Modifying template files in child theme

I’m specifically trying to modify members-loop.php, but I want to make sure I’m copying the file structure correctly into my child theme before asking any specific questions.

To modify members-loop.php, do I need to copy this file structure to my child theme folder?
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Or does this need to be accomplished in a different manner?

Thank you!

You copy the original file from:
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

to the child to get this
your-child/buddypress/members/mmebers-loop.php

danbp, always helpful.

I would suggest to copy the entire template folder to your child, this allows easy access in the future.

Make sure to make notes, every update of buddypress can/will require a new template folder to be created due to new template tags.
