How to edit the “Activate” page

Hey Tomas,

Thanks for reaching out to us

With respect to your question here, by default the “Activate” page is not editable. We are also yet to integrate a template to edit the page within our plugin. What you can perhaps do is override the activate.php file in BuddyPress. You can find this file in your plugins folder ../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php.

If you are using the “Nouveau” template pack, then you can find the file in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/activate.php.

As for the login, you can create a page and add the BuddyPress Login form or use a login widget on a sidebar.

I hope this information helps

Kind Regards

Hello John,

That is a shame. It would be great if there was an editable template in future. Thank you for your advice! ??

Hello John,

Can I please ask you two additional questions? If I should create a new topic, I’ll do so.

Firstly, is it please possible to edit the “Create a Group” page/template?

Secondly, is there a way to redirect a user to a certain page after the registration? Such as to show a page prompting users to activate the link in the email. Because after the registration, I only see a blank tiny page.

Thank you for your advice.

Hey there,

With respect to the questions here:

1. Sorry this is not possible by default. You would need to override the create.php file within the following directory paths:

/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/

/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/

2. Please add the following code within the functions.php file of your theme:

function reg_redirect($user) {
    $redirect_url = 'https://staxwp.com/';
    wp_redirect($redirect_url);
}
add_action('bp_core_signup_user', 'reg_redirect', 100, 1);

You can alter the URL in place with that of your preferred redirect URL.

I hope this helps

Kind Regards
