Might be cool to supply a demo login so people can check it out better, without passing over a Facebook Signup.

wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\MYTHEME\members\single\home.php

In case it saves anyone else 5 hours of looking, here’s what worked for me. Copy the files from the default theme and do NOT put them all in a folder named buddypress, which was how I interpreted the codex entry. Also, for my theme, I needed to comment out line 80 of home.php:

<?php //get_sidebar( 'buddypress' ); ?>

Since my theme has no sidebars, this was making my site go splat.

I’m trying to edit home.php, and specifically the nav menu. Copied file:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\home.php

Edited this line:

<div style="border:5px solid red">
<?php do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' ); ?>
</div>

Should I see a red border around the nav menu? Nothing happens.

You can contact @shanebp and see if he is accepting clients at this time.

Which file(s) would I use to edit the default layout for this URL:
http://www.mysite.com/members/membername

I am assuming this is Xprofile (the page that I get when I click on someone’s name). I want to edit how this profile looks for all members. So far, all the file structures that I tried, failed to produce an edit to this main page.

@ davni:
If this helps, the following structure produced an edit on the Profile tab inside the Member profile. I copied this file and made an edit:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\profile.php

Then I created this directory structure:
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\profile.php

This doesn’t edit the main profile page, but instead, the tab inside it. Still don’t know how to edit main layout.

@magnusnordqvist,

to verify if gettext is enabled localy, you probably have to read your MAMP or WAMP user manual. 😉

Did you made your translation correctly ? I mean by usig poEdit (or similar software) to generate the compiled mo file ?

Once correctly compiled, the translation file must be in the language themes folder.

wp-content/languages/themes/your_theme-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/buddypress-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/twentythirteen-sv_SE.mo

etc……

Create a folder in your theme called ‘buddypress’

Copy a single file into that folder.

For example, copy this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

into this folder:
yourtheme/buddypress/members/

Then make a change to that file.

Did you try this? I am interested in doing the same thing. I would like to install buddypress with multiple blogs. I think I would like to keep the buddy press active for only one site on multisite, that way I can use all the plugins I want on the other blog sites. And not have to worry about compatibly with BP.

Did this work for you? Thank you.

Anybody there..??

I have similar confusion. I have read the BP codex entry here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

It says to create files inside your theme, in a folder called /buddypress. I am unable to match this template hierarchy against the plugin files, in order to do edits in my theme. I downloaded several themes to look for an example, but none of them had a /buddypress folder. So, I cannot figure out what directory structure I should have, and which files to copy.

I guess I will try copying the files from bp-themes/bp-default into {mytheme}/buddypress.
