Buddypress Profile

[omar_szn]

Hello,

I’m a huge fan of The Queen website and i would really recommend everyone i know who wishes to build a website to go for you guys!

 

i got a question for you.. how can i edit the profile page?

example: the icons of the profile that says ” Activity, profile, notifications, etc.. ” i need to change an icon’s title or name. how can i do that?

 

and i dont know how to get to the .php files and edit them.. like from where do i extract them, edit them and where to put them again?!

 

Thank you so much!

Hi,

The most easy way it’s to “translate” that words, you can do it with Loco Translate plugin i will paste the guide below. So instead to edit the template files you will translate in the same language those.

Theme strings and plugins strings can easily be changed by using Loco Translate plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/

A small introduction on how translations work

Translatable strings can come from the theme or from the installed plugins. You need to translate the theme or the plugin depending on what section of the site your string is found.

For example if your string is on your BuddyPress profile then most probably you will need to translate BuddyPress plugin. If you are on the Forums section of your site then bbPress plugin should be the one that needs to be translated. Another example is the rtMedia plugin that adds the Media links to BuddyPress and if you want to translate it then this plugin will contain the string.

Follow these steps to get you started:

• Install Loco Translate plugin
• Go to the plugin dashboard: WP Admin – Tools – Manage translations
• Find the theme or plugin in the list.
• If the language isn’t already in the list then click Add new language, choose your language and if you are asked where you want to save the language files choose global language directory ( wp-content/languages/ ).
• Press SYNC button to synchronise your translation with the provided .pot file
• Search for the string you want to translate and add your translated string.
• Press Save when you finished your translation.

Note: You will have to set the language for your blog from WP-admin – Settings – General – Site Language – Choose your language

Cheers

Thank you so much for the fast reply!
Its a great and easy idea, will try it and let you know. Speaking about the hard way, i wanted to know how to do it because there are other stuff that need to be done the hard way.
Thank you again!

Hi,

That’s one of the buddypress template files that we overwrite from where it’s generated the buddypress subnav menu

wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php

The naviagtion comes though that function and it belongs to the buddypress.

If you will need to override the cover-images-header.php justs copy it to child theme in the same path, example : wp-content/themes/kleo-child/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php

okay, so whenever i navigate to this link “wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php”
by typing this in the url “www.mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php.

it says server error.
am i navigating to it the correct way?

Hi,

You cannot navigate to these files via the address bar in the browser. To copy, move or edit the file you should connect over SFTP / FTP or via your hosts file browser.

If you know your SFTP / FTP details you can download filezilla to connect to your website and copy / move the files described above.

If you do not know your SFTP / FTP details or you do not know if your host has an online file browser you will need to contact your host directly.

Thanks,

Kieran.

My host won’t support ftp and doesn’t have online editor.. i need to customize my registration page and the profile navigation tabs.. any help?

[omar_szn]

and is there a way to download my there that is ALREADY on the website and active to edit it and then re-upload it again? or can i replace ONE single page by uploading it to wordpress?

[Radu]

Hi,

There is no reliable way without FTP editing, there will need to install the child theme and to copy some templates from parent ( wp-content/themes/kleo/ ) to child theme ( wp-content/themes/kleo-child/ )

IF you don’t have access to the FTP how you download and re-upload the files ?! Using the same process you can follow this procedure : https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/buddypress-profile-3/#post-193357

They are generated automatically by the buddypress i’ve told you the files path trought they are generated.

You can ask that on the buddypress forum support , here’s talked about this : https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav/
