[Resolved] adding bp-custom.php kills site

I’m trying to add a bp-custom.php to the plugins folder with this code…
```
<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
?>

/**
 * Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 */
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
```
however, when it is present in the folder, the website shows a content encoding error and the admin panel shows chinese characters with the code in the bp-custom.php (above) on the first line.

Does anyone have an idea what’s happening? Thanks.

You can’t define the default component outside of php tags. Try this:
```
<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
/**
 Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 **/
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
?>
```
