Hi there,
I am using the Buddypress Followers plugin. From the plugin’s github page (https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/wiki/Add-a-follow-button-on-a-regular-WP-page) they mentioned of a code snippet that can be used to add the follow button to a regular WP page. Below is the code snippet:
<?php
if ( function_exists( ‘bp_follow_add_follow_button’ ) ) :
if ( bp_loggedin_user_id() && bp_loggedin_user_id() != get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) {
bp_follow_add_follow_button( array(
‘leader_id’ => get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ),
‘follower_id’ => bp_loggedin_user_id()
) );
}
endif;
?>Is there a way to add the follow button using the above code snippet? Please see below screen shots of specific areas in the the Single Post page where I would want the Follow Button to appear.
Thanks!
Dennis

Hi @themodactyl,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Is there a way to specify where in the theme I can make this code snippet work? For example, make the Follow Button appear on the place I highlighted in the screen shots I attached?
Best,
Dennis
Hi @dennisjover,
To change this feature to your website, the best practice is to create your own child theme and override the template.
For more about creating child themes, please read the following post:
If you have never done this before, we recommend you to require the services from a nearby web developer or from Envato Studio freelancers (https://studio.envato.com/explore/websites-programming). This web platform gives you access to developers who have already experience with theme customizations, and for very competitive prices.
Best regards,
