They don’t exist until you create them.

🙂 I’ll go and fish out all the codex guides that have been written on the subject of templating/themeing

Also remember you can use conditional logic to wrap the sidebar in your bp template so if you wanted the sidebar just for user account screens you could do:

`
if( bp_is_user() ) :

endif;
`

The two…[Read more]

echo echo!

That’s WP template code. Look at content-page.php. Please also read through the codex as we have provided guides to help with understanding what files will be in use when running BP theme compatibility.

Have you read through the guides in the BP codex?

Have you created a buddypress.php file to manage the page.php rendering? Theme compatibility uses the stock WP page.php file – or a series of other templates names in same manner WP performs template selection. You need to customize page.php essentially but not the themes copy but a copy of…[Read more]

Have you checked the sticky posts for guidance on info to post to help us help you and basic troubleshooting steps?

Are you using a custom thirdparty theme, if so can you activate a theme known to work i.e one of the WP default themes and see if things then start working, this way we identify the theme to be the issue- or not , and work from there.

No not a blank file, you copy over the existing file, the crucial aspect is that you retain the same folder paths to that file so members/single/index.php if found in your child theme is the one used, or in the case of that plugin you might need to us it’s templates in place of the BP ones.

If you are set on using bp-default then you probably…[Read more]

It’s going to be a matter of understanding how themes & templates work in, in that respect the BP codex is your friend, I encourage you to read as many of the pages in there relating to BP themeing.

>does this mean i can build a theme on bp-default without creating a child theme… …without it being overwritten when i update after 1.9.1

No,…[Read more]

@gfam105 Ok so most of these themes are built on bp-default, this theme is to be retired, a process begun with BP 1.9, this doesn’t mean it can’t be used and is still bundled in the core plugin for the moment, existing sites using it either directly or as a child of will still be able to work but new installs will not see the theme appear in the…[Read more]

Several of what BP themes? BuddyPress works with any well written theme following the WP template principles, as you don’t mention what themes you have tried, try activating one of the WP standard themes bundled with WP then you’ll be able to see BP in action, also please do check the BP codex documentation as you’ll find helpful guides to getting…[Read more]

You will need to contact your hosts support desk about this issue, it’s server related rather than BP.

You probably want to be using bp_core_new_nav_item() hooked to bp_setup_nav the new nav item takes an array ‘name’, ‘slug’, ‘default_subnav_slug’, ‘screen_function’, ‘position’

‘screen function’calls a function that in turn hooks a template function to ‘bp_template_content’ and bp_core_load_template() which for ease use plugin.php

Then in your…[Read more]

What’s the question? 🙂

You can do that, essentially all you need is the group permalink to hang a graphic off and dump all the rest of the groups index loop detail.

These are probably questions better asked on bbPress forum – remember although bbPress integrates with buddyPress it is a standalone plugin.

I doubt however you need to overload all the files as above.

I would strongly urge you to first have a good read through what articles we currently have in the codex to familiarise yourself with basic setup & operation:

Getting Started

Then if you have further questions post back with a full outline of your setup – check the forum stickies which tell you what information to…[Read more]

This is more a WP question, you can remove the comments by passing an empty array back to comment form in the template file, have a read of this post on WP support:

P.S. when you state you have tried something please actually say what it was you tried as…[Read more]

As an author technically you/we shouldn’t use it at all not that it’s prohibeted from use in author styles but just that in the environment of WP plugins & themes it’s a poor practise; in general author styles it should be severely limited if used at all though!

Not really getting why you need respondents to make your mind up, if you are considering releasing it into the WP theme repo then do so ( although granted there might be a certain amount of work modifying any aspects noted by the theme review team) If on the other hand you don’t then one presumes you continue to provide it as a premium theme and…[Read more]

@buddyboss
A relatively simple suggestion for 2.0 – Get rid of tables in all templates so developers can style everything for mobile without having to override templates to convert tables to lists. Notifications and Messages use tables right now and they don’t have to.

This is fundamentally a really bad notion, you do not change markup to sui…[Read more]

BP experts seem to know (or are willing to share) the answer

Firstly it isn’t really something that requires BP expertise nor is it some secret people are trying to hide from you.

CSS is coding and requires some degree of understanding if you wish to start modifying code to some degree you’ll have to leave behind that notion of being a non…[Read more]

As your title suggests best to open a trac ticket if you think you have found a bug or issue, it will get seen and dealt with there, whereas not so much so in the support form.
