BuddyPress.org

FYI, login widget ticket is here:

There’s a patch by Boone there.

Use wp_deregister_script():

There are a bunch of tutorials out there.

Here’s one:

How to disable scripts and styles

Depending on your BP version, have you tried upgrading BuddyPress?

Also try to resave your permalink settings:

I have activity stream set as frontpage on a secondary blog on my test install.
Works fine.

Welcome Pack should allow you to automatically join users to groups the site admin defines when their account is activated. Be sure to read the following as well when using Welcome Pack to force users to groups: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/standard-group-for-new-users/#post-69096 — Besides, if…[Read more]

mercime, thanks for adding that extra info! Forgot to write about WP roles and frontend posting!

@hnla – I think that works for now.

Buddydev.com has a group blog plugin that takes advantage of standard WP’s blog categories:

Blog Categories for Groups Plugin

Something similar could be put together like that for members instead of groups.

Another plugin is required since this is tied specifically to groups.

Here’s a quick snippet you can add in your theme’s functions.php: function ray_number_online_users() { $i = 0; if ( bp_has_members( 'user_id=0&type=online&per_page=999&populate_extras=0' ) ) : while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); $i++; endwhile; endif; return $i; } Then you can use it in a template like: if ( function_exists(…[Read more]

To add a friend, simply navigate to a member profile you want to become friends with and click on the “Add Friend” button. The requested member gets an email notification asking whether or not to accept the friendship. Please go and test BuddyPress thoroughly on http://testbp.org, then come back here for any help. — For […]

Could have used this a few months ago when I had to develop something similar! 😉

@zomex – If you’re trying to override the adminbar CSS on the subblog, create a file called:
/wp-content/themes/_YOURTHEME_/_inc/css/adminbar.css

And copy the styles from bp-default’s adminbar.css. Then you can customize the styles to your heart’s content.

According to JJJ, the new bbPress plugin will work well with BuddyPress 1.3; BP 1.3 is scheduled to come out sometime in the New Year.

You could probably use Boone’s plugin as a guide to create the RSS feed.
A RSS feed could be created with an activity stream loop that targets group forum topics.

You can also check out /buddypress/bp-activity/feeds/ and /buddypress/bp-activity.php to see how BuddyPress does it.

New plugin: BuddyPress No Mentions

Enjoy!

If you need to stay on BP 1.2.4, you could probably just copy the part of the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function that adds support for the ‘html’ parameter… but I’d strongly suggest upgrading when you have the chance.

See the codex article on upgrading:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/upgrading-buddypress/

I would also suggest to check out this codex page for updates to the bp-default theme every once in awhile:
