That front page looks a little congested… try to reduce your columns and feature less items per row.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve experienced this on occasion.

Clear your cookies and it should work again.

[EDIT]

It appears you’re using a subdomain install and not a subdirectory:

http://project2.solarpowernewsonline.com/

http://project1.solarpowernewsonline.com/

Also when you go to:

http://project2.solarpowernewsonline.com/blogs

http://project1.solarpowernewsonline.com/blogs

They both link to the same thing as the subdomain URL… how did you setup your permalinks?

Your “Activity” link problem occurs because you’re trying to use the BP default theme as a user blog theme, which will not work.

If you want to use the BP default theme as a user blog theme, create a child theme and strip out the BP nav links:

For the first part, what version of WordPress are you using?

Secondly, you can edit the sign up text by using a language file:

Or by creating a child theme and modifying the registration templates.

BP looks like it’s working on the member and group pages.

Your problem appears to be only on blog posts, correct?

Have you tried changing your permalinks to something else?

What happens when you disable that membership plugin you’re using?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

I’d like all the subscribers/authors/etc (aka artists) for a given blog (aka art project) to be listed at the top of the blog’s index.php page, with a few fields from the xprofile (bio, specialty, etc.). Ideally, I’d get them to echoed in a way that was easy to feed into a snazzy jquery slider gizmo.

Should be possible, Nathan, using some WP template tags combined with that code snippet I posted above.

I’d help out if you can guarantee me some free lodging in that art monastery some time in the future

Looks like you installed an external version of bbPress.

You should have used the internal version of bbPress bundled with BuddyPress:

eg. testbp.org/forums/

Read the following note after point #3:

@rsqst

What are you trying to do?

You can use the function above in your user blog’s sidebar or any WP template.

eg. say you have an author with an xprofile field called “Bio”.

$authorBio = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Bio', get_the_author_id() );



echo 'Author's bio: '. $authorBio;

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Yes you can!

Check out the BP loops:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Look at the following function:

xprofile_get_field_data( 'YOUR XPROFILE FIELD', $user_id )

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

@stwc

Haven’t tried this, but try using the get_header action, instead of bp_init.

It comes later in the action list and parses info just before any output to the page is done, so there’s a chance bp_init might be too early.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

@stwc

In your function, try using is_front_page() or is_home() instead of bp_is_front_page().

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

You’re right, Brajesh.

Forgot about that function!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Try:

bp_get_group_id();

Cool find, Gene!

I can see this being very useful for the site admin!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Create a theme specifically for user blogs and set this theme as the default theme when a user creates a new blog.

That should solve most of your problems.

Read this thread:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-blog-theme-as-default

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Might want to contact Mike Kuhlmann, the creator of the theme:

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

It really depends on your site.

Creating a child theme off the default is recommended, but doesn’t give you the convenience of using an already-developed and designed WP theme / site.

—

Pros of child theme

-easy upgrading when there’s a new BP release; no need to worry about breaking anything (for the most part)

Cons of child theme

-you have to create a child theme (to some this isn’t a big deal, but thought i’d list it)

–> if you’re going for a completely different design off the default theme, you’ll probably be copying a lot of templates over from the default to the point that it isn’t worth creating a child theme anymore (note that this probably isn’t the case for the majority of BP users).

—

Pros of using a WP theme with BP Template Pack

-integrate BP with an existing WP theme (or site!)

Cons of using a WP theme with BP Template Pack

-using the BP Template Pack plugin requires some CSS and template tweaking to make everything look the way you want it (to some this isn’t a big deal, but thought i’d list it)

-could rely on Andy occasionally updating the BP Template Pack plugin on new BP releases (not saying that Andy is incapable of doing this — far from it — but it’s just one additional step you have to wait on)

-note you could also create your own default theme or parent-child theme structure, thekmen has implemented Hybrid as the parent theme with a Hybrid child theme designed to work with BP. This is a little bit more complex, but is doable and will probably require a bit of manual maintenance in the future as well.

—

I should note that, like modemlooper, I prefer creating a child theme.

But I see you’ve already dedicated some time to get Cureuphoria up and running, so you might want to stick with what you have.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

BP Member Filter is a plugin by JJJ that does what you want:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/

I’ve tested this back in the BP 1.1.3 days and it worked to some extent.

Haven’t tested this with BP 1.2.

—

You could also potentially use the “Search Engine” plugin by Scott Kingsley Clark:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-engine/

It works as a spider so it indexes all content on your site (so I’m guessing it would include BP content)… I should state that I haven’t used this though.

But it wouldn’t offer the “advanced search” functionality you’re looking for. More like a sitewide search.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Good job, snark!

Your PageRank and Alexa ranking is pretty decent — so congrats to good content!
