BuddyPress.org

Something like this –
Sorry, your are not currently logged in. You may do so here ..

then add styling in stylesheet e.g.
p.not-logged-in {
color: #000066;
font-weight: bold;
}

Adjust to taste.

Sure. BuddyPress activated on 2 separate WP installations with 2 separate databases is cool. You can only be limited by your server/hosting plan – bandwith, memory, etc.

Good call. Looking forward to your successful report here 🙂

Might I add that if you’re planning to allow your users to create blogs, go multisite (create a network) first before installing BuddyPress.

=== but other than my main blog, brand new install? === It all depends on a variety of factors which include what your realistic expectations about adding BuddyPress are. I don’t know what your current site/blog is all about so only you can determine if social networking will enhance your current site’s branding or if […]

Go multisite (create a network) and install BuddyPress if you want to allow your users to create a blog/site of their own in your installation. Otherwise, do not create a network, stay single WP installation.

bp-default is running XHTML 1.0 Transitional and therein lies the big difference. I’ve got my custom bp-default child theme (BP 1.2.8) passing validation, no errors. In addition, http://testbp.org, BuddyPress’ demo site using bp-default theme (BP 1.3 trunk) has only 2 errors on Activity Stream because of html5 element “role” which is not…[Read more]

=== just want to find a good theme that i wont have to edit soo much. ===

Check out http://www.arrastheme.com/forums/ for tips on how to make theme compatible with BuddyPress. Changes mainly on HTML and style.css. It’s not soooo much 🙂

Yes,

This is not a BuddyPress issue and better addressed at WordPress.org forums – https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks

1. Themes Current gallery/media plugins (free and paid) compatible with BuddyPress use the bp-default theme structure. So either you create a custom theme that’s a child theme of bp-default theme or be prepared to customize any other WP theme or custom BuddyPress theme to work with the gallery plugin’s. 2. Image storage Images are physically […]

== HOWEVER, in the version of BuddyPress running on our site (version 1.2.5.2) I can’t find any directories named bp-members/ at all! Have I gone mad? Has it been moved somewhere else? == /bp-members/bp-members-signup.php is one file of the very new BuddyPress Members component. Therefore the folder is not even in BP 1.2.8 and only […]

Backup first before attempting changes – and no guarantees it will be easy
BuddyPress 1.2.8 only contains a few changes all…

Thank you Google Translate 🙂 Hola. BP 1.2.8 es compatible con WP 3.1, así que espero que el WP 3.0.1 informados de arriba es sólo un error tipográfico. Antes de deshabilitar “Mensajería privada”, es posible que desee comprobar si los errores desaparecen si cambia el tema a bp-default y desactivar todos los plugins excepto BuddyPress. […]
