Using custom templates
In v1.2, you can override the template that comes with the plugin by copying /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-followers/_inc/templates/buddypress/ to your WordPress theme.
So, for example, if I have a WP theme called Child Theme located at:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/.
I would copy:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-followers/_inc/templates/buddypress/
to:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/
Next, open the following template file in your favorite editor or IDE:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/follow.php
And make whatever changes you need to make.
Please keep in mind that you should not change the ID or CSS classes in the #members-dir-list DIV for AJAX purposes.
v1.2 changed the templating system so you no longer have to add full templates to your theme.
For example, the old templates used to use get_header() and get_footer():
https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/blob/1.1.x/_inc/templates/members/single/following.php
The new templates are a template part:
If you already using custom templates from v1.1 and lower, BP Follow will still respect these templates, but to take advantage of the new AJAX feature in v1.2, you'll need to remove these older templates and use the new method listed above.
To use the new templates, first remove the older templates:
- /wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/members/single/following.php
- /wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/members/single/followers.php
Then, follow the method listed in the "v1.2" section above.
