(I am a college student and can not afford a developer at the moment), 🙂
And I just want this website to be clean simple and to the point. How would I go about using a pre-existing theme (such as a blog, or photography theme), to have users showcase their photos, their “blog-style-posts”, and other media on their profile in a format where it looks like this https://demo.mekshq.com/?theme=pinhole&landing=3 ? I’m just confused on what needs to be done, would i have to enable multisite? Would users be able to follow each other and see their friends content in their activity stream? Does Multi site take a specific type of theme and would their still be a “home-page” of the site?
– Very grateful for your help! This project will help me to start off 2018 in an exciting way. God bless!
I truly do thank-you for all of this! It’s pointing me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish. I feel like I just need a better understanding of the infrastructure of WordPress, and how BuddyPress works together with it. And you are right, there are endless amounts of options!I’m just stuck on how i would customize the X theme to how i would want it. I would rather do all of this in the beginning by myself, and hire a developer if need be down the road.
– If the plugin conflicts with the theme how would one go about fixing that?
– How would I begin to customize the CSS of the activity streams for users? Where would most of this customizing be taking place? In other words, how would I add the custom CSS to the site?
I’m glad you were the one to answer this question for me, it seems like you’ve been around the block once or twice. This is great information to freshen up on! And a lot of this stuff is overwhelming, but that’s alright (to an extent). It just takes practice.
How long would it take to develop a theme like the one I described?
And I hope you start off 2018 in a great way, thanks for all of the gold.
Thank you for the reassurance! I’m glad to hear all of that. Is there any tutorials or pages you recommend for the breakdown of BuddyPress and CSS / Template files? And I’ve been looking into coding my own theme, looks promising. Would X theme be a good choice for me so I can customize the way everything looks in their root files?
