Editing Profile Templates on BuddyPress

Today I’m working on an intranet for a client who needs a substantial amount of cusotmization done to the profile pages on their BuddyPress installation. Our customizations are going to go far beyond what could be accomplished within the dashboard, so we are going to dig deep into the core and do some manual edits, one way or another.

I say “dig deep” because BuddyPress’s template files are embedded pretty far into the directories. BuddyPress is a plugin, so we need to start by opening up our plugin directory, which is located in the wp-content folder.
