BuddyPress.org

I tried adding a new field group as instructed in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/modifying-the-registration-form/ but i couldn’t see them on the /registration page. How do i make them visible on the registration page?

Hi danbp

I’ve read through that before and it doesn’t sound so easy to me.

I’m not a PHP, BuddyPress or WordPress expert I’m afraid, so editing core files is not something I feel comfortable doing. Plus if I wanted to add an image where would I do that? That’s why I was hoping there was a way to do this using a template file as I want to do more than just change the page title.

I don’t know how to generate a .MO file and I wouldn’t know how to edit a .PO or a .MO file either or what to put in them.

If you offer any further support, that’d be great.

So far, I’ve copied this file: buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php into my child theme and edited it and added content form tips where I want them, but I’m still left with the ‘Create an Account’ text at the top that I can’t get rid of – any ideas?

I dont see this page https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/15/2013/10/reg-form-default-state.png
when i go to my site /register.

Thanks for the link, but I’m not a WordPress or Buddypress coder, so it’s all a bit beyond me to be honest…

OK, I’ve gone through the buddypress plugin folder and found all instances of the words ‘Create an Account’ and there is only one file in which added edits will appear on the site and it’s this file:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php

How can I add this file to my buddy child theme so that I can make the text changes I require so that I’m not edited core plugin files?

However this doesn’t help with wanting to edit the ‘Registering for this site is easy….’ bit of text. So Can anyone help with a complete solution here?

Thanks

@danbp: Thank you for the suggestion. I forgot that. I did try and I get exactly the same behaviour so we can rule out any theme related issue. It really seems to be a Buddypress problem with several plugins.
Any other suggestions to see where the problem might be ?
Thanks.
