You can use the 2nd method with Twenty Eleven theme. Here’s a walkthrough for the child theme. You’ll find Step 3 using 2nd method on page 2 and some style tweaks on page 3.

7 tables are created in DB as listed above.

The link above leads to page with requires username and password.

Could very well be some missing closing or extra one. Which of the two methods did you use for Step 3? Changing 16 BP template files or using header-buddypress.php etc?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Check out the images I posted on this page after Postlude https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/3/

Those are the basic adjustments added in stylesheet which you can further adjust to taste.

You’d want to check out BuddyPress Multisite – http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Check how to – Forums for Groups (internal bbPress) – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

@marcycapron you’re welcome. glad it worked out for you

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
`define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`
see https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Note that there’s only one instance of BuddyPress for a whole multisite install. So if you enable multiblog, what shows up in yoursite.com/members is the same that shows up in e.g. subdomain.yoursite.com/members

Marking this as resolved then

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

They look different because you’re looking at 2 different instances of bbPress. You’ve installed the Sitewide Forums (aka bbPress 2.0+, the plugin) while that Mingle theme shows the Group Forums (aka internal bbPress). See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Some of your questions are answered in BP Codex

If you’re using an older BP theme or bp-default child theme, check out section on Theme Information on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

@funkisockmunki if you change to bp-default theme and clear cache, does the problem persist or is it corrected?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

I’ve added some screenshots at the bottom of the tutorial https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/3/ so you could see how to see how the basic set up turned out.

– Do not disable the bp.css in the compatibility process.
– Did you add the styles suggested on page 3 of the tutorial to your child theme’s style.css file?
– Site URL would help us to see what’s going on.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

That’s already happening in BuddyPress trunk version In the meantime, you might want to try this out – http://www.michaelkuhlmann.com/tutorials/customizing-admin-bar/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Great. Marking this as resolved

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Site URL?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Sure, BP does work with Twenty Eleven and BP Template Pack. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

You said it, something went awry in your theme’s functions.php when you updated/revised it. Revert to previous/original version of theme’s functions.php

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Simplest way: On lines 38 and 42 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/blogs-loop.php try changing
“
to
`/blog`

So if you’re using a bp-default child theme, create a folder named blogs and copy over blogs-loop.php over from bp-default theme and make the changes. If you used BP template pack plugin, open up the file in blogs folder transferred to your WP theme.
