Tweak registration confirmation text after submission

Hi on my buddypress registration page (integrated with the GeoDirectory plugin) I see that I get a message after submission that says: ‘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.’

But I’m not sure where I can edit this message to say that it is pending approval instead. There is no redirect after sign up so I cannot see a page that would be the cause of the verbiage. Any solutions on how to easily change this without messing with the hard code?

You’ll find that text in the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php template.

This article will help too 🙂

So I’m reading up on how to incorporate the text changes to this file in my child theme. Do I just create a path like this: /my-theme/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php

The path should be /my-theme/buddypress/members/activate.php

Any idea how I can get an email notification to the user who signs up after they’ve been manually approved in the backend? As of now it doesn’t automatically tell them when the admin activates them
