BuddyPress.org

Here’s some more info on what @stwc‘s suggesting: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

BP doesn’t work with Kubrick out of the box. You’ll need to add the CSS classes required; have a look at the bp-default CSS files.

@medani use bp_get_member_profile_data()

@stwc You could do something like: http://buddypress.pastebin.com/5WBGMCuU

bp_user_link() is still in BP 1.2.x. You must have changed something, it wouldn’t stop working by itself…

Set this in your wp-config.php:

BuddyPress does not work with the default, out-of-the-box permalink style from WordPress (not WPMU). Full stop.

Does it work with the default theme?

Please let us know your answers to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/ — thanks.

How far do you get? Any error messages?

Initial reaction from Jeff & I is that you detail what you have in mind before you dash off in one direction etc

Yep, easy and that. And yes you need to keep the hierarchy or the sky might fall

Hi

BuddyPress is just a set of plugins for WordPress. Installing BuddyPress won’t loose any of your existing data. Of course, back up all your files and database first just in case!

What precisely are you trying to do? Style a comment if a user is in a particular group? (is that a BuddyPress Group?) If so, it’d be best to save that in the ‘commentmeta’ when the comment is saved to the database (saves a query per comment, which could get bad quickly). Let us know […]

Reading your post, I think the answer is “hire a theme developer to make it look right.” First of all, you need to get a test server (even if it’s locally on your machine) setup with a base WordPress install with your theme and then install BuddyPress and then this. There will be changes which you’ll need […]

Alternatively, go into https://codex.buddypress.org/wp-admin/ and find the Pages that way.

Child theme is the recommended way, yes.
