Matt started the forum topic Use 'member-header.php' code in non-Buddypress template file? in the group Creating & Extending 13 years, 2 months ago

Hi, I’m using Buddypress and the WPMU Q&A plugin.

The Q&A plugin has a template file called ‘archive-question.php’ which shows a list of questions. Buddypress has a file called ‘member-header.php’ that […]
Matt started the forum topic Show template paths for debugging purposes? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 2 months ago

Hi, does anyone know of a way to show the paths to the template files being used by Buddypress (like you can in Magento)? I’m creating a child theme of the default Buddypress theme and I’m often struggling to identify what file […]
Matt replied to the forum topic Using Buddypress template functions in non-Buddypress template files? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 3 months ago

Thanks for the reply Paul.

Do you know how can I go about telling a non-BP template page that I want it to display a BP user’s data?

Basically, I’ve copied the code from ‘members/single/home.php’ into a non-BP template […]
Matt started the forum topic Using Buddypress template functions in non-Buddypress template files? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 3 months ago

I’m trying to display some user data on a non-Buddypress template file, but I can’t get it working.

How can I use BP functions such as bp_displayed_user_username() on non-BP pages, or do I need to find the standard WP equivalents? […]
Matt started the forum topic 'Friends' activity page? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 3 months ago

Hi, I wonder if someone could explain what the ‘friends’ activity page is supposed to show.

You’d think it would show all the activity of my ‘friends’, but it seems to show exactly the same information as the ‘personal’ […]
Matt posted on the forum topic What's the best way to edit/override core functions? in the group Creating & Extending 13 years, 4 months ago

Hi Brajesh, thanks for the reply.

I think I understand what you mean – I remember reading something before on changing the output of action/filter. I’ll look into it a bit more.
Matt started the forum topic What's the best way to edit/override core functions? in the group Creating & Extending 13 years, 4 months ago

I’d like to edit or override some core buddypress functions, for example, ‘bp_get_page_title()’.

I don’t want to edit the core files directly, so I’ve set up a child theme. Can I copy the function from the file ‘bp-core-templatetags.php’ […]
Matt posted on the forum topic Could Buddypress power a Q&A site? in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 5 months ago

Thanks for the info @LPH2005. I’ve checked out the Q&A plugin from WPMU Dev and it looks great! It says on the site that it works perfectly with Buddypress, but I need to find out what that actually means? The main thing is that I need people to be able to follow each other like on […]
Matt posted on the forum topic Activating Buddypress returns 'HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)' in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 5 months ago

Another hosting company I’ve heard are quite good is Site5 – does anyone know what they’re like?

Interesting. I’m with Fasthosts and while they’re fine for most everything what you get is what you get, so I can’t change the memory allocation.

I’m actually thinking of switching to Media Temple – anyone know if Buddypress works on their Grid-Service?
Matt posted on the forum topic Activating Buddypress returns 'HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)' in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 5 months ago

I’ve just done a new clean install of everything (WP, DB, Buddypress) and the same thing has happened again. I thought it might be because I’d not changed my permalink setting to anything other than the default, but clearly not. I guess it’s this memory issue which is strange because it’s never been a problem […]

Here’s one of the error messages (I’ve removed IP addresses and paths): FastCGI: server “/var/www/fcgi/php-cgi” stderr: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in //wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 1474 It looks like Buddypress is trying to use more than 32MB, which is the amount…[Read more]
Matt started the forum topic Activating Buddypress returns 'HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)' in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 5 months ago

I’ve just set up a clean install of WP on a subdomain of my main domain to test Buddypress. After installing it and clicking ‘Activate’ I got the error ‘HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)’. I now can’t access the Admin part of the site at all, but I can access the front-end. Could it […]

Matt started the forum topic Could Buddypress power a Q&A site? in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 5 months ago

I’m looking to set up something similar to Quora and wondered whether Buddypress would be suited to this? What I’m after are the social features of Buddypress (such as follow/connections), plus Q&A features so users can ask and answer questions and also vote on the best ones. So far I’ve found plugins that do the […]
