I have found and followed this as best I can, my Template Overload File is in this root:
Wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/register.php/
The problem is, I think, that Buddypress isn’t finding my Template Overload File in my child-folder.
Should the ideal root for Template Overload Files be
Wp-content/themes/buddypress/register.php/
??
It’s driving me crazy how most of my buddypress tweaks I make go with no affect at all.
After clearing the cache and browser history, it seems to have nothing to do with the root.
But the only option I have for this Template Overload File to work is to tweak the file itself.
BOOM!! cracked the issue.
The instructed root was missing vital info that could save a lot of us the headache…
IT IS NOT /my-theme/buddypress/
as instructed the Template Overload File.
IT IS: /my-theme/buddypress/members/
to then save your file in that folder.
Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome.

No it isn’t missing vital info, the clarification is directly after the instruction on naming convention for the BP folders in a child theme.
N.B. Inside the subfolder ‘community’ you must preserve the path structure/folders that exist in the BP original /buddypress/ folder so /activity/ must be created to hold index.php or any of the other activity templates.
