@tank2012 did you install and activate BP Template Pack plugin first to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility to finish?

Did you follow the instructions above?

If you already did so, post site URI so we could see what’s not working with your theme and BP template files.

== I set up a membership setup page with custom fields? ==
Is this via a plugin or did you mean the fields you added in BuddyPress > Profile Fields?

What do you mean by “none of the info she input in the fields is available”? Doesn’t show up when you open up her profile page? What theme are you using?

BP/WP versions? What theme are you using? What plugins are activated in your installation?

== how I can change the wording of the items in the buddybar? ==

Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

If you’re using child theme of bp-default theme https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@gospelcast Curious why groups link is going to the webhost’s error page. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Also.check dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages if your Groups is associated with a Page selected then click save.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@gospelcast let’s take it back to your post

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Change to bp-default theme. If BP is installed in main site and assuming you didn’t change the groups slug, go to http://yoursite.com/groups/ and you’ll get to the Groups Directory page. Beside the page title “Groups Directory”, you’ll find the “Create Group” Button. Edit – or just go to http://yoursite.com/groups/create/

1. Alternative to BP Album –> BP Gallery plugin, a premium plugin, handles images, audio and video for individual and group galleries.

2. Set group forums as default homepage for groups –> http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44863/whats-the-easiest-way-to-change-the-default-landing-page-for-buddypress-groups

@bjkitchin @gbennyb

Some basic information for multiple BuddyPress sites in one WP installation.

1. Install WordPress

2. Create a Network of your WP installation

3. Install/activate BuddyPress plugin
– BuddyPress is activated by default for the whole network. So by the same token, there is only one instance of BuddyPress for the whole network.

4. Make your BuddyPress “multisite” (separate instances of BP in one WP installation)

a. BP Multi-Network plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
– Requires either free https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/
or the premium http://wpebooks.com/networks/
– In effect, you need to create networks out of each subsite of your original network,
then install the BuddyPress Multi-Network plugin to have separate BP installations in each
“sub-network” … you get what I mean

OR

b. BuddyPress Multi-Network plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
– simply, separate BP site for each WP subsite. You should check this out

Best people to ask about the WP/BP Multi-Network plugins above are the plugin developers ;-p

Is this in relation to this topic https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/php-redirect-issue/ ?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@fmeroney you marked this thread as resolved but you’re basically asking the same thing in this topic https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/html-in-button-fields/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

The profile labels and data are rendered in table rows. You could copy over the profile-loop.php file to your child theme folder /themes/childtheme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php and change the table/rows/columns into divs/spans etc.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

== now my notification in the wp admin bar are not working ==

How is it not working? WP/BP versions? Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and/or deactivating plugins except BuddyPress?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

At this time, changes have been made to include support for upcoming WP 3.4. which is not kosher with your current WP 3.3.1 install

In the meantime, you can already make the change to include Edit link in admin bar within your /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php file – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5958

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Cool

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@bigjosh change to bp-default theme, then go to that group which was spelled incorrectly, and click Admin tab to edit name of group

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@fmeroney as chrisclayton mentioned above, surround code with backticks ( ` ) the symbol between the parentheses

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

closing this. see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/php-redirect-issue/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

== I mistakenly typed “enginner” instead of “engineer” can some please tell me how to correct the error? ==

@bigjosh Go to that specific group’s page http://www.yoursite.com/groups/enginner/ then click on Admin link which defaults to edit > group’s name/description

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@roguedjinni reminder on the final note to copy modifications in your stylesheet per my post above so layout will look better.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@roguedjinni Thank you. But I just checked out your site and we need to make adjustments by deleting `

` in header-buddypress.php and a closing `

` at the top of the sidebar-buddypress.php. Save files and re-upload to server. I’ve updated the codes above for the both deletions.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php file

Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php and 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();
});
});

?

`

That messy text inside `

` and closing `

` is `& # 9 6 18 ;` – remove spaces between numbers and character

Save file.

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

Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements at 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]

As agreed to above, we will create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your WP theme compatible with BP

IF you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your fullscreen theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your evolution 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 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="box-center pgsize2 “>

<?php
/* Title page */
$queried_object = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
if ( $queried_object->ID == get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) ) {
$current_id = get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ );
} else {
$current_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
}
$page_hide_box = get_post_meta( $current_id, ‘page_hide_box’ );
$page_hide_box = trim($page_hide_box);
if($page_hide_box != ‘yes’){
print ‘

‘;
}
?>

<?php
$page_hide_title = get_post_meta( $current_id, ‘page_hide_title’ );
$page_hide_title = trim($page_hide_title);
$page_alternative_title = get_post_meta( $current_id, ‘page_alternative_title’ );
$page_alternative_title = trim($page_alternative_title);
if($page_hide_title != ‘yes’){
echo ‘

‘; the_title(); echo ‘

‘;
} else if($page_alternative_title != ”){
echo ‘

‘.$page_alternative_title.’

‘;
} else {
echo ‘

‘;
}
?>

`

Save file.
