BuddyPress.org

Coming later to the party here but there are 2 road blocks as I see causing ‘same themes’ and a dependency on bp-default: 1. Flux and before until very recently not knowing when something will change – it’s easier to rely on something like bp-default. This is far less a point now and is increasingly […]

I like the menu drop down and the way it’s reflected in the customised labelled BuddyPress buttons. I’m a sucker for little touches like that. Really nice clean layout too which wins me over from the start. Less plugins more focus on the ones you need is always good I reckon.

Would it be possible to see a link to your site? I’m initially thinking something design wise has impacted on the sign up button somehow be it scripting or displaying.

Do you mean a page you created or a BuddyPress specific one? https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ or http://bp-tricks.com/coding/string-replacement-hack-core/ may get you on the right direction if BuddyPress specific. Otherwise it’s just a case of editing the page in your WordPress admin if not a…[Read more]

I’m no server expert there probably will be a few along who can assist with the server side maximising for low bandwith. However from a front end point of view I’d strongly advise you consider the following: 1. A minimal theme in the truest sense – the less images the better, the less graphic anything.. […]

I can’t really comment on why or thinking but I was under impression it was hopefully getting in with 1.3 not 1.2.7?

The main tickets are:

I don’t have a copy sorry and notice the site is down from the author 🙁 http://bp-theme-converts.com/

Hopefully someone else will have a copy or the author’s site will be back up soon.

If you mean in blog posts / page comments you can do this using the following: ol.commentlist .bypostauthor .comment-meta{ whatever you want here } *You can also do without .comment-meta just depends on what style you want to add There is a patch coming in 1.3 I think you can see here done by @DJPaul: […]

For ratings the only one off hand I know of is one relating to forum posts (sorry): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/

I’d say thought the Achievements plugin goes above and beyond ratings and may be even better as an option: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/achievements/

My first question is would this be on your site or on this one 🙂

Do you mean how to search forum topics? You can do that using the BuddyPress search. If you mean how to find in a group you can look under the group forum.

What about this as an option? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-groupblog/ (not sure about how up to date it is as not tested myself).

What about adding a form in a widget area on the members page? A bit of a roundabout method but could work?

Love the backgrounds. Maybe also look at reflecting the site colours in the drop downs would be my suggestion.

Firefox seems to have some issues but as a rule do a check in: opera, safari, firefox, chrome and ie 7/8 – then at least you’ve got your basic bases covered.

Hmm not seeing courseware anywhere but it does look like a custom job.

http://davidtcarson.com/solo-practice-university/ tells you a bit more from the developer.

I like the left handed sidebar – nice difference. I am a bit of a sucker for a home page not direct to register myself but I understand it’s not to everyone’s taste. My initial thought was ‘oo needs custom header’ but you know what I kind of like the simplicity of having nothing but […]

I liked the header that made me smile considering the topic 🙂 A suggestion is possibly a black background or even splatter the background too that could be good.

A good start although a few things come up whilst looking at it. There are a few browser issues and I get a general feeling that’s a little cramped in it. Perhaps don’t box things in so much and use a bit more spacing on things like the sides of the panel. Content can be […]

Have you under BuddyPress > general settings – under your admin panel for WordPress turns on and configured your forum?

There are a few options open to you:
