Is there a way to customize the “activity” page by editing the theme files? All I want to do is add a jj nextgen slider on the top of the box where logged in users can post content. I’m planning to make the activity my home page, but I want some pictures on top of the activity stream.

I tried to add the image slider to the activity-loop.php, but nothing appeared. Makes me wonder if I’m editing the wrong file.

– Create a child theme.

– Copy over the file index.php from activity folder of bp-default theme to childtheme/activity/index.php
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L10

– Add the slider to above or within the content div or wherever you want in that index.php file
