I am not very happy with the fact that bp-default is going to be a past, I like that theme

@4ella I understand where you’re coming from. I have 7 customized bp-default child themes to convert 🙁 It was good while it lasted.

As for a WordPress theme to use, seeing that you are a do-it-yourself themer, I would recommend creating a child theme of…[Read more]

@somdefabrica Hard to tell without any other info than what was posted above. WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Where are you hosted? Is your internet/WiFi connection fast?

@hajhaj Unfortunately, we have no access to the premium theme. Please post in theme author’s site for assistance as the person would most likely know easily how to make the layout change.

@yoyoma1974 Glad to know that the tutorial helped you 🙂 Marking this as resolved.

@hajhaj there are different ways to implement a new layout for all BuddyPress pages. Check out how it was done for the WP default themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/

@craigola Do you mean you want to set up different account types and that one kind is that for children? If so, have you checked out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

@4ella since you’re using the BP Default theme, please be aware of http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/

Going back to the issue at hand, your main navigation links are showing up that way because of the responsive style included in the BP Default theme:

Per their installation video and the directions I have gleaned from this Support site,

@petdailypress I don’t know about the theme author’s installation video as we have no access to that. What you just need to do is to install and activate BuddyPress and then configure the components, pages and settings.

I cannot get the Registration page to work…

@pmuktan Nearly all WordPress themes are compatible with BuddyPress. You just need to activate BuddyPress, then configure the BP Components/Pages/Settings. We don’t have access to the premium themes, but if Themeshift has the_title and the_content within the WP loop in its page.php file, then you should be good to go.

@titoniko sorry, there’s no outright option to publish each comment on the activity stream to twitter at this time. You’d either have to code it yourself, hire a developer to do so or wait for someone to create a plugin that does what you want.

@pmuktan for importing your Mingle Forums to bbPress Forums (which BuddyPress uses), check out how to do so at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/

You’d find support for Mingle importer at https://bbpress.org/forums/
Log in using WP username and password. Good luck.

@yoyoma1974 what theme specifically are you trying to make compatible with BP? Hard to guess why you can’t make the changes using CSS or some functions in a child theme, etc.

We have some new articles with regards to making sidebar appear/disappear at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/ like…[Read more]

Should I try to create a BP child theme? That is, copy default and save with different name within plugin folder?

@gparrott The bad news: “In BuddyPress 1.9, we begin the process of phasing out the BuddyPress Default theme” per http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/ So I strongly recommend for future…[Read more]

@barryb64 As @synaptic mentioned above, the labsecrets.com video is outdated. Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@drgiz upcoming BP 1.9 now includes a BP log in widget. If you’re just starting to develop a new site, check it out at buddypress.1.9-beta1.zip.
