== I am using the BP default theme ==
You do not need BP Template Pack plugin nor do you need to download/upload any folders if you’re using the bp-default theme. So …
– First, deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin
– Second, deactivate BuddyPress, delete BuddyPress, then install it again. This is to make sure that you have clean installation.
Great. Thanks for posting the plugin that works in your installation. Cheers.
@bryceburk Actually, if you don’t need social networking, you can do this in WordPress alone. You can use custom post types or categories for countries and states and those are searchable. Users can add posts or custom post types from wp-admin or from front end via
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/screenshots/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-post-widget/screenshots/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-from-site/screenshots/
If you want to use BuddyPress – there’s http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ where you can created different forms which you can configure to contain what you need. Needs PHP and HTML/CSS skillsets for this though.
There’s also the premium Gravity Forms plugin which can work for both WP and BP.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
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 files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/yourcustomthemefolder/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ – and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
@kristopherlouie You’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your custom theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` and move it above `
Save files.
== how do you get that field to upload into that users profile? ==
Profile fields show up in member’s profile page by default. What else do you mean by upload into users profile?
@kristopherlouie before I do anything, you have a closing “ at the beginning and ending of your footer.php file – not kosher. Please confirm if issue is corrected with the removal of “ at the top of the footer.php file.
I see. Have you tried https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-external-links/
== I can’t found where can i edit: Log in to Reply ==
@helpme2012 what exactly do you want to do with “Log in to Reply” – revise it or remove it?
== … custom theme. Up until recently I also had Orbit-slider ==
I would suggest contact theme author especially if it’s a premium theme.
Which forum content – Group Forums (internal bbPress for BP) or the Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)?
Open up your custom theme’s header.php, copy all, paste all at pastebin.com, click submit, post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php. and we’ll take a look at it.
@wewetho I see organizational structures, slide presentations and the like. You’re missing an online donation page (or did I miss that?). Curious: Where is the main HQ of ESF located? Telephone number/s? Who or what companies sponsor this organization? Good luck.
WordPres/BuddyPress versions? I recall that issue was already resolved.
What theme are you using? Have you changed to bp-default theme? If that doesn’t work – Site URL? Do you have throw-away test user username and password?
– “neosolcafe.com/community” – That link goes nowhere.
– “activity stream redirects users off the site to view the links.” – you mean you have spammers posting off-site links in status updates?
== In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin ==
@jloc14 to clarify, when you update BuddyPress plugin to BP 1.5+, you have to go through the installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ As you can see, you do not move any page at all nor have to use Filezilla
== the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. ==
Which most probably means that you are referring to BuddyPress Template Pack plugin instead. What WordPress theme are you making compatible with BuddyPress? We have “template-packed” some WP themes already, check if your theme is in the list – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
Before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
1. Create a network
2. Decide now where you want BuddyPress to run primarily on. If BP is going to run subsite (subdirectory or subdomain site) then find the blog_id number of that subsite and add the following to your new bp-custom.php file. e.g. blog id = 2
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`
If you want BP in main site, do nothing, that’s the default BP “home”
3. Install BuddyPress and activate. Go through Installation Wizard.
4. Use BP theme in main site or subsite per #2 above.
@indieconnect basically it means that there are no Group Forums tables created in your database. Check root of your install for a bb-config.php file. If there is one, double-check if the DB information there is the same as the DB info in your wp-config.php file. If DB is the same go again to BuddyPress > Forums and Install Group Forums.
We support 2 kinds of bbPress forums – Group Forums (BP internal bbPress) and Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
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 files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/smpl/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
@aprioristic You got it right, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your SMPL theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with
`<?php
get_header();
global $woo_options;
?>
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` and move it above `
Save files.
That’s do-able for sure.
@aprioristic you need to add some more markups at the top and bottom of the files. Will take a look at it now and post the tweaks needed later.
@mrguythornton you can mark this issue resolved yourself – click on Edit Topic link under the Topic Title and add [Resolved] before the topic.
@jloc14 first of all, what template files were you moving? Remember that you need to strictly follow the directory structure of the BP template files within your theme folder. For example, you cannot move /members/single/activity/permalink.php to /members/single/permalink.php nor to groups/permalink.php
