@bigjimmysisco – Please try the amended code; I was typing on the fly and forgot to end the conditional statement!

The function_exists() conditional is important because if you ever upgrade BP Template Pack, you’ll get an error.

@mercime – Yeah, I’m looking forward to the release as well 😉

Create a new WP page with the verbiage you want to add.

You might want to create your new page with a custom page template:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Then set this new page as your frontpage:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel

The code you’re looking for is this: `if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’ ) ) : function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) { switch ( $activity->component ) { case ‘groups’ : case ‘friends’ : // Only insert avatar if one exists if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {…[Read more]

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php : function bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username() { global $topic_template; if ( !$link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename, $topic_template->post->poster_login ) ) return __( 'Deleted User', 'buddypress' ); return apply_filters(…[Read more]

The code should work without friends enabled, though I haven’t tested thoroughly.

I’m guessing you’re using the BP Followers plugin?

There’s a new group category plugin that might help you out:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/

I haven’t tested it though.

The register page uses a BP template: /registration/register.php You could add some verbiage before the registration form in that template, perhaps a link to your blog post? If you’re currently using the bp-default theme, create a child theme , copy /registration/register.php to your child theme and modify the template anyway you like (just don’t…[Read more]

If user #1 becomes a friend of user #2, then the wp_bp_friends will add only 1 entry to the wp_bp_friends DB, not two.

Hope that helps.

Do not use existing installation if you do not have a standalone bbPress install.

Go to “Forums Setup”, then click on the reinstall link.
Next, click on “Set up a new bbPress installation” and follow the steps to complete forum setup.

If you’re using BP 1.2.7, simply put your buddypress language files in:
/wp-content/languages/

Make sure your language files are named like:buddypress-vi.po
buddypress-vi.mo
If you’re using an older version of BP, read step 3 of this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

A workaround is you could create your own groups loop and place it before the group directory loop in the group directory template: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/ If you know you’re not going to have to change these groups, you could just hardcode the group info with HTML directly into the…[Read more]

To remove the default tabs, you’ll need to modify the theme. Read this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ Then, once you’ve got the hang of that. Copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/header.php to your new child theme and modify the tab structure. The function you’ll want is: is_user_logged_in() Wrap…[Read more]

They have an abbreviated registration form on the homepage that only shows the username field, then it redirects to the registration page.

Are you looking for something like this?

If so, navigate to your BP registration page, view the HTML source and copy everything in the tag into your homepage template.

MrMaz, the term you’re looking for is “theme framework”. Like Justin Tadlock’s Hybrid or Ian Stewart’s Thematic.

Your argument is similar to Justin’s blog post on why advanced parent themes are not frameworks:

Frameworks? Parent, child, and grandchild themes?
