members-loop.php – Not Updating?

    I am trying to make some modifications to members-loop.php so that the member activity in the member list of a group does not display. This is the line that I need comment out:

    <div class=”item-meta”><span class=”activity”><?php bp_member_last_active(); ?></span></div>

    -The latest version of BuddyPress installed
    -I’ve tried to update the buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php file
    -I’ve tried to copy the structure buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ over to my-child-theme-directory/buddypress/ in my child theme directory and make modifications there to my-child-theme-directory/buddypress/members/members-loop.php. (I copy the entire BuddyPress bp-legacy folder into the child theme).

    The interesting thing is that I can make edits and changes to other sections like the my-child-theme-directory/members/single/cover-image-header.php and remove activity information for individual user. It just seems that for whatever reason the listing of all the members (which I thought was controlled in members-loop.php) the edits are not showing up.

    I’m thinking that maybe it’s pulling this information from another location although I have tried to search through all files with no luck.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

    It could be that your theme is loading its own version of members-loop.
    To confirm switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2013 and see if your edits appear.

    That was great thinking! I tried to enable 2013 with the change made to members-loop.php with no luck. It still shows the Activity.

    The theme that I am using is not a true BuddyPress theme. It’s just a normal WordPress theme but I know that shouldn’t really matter for what we are talking about I don’t think.

    I’ve also tried changing it in the bp-themes/bp-default/ which I believe is not really used anymore correct?

    Thank you so much! Any other suggestions?

    Using WP 2013 theme, I can overload the members-loop and the changes are visible.
    iow. I can’t duplicate your issue.

    Try adding some text to the top of your template overload.

    Check your plugins/bp-custom.php, if you have one, for functions re the members loop.

    Deactivate any plugins re members loop.

    Here are the items that I’ve tried based on your previous suggestion:

    – Add text to different parts of the members-loop.php file and it doesn’t show up
    – Where it calls the page in the members/index.php I’ve commented that call out:

    <div id=”members-dir-list” class=”members dir-list”>
    <?php /* bp_get_template_part( ‘members/members-loop’ ); */ ?>
    </div><!– #members-dir-list –>

    – Checked the plugins/bp-custom.php that I created and removed the code in that file.
    – Disable all the plugins that are attached to BuddyPress
    – Renamed the members folders in the following locations to members2 to see if it affected displaying the members and it doesn’t seem like it references any of the locations: buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/, buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/ and my-child-theme-directory/buddypress/members/
    – The last thing I tried was to copy the buddypress/ folder into the WP 2013 theme and run it through that completely and still I don’t see the changes. Even after I change the theme to the BuddyPress Default theme and update members-loop.php it still shows that information.

    Not sure what else to try :P. Thank you for all your help so far! I’m very stumped!

    Found it! I needed to make the change to my-child-theme-directory/buddypress/groups/single/members.php instead of the members-loop.php in my-child-theme-directory/buddypress/members/.

    That took a while but glad I was able to find it. Now instead of the Activity information I want to display the Company field which is a custom field. I think I saw the code to do this and will try it tomorrow but it should be pretty straight forward right?

    Thanks again for all your help!!

    I just added this line of code to the members.php file under where I commented the Activity information and it worked like a charm!

    //Add the Company information to the members loop
    bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Company’ );

    Thanks!
