Modifying Buddypress Registration Page

Question

I am trying to modify the register.php page that comes with buddypress, but none of my changes are reflected on the page.

I have tried to both edit the core and upload a copy in the wordpress/wp-content/themes/(active theme)/buddypress/members/ folder named index-register.php (also tried register.php)

I have tried all the solutions I have found online, but nothing seems to work.

Update

Here is a list of the things I have tried thus far.

1. editing the core register.php file located at wp-content\\plugins\\buddypress\\bp-templates\\bp-legacy\\buddypress\\members
2. Creating a child theme and putting a register.php and/or an index-register.php file in wp-content\\themes(active theme)-child\\buddypress\\members
3. Putting a register.php and/or an index-register.php in my active theme directory as stated above.

Answer 1

I am able to modify the register.php page template by copying the original file to the following directory:

wp-content\\themes\\my-theme-name\\buddypress\\members\\register.php

It looks like you have already tried placing a register.php template file in that location, it should work for you there.
