How to change content displayed on “account activate page”

    Hi, the “Activate Page” displays the following content after account activation:

    Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.

    How can I change this content without modifying the core files? I’d like to change it to something like “Account Activated.”

    Check out the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article. You can use a language file to “localise” BuddyPress strings.

    Thanks for your suggestion @henrywright. Is it possible to achieve this with hooks instead?

    Actually, no. But overriding the activate.php template is an option if you wanted to go down that route.

    Thanks again @henrywright. What’s the simplest way to override activate.php? I don’t mind overriding it if I won’t be modifying the core files.

    BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy, just as WordPress does. If you have a copy of activate.php in your theme, BuddyPress will look for it and load that in place of the core template file. See the article for more info.

    Thanks @henrywright for pointing me in right direction. This will definitely work. I’m giving it a try and will let you know the results!
