BuddyPress.org

Hi all – apologies in advance if I’ve missed something simple. I’m new to BuddyPress but not to WP and have just installed the latest version of BuddyPress 2.1 in WP 4.0. I’m using a custom child theme based on Twenty Twelve.

I’m attempting to do some very basic customisations of the layouts of member and group directories in BuddyPress (by adding some custom fields to the displays) – and using the various codex documentation I have created a new directory in my child theme: twenty-twelve-child/buddypress which contains both the ‘members’ and ‘groups’ directories copied from bp-templates/bp-legacy/. I’ve customised the members-loop.php to add in new fields but it seems to me this is not the file being used to generate the output of the members directory of the group (e.g. http://mysite.com/groups/group-name/members)?

I have read the detailed template hierarchy documentation but I don’t think my files are overloading and I’m probably not editing the right ones to modify the members directory of the group. Should I be copying over/modifying files from a different directory other than the bp-legacy ones?

Hope that makes sense and many thanks in advance. I’m happy to provide more information as needed!
