BuddyPress How To Customize Activation Email
Posted on August 13th, 2010 by admin in Domain Development | 6 Comments »
I have a couple of sites now running with BuddyPress, so not a week goes by without me doing some sort of customization to make things run smoother.
A recent problem I ran into was the inflexibility of the Activation notification emails users are sent when they register a BuddyPress account on my sites.
Amongst other things that I noticed was the ugly email subject whereby BuddyPress puts your site title in square brackets [] before the message “Activate Your Account”. I really do not want to have the site title in the subject as the site title is already part of the From field in the email.
Here is how I resolved this issue. You will find that you can use the same approach to customize other email fields also.
I discovered that BuddyPress defines a filter for the notification email subject in buddypressbp-corebp-core-signup.php called bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_subject
So, in order to customize my notification email subject I added the following to my theme’s functions.php file:
function fix_bp_activation_subject($subject) {
return __( "Activate Your Account", 'buddypress' );
}
add_filter('bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_subject', 'fix_bp_activation_subject');
You can do the same for the “to” and “message” fields too as there is a filter defined for each in the same file.

Do you know to add photos and videos to buddypress?
Hi Rafael,
Do you care to clarify your problem?
BuddyPress is a plugin to WordPress so obviously if you as the admin write blog posts you can add photos and videos – regardless of buddypress.
If you want each user to add photos/videos perhaps you can enable multiple blogs? If you don’t want to do that, you’d have to do a bit more customization to be able to enable your BuddyPress users to be authors on your original blog without giving any other powers.

Hi, as you are a user of buddypress, could you tell if a shared hosting is ok or a dedicated server is needed for buddypress?
Thanks
Hi Line,
If you are just starting out, it really doesn’t matter. I would recommend you start out with shared hosting definitely and see how you go.
Buddypress is a plugin of WordPress and as such uses caching etc which improves performance greatly.
Obviously as your site grows, or if you already have a high traffic website where you want to use BuddyPress, you will benefit from better hosting.

this is good, l was looking for this and usefull. but catching for performance impressed me tho
Hi,
I tried your code in my installation (WP3.3 + BP 1.5.2) but doesn’t change anything.
My BP version doesn’t have buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php but the filter bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_subject is in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php
Many thanks
