If you just copy the members folder over to /yourchildtheme/buddypress, that should work. yes/no?
Now I copied the complete directory:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/
to
/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/
All files and folders… but still, editing activity-loop.php (deleting all content to be sure..) does not affect my website at all.
If you just copy the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/
to
/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress
then you can edit those files.
Inside this folder:
/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress
You should then have:
activity
assets
blogs
common
groups
members
— In other words, these are the only subfolders that you will be able to modify this way.
Some other things to keep in mind, and sorry if you already know, but temporarily deactivate caching and/or minification plugins while editing, and depending on your browser settings, delete cache
That’s exactly what I did. But editing /activity/activity-loop.php does not change a thing on the website.
Strange, because editing entry.php in the same folder does….
One thing to try, I seem to remember that it might work if you put it in child-theme/buddypress/buddypress/... worth a try but I’ve not tried it myself.
No 🙁
I also deleted all the code in the original activity-loop.php (in plugins) to see if anything happend… site works like a charm!
I don’t get this.
One thing you could try to use BP Template Overloader to create a theme independent overload for Nouveau, this changes the loading of templates to a separate directory and should work.
First of all thanks for al your help.
I installed the plugin.
Comparing the ‘original’ and ‘overload’ version of activity-loop.php I see this:
That’s fine, because I deleted all the content to test.
But my site still works! No cache pluging, Cloudflare or what so ever active…
Yes, it seems that BP is not picking up the overloaded file, just ignoring it and using the master file. That’s why I suggested setting up a TIO for that file to see if that works since the plugin sets up a new search hierarchy for templates.
No, a TIO does not change a thing..
I’ve just copied activity-loop into the theme/buddypress/activity directory and the overload works for me.
