You will have to add the code in functions.php, replace all the main navigation links in header.php with the call to nav_menu; and then create your custom menu in dashboard Appearance > Menu
Btw, come BP 1.5, the bp-default theme will have it’s own custom menu so you won’t have to go through all the steps in tutorial.
#1 – see JJJ’s profile page on testbp.org http://testbp.org/members/johnjamesjacoby/profile/
By default, data entered by members in their profile fields are turned into links ala tags. So on that page, when you click on the USA link, a page will be generated to show all members who have entered USA in Country field.
On your end, you could just create your own links in sidebar or elsewhere like
`Rock and Roll`
`Swing`
of course replacing yoursite.com with your own domain name and replacing Rock and Roll with any text you want to match up.
== i want how to disable login form ==
I don’t see the login form on the page you linked to. Looks like you resolved this on your own.
== i got database error most ofthe time ===
What are those errors? Different solutions for different errors. Check out some troubleshooting tips accumulated so far https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/
I just clicked on the red “Get Started” button and it did direct me to the /register page, albeit an unstyled one … looks like you’ve missed some steps in the BP template pack compatibility process.
No, you should not be editing files at plugins/bp-template-pack/. During the BP Compatibility process, 6 folders with BP template files were transferred to your active WP theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration folders.
– Download above-mentioned folders from your WP theme folder in server into your computer.
– Make the revisions in the files specified in Step Three https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
– Upload revised files to server.
– Done.
` which are supposed to wrap around the widgets. If you need further assistance, open up you active theme’s page.php, copy all therein, then paste to pastebin.com, click submit, then copy the generated URL and post here.
@Mike84 that is really strange. Curious, what WP theme are you using?
== I’ve tested by editing mytheme/members/index.php and changing the container div to something completely off, so as to see it in firebug. But, upon viewing mysite.com/members, i still see the content and padder divs. ==
– Do you have any cache plugin on? Deactivate it.
– Where do you edit the BP template files – download to computer and edit it there then upload or do you edit in cpanel (and might have forgotten to save revision)?
== Therefore making it impossible for me to edit the permissions which are currently set to 644? ==
You own those files. I have no problem changing permissions in my server. Are you on Windows server?
@wendymerritt first thing I do when something is not kosher with install is to change to bp-default theme and deactivate all BP plugins except BuddyPress. Either theme or plugin is interfering with group creation.
== if BuddyPress can be easily integrated into an existing membership site community of over 100 people ==
Curious since you mentioned Joomla, is your current installation a Joomla site with WordPress integrated for the blogging portion? Or are you referring to a WordPress install with 100 users? If it’s a WP install, then BP addition is not going to be a problem. The WP user would be recognized when he/she next logs in.
@TammyM Should show up in dashboard menu Appearance > BP Compatibility if both BuddyPress and BP Template Pack plugins are activated. What versions of BP and template pack plugins are you using?
