Registration page doesn't care of page template

[SGr33n]

Hi!

If you set a page template for registration page, it will use the default one.

This doesn't happen for example with activity page, where setting a page template affect the page layout.

Thanks :)

If you set a page template for registration page, it will use the default one.

How are you setting a page template for the registration page?

You should use template hierarchy:

Hi Ray!

From the page editor.

I mean the templates identified by the header comment like this:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Full Width Page
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

I don't think BuddyPress has ever supported custom page templates:

The fact that it's working for you is a little bit of a loophole ;)

I would recommend using template hierarchy. Follow the link I mentioned above.

You're right, it just was a declaration I put inside functions.php some months ago that gave the template page a certain class.

So the solution you gave here:

Wasn't committed?

The code in ticket:4328#comment:5 wasn't committed.

imath's code in ticket:3741#comment:27 would be more applicable since that uses theme compatibility and not the old, bp-default way of loading templates.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #4328.
