@b1gft If that slider by aesthetic can be added via widget area – check out http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

You will need a BP plugin for the image gallery and a BP plugin to insert the banner image/s of choice like this per member.

For the image gallery:
1. Free – BP Album/Media
2. Premium – BP Gallery by BuddyDev.com

For the banner image/s of user – no plugin available at this time. Check out @sbrajesh – Buddydev.com http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-custom-background-for-user-profile/ which you could adapt to upload image/banner to the hook available before member header in template

== every single table in my database says pressfix ==

BuddyPress did not add any pressfix in front of your table names. Check your wp-config.php file to see what prefix you added to your tables. BP creates _bp_ tables in your database. It also adds BP options in wp_options table https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

@babray add to the equation that Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@oaklawn “I really need people to be able to post anonymously. … I would like to have people post without a display name “

Where? In posts? In blog post comments? In Group or Sitewide Forums? It can be done, you just need to delete the instances where username is shown in different templates of the different components.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at

@starprintbrokers Salutation is supposed to be a BuddyPress-ready theme, therefore you do not need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin nor go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. If you did, deactivate Salutation and delete the theme, then re-upload a clean copy of the Salutation theme but do not activate it yet.

Change to bp-default theme, then go to BuddyPress > Pages. For each component that does not have a Page yet, e.g. Activity Streams does not have “Activity” page across, click on “New Page” button and the Page will be created. Do the same for the remaining components in the section. You associate each page to each component and click “Save All” button at the bottom of the section.

Check that each BP component page is working. Then and only then do you change to Salutation theme. Btw, do confirm with theme author if Salutation has been upgraded to work with current BuddyPress version.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

This is because BuddyPress is not yet “aware” that they’re there until they log in, assuming BuddyPress is a recently activated plugin.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

See https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ at “Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity): …”

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Go to Settings > Permalinks and set permalinks to other than default permalink. Then go again to BuddyPress > Pages and Re-Save the settings, assuming you’ve already assigned Pages to respective components.

== Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database ==

@roclimb BuddyPress creates tables in database and does not overwrite WP DB tables..

Just deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins from wp-admin. If you cannot access your wp-admin, rename buddypress plugin folder via FTP/sFTP or control panel in server. See also https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@stealthology post also at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@elangley Thank you. We’re aware of the issue.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@jloc14 using FTP/SFTP or your control panel – rename the following folders in your server:
– from wp-content/plugins/buddypress to wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xx
– from wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack to wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack-xx

You can access your wp-admin by now.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@jakeyboy1989 from your WP forums post as well – If you just want to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, you don’t need to create a multisite installation.

Install and activate the BP Template Pack Plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Then post back here if you require further assistance.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@strek-break you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Go to the specific Group’s page > Admin > Members and click on Promote to Mod button.

== When the Forum page is activated, it does not show automatically on the site menu ==

If you’re using the custom menu in Appearance > Menu, then you’d have to add the link to the new Forum page to your custom menu.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Which forum – the Group Forums or the Sitewide Forums?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the TOP, above all code contained within, add this
`

`

Then at the BOTTOM of sidebar-buddypress.php, below all other code, add this:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/envision/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are in

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your peekaboo theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your envision theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<div class="middle” id=”ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_right’;
elseif ( get_post_meta($post->ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==2 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
elseif ( get_option(PREFIX.’_sidebar_position’)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
else echo ‘sidebar_right’; ?>”>

`

Save file.

@hnla thank you

@strek-break will post in a little while.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

== Getting Started’-type issues ==
@tilley46 check out BuddyPress Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

== How do I create a standard Home Page for my BP site ==
What’s a standard home page for you? The list of blog posts like it is with bp-default theme, Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven themes? If you want a static front page, do the same thing as you would do for a regular WordPress theme.

== I don’t see anywhere for new users to register new profiles’, etc ==
Basic WordPress, go to Settings > General and allow registration.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@kristopherlouie You didn’t implement the revisions I posted above since I don’t see the following in the source code at all
`

<article id="post-” >

`
and the corresponding closing divs/article with get_sidebar

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@djsinternet The adminbar.css is enqueued via wp_head –> “
and the bp-core-buddypress markup is loaded via wp_footer.

If you want to remove buddybar.css, add this to `bp-custom.php` or your theme’s `functions.php` file
`// remove admin bar style
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘djsinternet_remove_adminbar_css’ );
function djsinternet_remove_adminbar_css() {
wp_dequeue_style ( ‘bp-admin-bar’);
wp_dequeue_style ( ‘bp-admin-bar-rtl’);
}`

Note that when you dequeue buddybar.css, all the adminbar links will be unstyled at the bottom of the webpage unless you upload your own adminbar stylesheet
