Customizing The PayPal Pro Registration Page

I need to customize the PayPal Pro Registration Page:
[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="0" ccaps="" desc="Signup now, it's Free!" custom="manikaofficialmusic.com" tp="0" tt="D" captcha="clean" /]

Not only do I need to modify the css (I can do most of that) in my themes CSS Stylesheet, I need to change the wording of this forms content. How do I do that without changing the Plugin’s code. It would be lost in the event of an upgrade.

I have moved a copy of the paypal-registration-form.php into my themes file, however, I am confused. Is this meant to be a “Template” ??? How do I use this now???

It would be real nice to have a video tutorial on this topic.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Just to note. The registration form you see here is powered by BuddyPress together with s2Member®. So if you want something just like this, you could install BuddyPress together with s2Member®. These two applications work very well together.

Exactly. Please see this FAQ entry for details about this.

After moving the template file from s2Member Pro’s template directory (/s2member-pro/includes/templates/), to your working theme’s directory (/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/, replacing “yourtheme” with your currently activated theme’s direcotry), s2Member will now use the file within your theme’s directory, rather than the file that it defaults to within s2Member’s templates file.

Because this file is now outside of s2Member’s directory, you should now be able to edit the template directly, with your favorite text editor. This new file will not be overridden when s2Member updates, which would happen when editing the file directly.

Now that you can edit this template, you can change things about the layout of the form, and labels directly.

For example, s2Member writes the label Username at line 69 of paypal-checkout-form.php:

<span><?php echo _x ("Username ( lowercase letters and/or numbers )", "s2member-front", "s2member"); ?> *</span><br />

To change “Username” to “Nicename”, you would change the above line to:

<span><?php echo _x ("Nicename ( lowercase letters and/or numbers )", "s2member-front", "s2member"); ?> *</span><br />

If you’d like to have multiple templates for your Pro Forms, you can copy and rename the template file and make multiple copies within your theme’s directory. Then, you can use the template=”” attribute in your Pro Form shortcodes to specify which template any particular Pro Form should use.
