This is for everybody who wants to edit the BuddyPress Member Profile Stats plugin so that it will read “[username] has been a member since [date]” instead of “[username] has been a member since [x] days ago.”

#1. Open buddypress-member-profile-stats/bp-member-profile-stats.php in the Editor

#2. Find where it reads:

`apply_filters( ‘etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_registered’, esc_attr( bp_core_time_since( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_registered ) ) );`

#3. Paste in this right underneath it:

`function etivite_filter_override_member_registered( $content ) {
global $bp;

return date( “F j, Y”, strtotime( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_registered ) );
}
add_filter(‘etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_registered’,’etivite_filter_override_member_registered’);`

I made a further modification. I didn’t want it to read [username]. At first I thought I’d change it to FirstName Last Name, but then I decided that I just wanted it to read that they joined my site on that date. Here’s what I did.

I found where it reads:

`function etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_since() {
return ‘

‘. bp_get_displayed_user_username() .’‘. __( ‘ has been a member for ‘, ‘bp-member-profile-stats’ ) .’‘. etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_registered() .’.

‘;`

And I changed it to:

`function etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_since() {
return ‘

‘. __( ‘ Joined … on ‘, ‘bp-member-profile-stats’ ) .’‘. etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_registered() .’.

‘;
}`

where … is the name of my site.

Hope this helps whoever is looking for this type of modification! Best of luck to everyone out there!

I’d like to show “member since” [date] rather than “member since 6 days ago.”

Does anyone know how to do this?

I’d also like to show “member since” without showing status update count, but these two are bundled under one checkbox in the admin panel.

@Jack

Thank you so much for this! I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but to which file do I add this code? I’m brand new to BuddyPress.

I’d love this too. Anybody?
