How to update Activation link

    Hi,
    Currently my Buddypress’ Activation message links the login to ordinary wp-login which I need it to go to http://mydomain.com/my-account/ where I have all my new registration and login.
    I have gone to: /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php
    …and on line 23:

    
<p><?php _e( 'Your account was activated successfully! Your account details have been sent to you in a separate email.', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>
				<?php else : ?>
					<p><?php printf( __( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now <a href="%s">log in</a> with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'buddypress' ), wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() ) ); ?></p>

    Can somebody please help me to incorporate my link in this code?

    Thanks very much.

    Please don’t double post. Your other thread has been deleted.

    Unless you are specifically using the bp-default theme, you should create a template overload of this file:
    buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\activate.php
    And make your changes there.

    Hi @shanebp,
    I’m sorry for the duplication as I thought I had placed in a wrong section the first time and I could not remove it myself.

    As for your suggestion, this will still rout users to wp-login page vs where I need it to go to which is “my-account”. How do I change this: <a href="%s"> to be directed to the location I need?
    It seems ” %s ” is some sort of shortcode that takes the user to that location. Can I just do <a href="http://mydomain.com/my-account/"> instead?

    Thanks again!

    You might want to google printf so that you understand what %s does.

    You can do this:
    printf( __( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now <a href="%s">log in</a> with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'buddypress' ), 'http://mydomain.com/my-account/' ); ?>

    You can also replace the printf with:
    echo 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now <a href="http://mydomain.com/my-account/>log in</a> with the username and password you provided when you signed up.';

    Thanks for the tip. It worked perfectly. Now, should I remove the old folder as you suggested in “template orverload” ?

    Regards!

    I never suggested you remove the ‘old’ folder.
    You mean this folder?
    buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\activate.php
    If so, no.
    And re-read the whole codex page so that you understand what a template overload is.
