Template Overrides

The front-end review templates can be overridden from your theme, so your customizations survive plugin updates. Do not edit files inside the plugin directory.

Templates you can override

Template	Purpose
bupr-reviews-tab-template.php	The Reviews tab on a member profile (the review list).
bupr-single-review-template.php	A single review’s markup.
bupr-edit-review-form.php	The edit-review form.

The defaults ship in includes/templates/ inside the plugin.

How overriding works

The plugin loads templates through bupr_get_template(), which resolves the path with bupr_locate_template(). The lookup order is:

1. wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress-member-review/<template>.php
2. the plugin default in includes/templates/<template>.php

So to override a template, copy it into a buddypress-member-review/ folder in your (child) theme and edit the copy.

Example

Copy:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress-member-review/includes/templates/bupr-reviews-tab-template.php

to:

wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress-member-review/bupr-reviews-tab-template.php

Clear any page cache and reload a member profile to see your version.

Filtering the resolved path

If you need to relocate templates, filter the resolved path instead of copying:

add_filter( 'bupr_locate_template', function ( $template, $template_name, $template_path, $default_path ) {
    // Return a different absolute path for a given $template_name.
    return $template;
}, 10, 4 );

Extending without overriding

Prefer the template hooks over copying a whole template when you only need to add markup:

add_action( 'bupr_before_member_review_list', function () {
    echo '<div class="my-notice">Community review guidelines apply.</div>';
} );

add_action( 'bupr_after_review_content', function ( $review_id ) {
    // Append custom markup after a review's content.
} );

Available template hooks: bupr_before_member_review_list, bupr_after_member_review_list, bupr_after_review_date ($review_id), bupr_after_review_content ($review_id), bupr_after_rating_fields, and the bupr_reviewer_name_html filter ($html, $review_id). See Hooks and Filters.

Notes

• Always escape output with esc_html(), esc_attr(), or wp_kses_post().
• Use a child theme so your overrides survive theme updates.
• The edit, reply, and report flows are AJAX-driven and require JavaScript.
