxx.php or /child/buddypress/activity/xxx.php

    More details are avaible on codex.

    Thank you, I’ve created a child theme based off of the Divi theme. Is the only way to edit the buddy press template files though adding the code to the php files, or is there another way to edit these pages (plug-in, buddypress specific theme, etc.)?

    It might help if you were a bit more specific about what you want to actually do to or with group and profile templates.

    The sidebar automatically is pushed to the bottom of the profile and group templates, I’d like to be able to move it to the right where the default position is. I think it could be pushed to the bottom due to the Divi theme, but i’m not sure.

    I’d like to know if there were a way to add widgets such as side bars or menus to the template pages in order to facilitate easier navigation through the buddypress pages.

    Thanks for your help!

    You should ask for this on your premium theme support.
