[Resolved] Child Theme Structure for Editing Plugin Files….

My Info:
WordPress 3.7.1
BuddyPress 1.8.1
Site Link : http://duffitness.com/coachportal

My Question:
I am editing the display of profile information on individual profiles. Some files that I have edited are edit.php and profileloop.php… I have the file structure as plugins > buddypress > bp-templates > bp-legacy > buddypress > members > single > profile > “filename.php”
How do i insert this into my child theme so that it isn’t overwritten each time I complete an update…

I did try using the complete structure listed above directly inside my child theme, but this did not produce any results. I am assuming this has to do with the fact that plugins are not in a theme orginally…?

Thanks so much for your help!!

In your child theme, create a folder called ‘buddypress’.
In that folder, use the same dir structure as bp-legacy and put only the files you want to over-ride the files in bp-legacy.

In your case, the structure would be:
your-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
your-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
