Welcome Form on WP Page

Hello,

I’m helping someone can help me, I’ve been stuck on this for a few days now.

Our site uses Wishlist Member current to offer basic content but the user has the option to upgrade their membership to a buddypress profile.

We have created a ‘Welcome’ page which provides the user with start off steps 1- Filling out their buddypress profile and 2- uploading a profile picture. Currently these links open in new tabs, which isn’t ideal. I have copied the edit.php and change-avatar.php into a PHP snippet plugin and these both display on the page fine… however, they do not work!

Have I missed something? Perhaps I’m not linking to the right script for it to work. Could anyone help at all? Or suggest another way of setting this up?

Thank you very much!

You have to override them in your child theme, then only it will work. Please check https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

Ah okay so if I put them into the following /mychildtheme/buddypress/bp-legacy/edit.php then the shortcode through php snippet will work? Or do I have to design a new shortcode or template for this to work?

Thank you very much

You have to use the shortcode in the template wherever you want.

Hello, thank you very much for getting back to me – unfortunately I’m still unable to connect the upload to the action. The site is allowing me to upload an image and it’s registering the upload but then the image just seems to disappear and not update the profile.

Also, the profile fields redirects to /welcome/profile/edit/group/1 which therefore produces a 404 error.
