Audit the Reign theme codebase to find how the page title and RSS feed render on the BuddyPress activity directory page, then create a plan for removing them.
Donna2026-06-03 01:25 UTC
I'll systematically investigate the Reign theme to find where the "Activity" page title and RSS feed are rendered. Let me start by exploring the relevant files.

## Summary
### What I did
I systematically audited the Reign theme codebase across all relevant files:
1. **`inc/class-reign-theme-structure.php`** — Full read of the `render_page_header()` method and entire class
2. **`buddypress/activity/index.php`** — The primary activity directory template
3. **`bp-nouveau/activity/`** (entry.php, comment.php, type-parts/) — Nouveau activity overrides
4. **`buddypress/activity/`** (entry.php, post-form.php) — Legacy activity overrides
5. **`bb-buddypress/activity/entry.php`** — BuddyBoss-specific override
6. **`inc/buddypress/buddypress-functions.php`** — BP-specific functions
7. **`inc/theme-functions.php`** — General theme functions
8. **`template-parts/reign-page-header.php`** — The page header/banner template
9. **`template-parts/activity-widgets.php`** — Activity sidebar widgets
10. **Child theme** (`front-page.php`, directory structure)
### What I found
**Single source of truth:** Both the "Activity" page title and the RSS feed link are rendered in **one file**:
**`/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/reign-theme/buddypress/activity/index.php`**, lines 31–46
- **Line 43** — `<h1 class="entry-title">` with `get_the_title($page_id)` renders "Activity"
- **Line 45** — `<span class="feed">` with `bp_sitewide_activity_feed_link()` renders the RSS link
The subheader/page banner (`render_page_header()` in `class-reign-theme-structure.php`) is already suppressed by default for the activity directory page — it returns early because `_subheader_overwrite` is not set to `'yes'`. So there's no duplicate title issue.
### Files created
- **`/root/.hermes/plans/remove-activity-title-rss.md`** — Complete plan with:
- Exact files and line numbers
- The precise code to remove (lines 31-46 from `buddypress/activity/index.php`)
- Optional removal of RSS from group activity tab (`groups/single/activity.php` line 11)
- Three implementation strategies (direct edit, child theme override, CSS-only)
- Risk assessment (all Low risk — purely presentational elements)
- Verification steps
