BuddyPress.org

Hello there

I really have 2 issues

I am new to this plugin and need some help, please!

First Issue

Ok, so when someone successfully completes their registration they receive the following onscreen notice e.g.

You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.

I am trying to customise the notice to say e.g.

You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address. If you do not see your email in your inbox, please check your junk or spam folder account!

To attempt to make the customisation, in file manager, I follow the path: httpdocs/wp-content/plugind/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legasy/buddypress/members/register.php. I add the additional text in the PHP file but the changes do not show up on the front end. Can anyone please advise me on this?

Second Issue

The issue I am having is the fact that I don’t have access to the register page unless I attempt to create an account. The register page somehow redirects to the home page even though the Buddypress settings are set to register.

Thank you in advance
