BuddyPress.org

I did what you said and it’s working now. Thank you very much!

It’s confusing as to why the new sub-folders differ so much from the originals. (In the child theme, we don’t have bp-templates, for example.)

Is the child theme only good for Buddypress editing?

Or can I use it to edit another plugin as well?

If I can use it to edit other plugins, could you give me an example of how I will create that path?

Hi,

Thanks for all your help. I still can’t get that method to work but I have found what I believe is a better (or at least an alternative) way to do this, using the bp-templates system. The bp-templates system was the method I had previously been trying to use but for some reason I couldn’t get it to work. It turns out I was using the wrong path for the templates in my child theme. The following article set me straight:

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

The above article explains the correct path for the templates. The mistake I made was to include bp-templates\bp-legacy followed by \buddypress in the path in my child theme. I should not have included the bp-templates\bp-legacy part of the path and just started with buddypress instead. I hope that makes sense.

Now I can make all my changes to the template files instead, and these changes won’t be affected by any updates.

Thanks again,

Simon

Thanks! Now, to be certain, let me ask you this:

This is the original path to the original register.php:
public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

This is the new path that I created by adding new folders:

public_html/wp-content/themes/graphene-child-theme/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

Please notice that I did NOT create a folder called “plugins,” during this process. Is this correct?

If not, let me know where I goofed. But if I am correct, and there will be no folder called “plugins,” with regard to the child theme, then let me ask this last question:

I will MAKE CHANGES TO the child theme’s register.php, and I will stop caring about what happens with the ORIGINAL register.php. Is this correct?

Thanks for your patience with me. I appreciate very much!

Hi,

For some reason all the above methods don’t work for me. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing PoEdit but no joy. Below is the .mo file that was automatically created using the above method. Note the translations are there but it all looks a bit messed up with nonsense at the start. Is this what an .mo file should look like?

Hi,

Thanks for this info. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong but when I follow the instructions step-by-step in the article, nothing changes. The default “You have successfully created your account!” message appears after registration. I edited the .po file in DreamWeaver then (I believe) I created a .mo file using PoEdit and uploaded the two files to wp-content/languages/plugins but nothing changes. I say “I believe” because this is the only part I’m not 100% on. All I did was open the .po file in PoEdit and save it again. When I checked the folder there was a .mo file present, so I assumed it had worked, but perhaps it had not worked? I opened the .mo file in DreamWeaver and checked its contents. Here are the contents:

Thanks Venutius,

Yes, the icons are from the Kleo theme and replace the links from Buddypress. I want to remove those sections.

Here are the default links in BP.

I want to remove some of those.
