Question

(in WordPress)I am wondering where to edit the BP templates - should I edit the core template files(in wp-content/plugins/buddypress) or is there a way to somehow make your own BuddyPress theme ?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Start by adding a Child Theme if you haven't done so already.

  • Read the Template Hierarchy link like slaFFik suggested.

  • Add a directory 'buddypress' to your child theme.

  • Copy the core template files you want to edit from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/(XXX/YYY/)zzz.php into themes/yourchildtheme/buddypress/(XXX/YYY/)zzz.php

If you edit the core files directly your changes could be lost when you update BP.
