In reply to: Friend Referral SystemIn reply to: Importing LJ communities to BP groups
1) You could import/export all posts and comments from LJ to WordPress site. https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#LiveJournal. Didn’t check what WP version the script was compatible with, but you can download WP versions from this page
and upgrade to later version later.
https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/Currently, there are no scripts to convert these into a BuddyPress group setting. You might have to hire someone to consult with or to implement that as well as import users automagically as BP/WP users along the way.
http://jobs.wordpress.net/#2 and #3. Haven’t seen any indication that this can be done except probably with RSS imports/exports. I suggest you clear up #1 first before moving along these questions.
In reply to: How to combine WP and BP themes= I found some article and plugin for custimizing WP theme for BP ==
That’s one way, using your WordPress theme and installing the BP Template Pack plugin to transfer BP template files (for BP component pages) plus ajax and js goodness to make your WP theme BP-compatible.
Another way is to create a child theme of the bp-default theme
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
then adjust via CSS only to change layout and colors or do more than that.In reply to: No Admin Bar or any other sign of BP on website pageNo it was my bad @hnla, in the process of editing the code that mdanista posted above because it was not showing up then wreaking havoc to the layout, I placed the wrong edit topic code and @gregfielding‘s got edited. To compound the problem, I tried to move greg’s topic and it looks like it was deleted instead. Sorry Greg!
In reply to: No Admin Bar or any other sign of BP on website pageI corrected code above with backticks. See text below the input area and just before the”Post Reply” buttom. Surround your code between backticks not apostrophe’s.
Move your “ to just before closing “
In reply to: Original index template replaced by Buddypress index== I can no longer reach the main index template from the editor as a Network Admin ==
If you mean files in child theme of bp-default theme, that has been reported

In reply to: How to call member avatarAn easier alternative would be to use the member’s loop to generate your list:
`
Featured Members
<a href="”>
`
where 2,12,46,233,365 are the user ID’s of the people you want to feature.
see https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/In reply to: BP Default Theme for BP Pages Only== Besides, having the site look different on its social networking part isn’t that bad of an idea. ==
True. It all depends on the vision for the site

In reply to: BP Default Theme for BP Pages Only=== two themes on the same wordpress install ===
If you mean use two themes for a single WP install or a single site of a WP multisite install. No. I seem to recall a plugin that was supposed to do that a long time ago, but I doubt if it had even been upgraded nor if it will work with BuddyPress.
What can be done right now is to create a child theme of bp-default then copy over the “regular” WP pages from bp-default theme into your child theme like index.php, page.php, single.php etc. and call a different header, footer, sidebar and even styling for those specific pages.
@edinchez Glad you fixed it. Perhaps you’d like to share how you resolved the issue for others who might be searching for the same kind of fix.
In reply to: Sitewide Login – AdminbarWP/BP versions? Is this a relatively new installation (2 weeks)?
Check Settings > Privacy of the Blog visited which causes the log out behavior. If you added the “More Privacy Options plugin” or “Network Privacy plugin” the blog might have been set for “Registered users only” etc. which would require log in, hence the forced log-out with wp-login.php.
Have you tried to disable all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme to check whether conflicts in plugin/theme is causing this error?
In reply to: “change avatar” broken on buddypress.org@johnjamesjacoby is in the process of upgrading this site. Thank you for your patience.
In reply to: Tips on updating abandoned BP theme to 1.2.8@el_terko Another approach would be to create a child theme of the Hybrid Framework and install the BP Template Pack plugin where template files for the BP component pages are transferred to your child theme.
I would think that it would be easier to update the template files from BP Template Pack plugin than to upgrade the whole BP-compatible theme you have right now. In addition, this scenario would allow you to upgrade your Hybrid framewok when available without worrying about the upgrade to the BP template files until the next BP Template Pack upgrade.
In reply to: BP Default Theme for BP Pages OnlyUse a WordPress theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin where you have to change HTML structure to use your WordPress theme’s HTML structure.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/In reply to: Custom menus like this example@hmarshall site URL?
In reply to: Custom menus like this exampleYou’ve got to adjust the code based on the selectors you’ve got in your theme:
So in your style.css file within your child theme’s folder, add this after the lines already there:
`ul#nav {
border: 1px solid #625e00;
border-width: 1px 0;
background: #000066;
}ul#nav li {
display: inline;
float:none;
margin: 0px;
}ul#nav li a {
float: left;
padding: 9px 11px;
border-right: 1px solid white;
background: none;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0px;
}ul#nav li.selected a, ul#nav li.current_page_item a {
background: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
}`Again, adjust to taste.
In reply to: Buddypress – Personal Private Diary Options?@philsquires wait for 24 hours before bumping your topic.
You would need to create a plugin for that private diary/blog and look at how it’s done in BuddyPress Docs plugin.
In reply to: Custom menus like this exampleThat is solved by searching online. One search result shows this: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/solid_block_menu/. You can opt to use background color instead of images. Adjust to taste
@goldbrick Glad the pages finally showed up. It would help to know what your solution was so that others who might have the same problem could be helped as well.
Cheers.
1. Did you “Publish” those pages already or are your pages “Draft”? If already published, click on Update Button on each page. Re-run Settings > Permalinks and save. Post content of your htaccess file here.
2. Do you have a membership plugin or something like User Access Manager (UAM)? Deactivate and delete. Clear cache and check if Pages still redirect to 404.
3. Go to dashboard > Tools > Export > XML.
Create a free WordPress.com account
In dashboard of your new WP.com account, dashboard Tools > Import WordPress WXR i.e. XML
See if Pages appear even when not logged in. Then go to Tools > Export > XML
If so, import the XML file into your install. If the pages are working in your WP.com, it should work now in your own install
— Delete the free WP.com account (unless you want to keep it.If that doesn’t do it, answer this:
