Customizing the Completed Registration Page

    Greetings,

    After a user submits the registration form on the Buddypress site I’m building, the form disappears and the page content refreshes (url remains the same) to a page with the heading “Check Your Email To Activate Your Account!” that says: “You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.”

    However, I want new registrants to be manually approved by an admin. Thus, I’ve edited the email new registrants receive and removed the activation link from it, plus I installed a plugin that sets the status of new accounts to pending and requires an admin to approve their account before the registrant can log in. The only thing left I need to do is edit the text of the completed registration page (as described above) to notify users that their account is awaiting approval instead of stating that they’ve received an activation email. How should I go about this?

    Thanks,
    trecks

    Hi Trecks,
    It’s a good question.
    The page that you see being loaded is actually register.php template file.

    Are you using a child theme? If yes, then look for buddypress/members/register.php in the child/parent theme and copy it to your child theme in buddypress/members/register.php and modify the text as required.

    If your theme does not come with it, you can copy the register.php from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php to yourtheme/buddypress/members/register.php and modify it.

    All we are doing here is overriding the registration template.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Brajesh,

    Thanks for the help! I followed your instructions and now have a copy of the register.php file in my theme/buddypress/members directory. I was able to successfully edit the paragraph content for the completed registration page as I wanted, however, there was no line in the register.php file where the heading text “Check Your Email To Activate Your Account!” was present. I searched around in the file structure of my theme folder and the buddypress plugin folder to see if I could find the text elsewhere, but to no avail. Do you have any idea what I might need to do to change the heading text?

    Regards,

    @trecks — What plugin did you use “that sets the status of new accounts to pending and requires an admin to approve their account before the registrant can log in.” ?

    You also mention you “found a fix” for your other problem. Care to share what you found?

    Thanks.
