BuddyPress.org

Yes, the mu features are now ‘built in’ to WordPress – have a look on the WordPress Codex for WordPress Multisite (and ‘setting up a network’).

We have no problems running BuddyPress installed on a secondary blog on one of our current development projects

Are you using the default bp-custom.php or have you got a bespoke version?

@jamigre – we built the theme at http://21inspired.com

@perrij3 – thanks for the feedback – good luck with your site

As for favouriting – I think you’ll have to use your browser bookmarks; I don’t think you can like / favourite posts on buddypress.org

It’s not possible with the default BuddyPress, but is possible to code – it is a fairly substantial task.

Then you have a WordPress / server config problem. You should fix this before installing BuddyPress.

You need to ask your server company and / or go onto the WordPress forums

@johnnyscience – sounds like a javascript / CSS problem to me – are you definitely running with the vanilla BuddyPress install AND the BuddyPress default theme. No CSS or HTML changes at all? The default theme uses javascript routines to display a lot of the reply code – if you are using a different theme, you […]

Go back to a base WordPress install with the default 2010 theme. Then try to set custom permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/ Does that work? Can you go to categories and posts without problem? If not, it is a problem with your server setup for WordPress and nothing to do with BuddyPress. You should fix that problem […]

Finally – if your custom.CSS is getting called, and is last in the cascade as you want – have a look at the specifity of your selectors – the most specific one is the one that will be used.

Ps also look in your web inspector for any file not found messages relating to your CSS files

Crank open inspect element in your browser.. I take it you are using firefox, safari or chrome.. And take a look at the chain of CSS files that are leading to the definition for container etc in your site. That will tell you which files are being used, and which are taking preference? Are you […]

@pcwriter – Is this in a child theme from bp-default? Have you checked the file path is correct to your custom.css file? Do an inspect element in your browser and check the path bloginfo is generating – is it the one you expect? Also, not sure what you mean by it “it defaults to bp-default/_inc/css/default” … […]

date() returns a string, it doesn’t display it. You’ll need to use the ‘echo’ statement to display it.

That’s a basic PHP question, not anything BuddyPress specific – Google “php echo”

To work with the templates and significantly modify BuddyPress look and feel, a basic grounding in PHP is a pre-requisite.

You will need to echo the string returned from the function!

There was one on this site until a week ago… Don’t know why it was removed – I found it quite useful.

I guess @boonebgorges might know if it was an off the shelf plugin

This page tells you how to create widgets for WordPress / BuddyPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API#Developing_Widgets

Take a look at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/ Essentially, something like !bp_is_blog_page() will return TRUE when you are on any page that isn’t a WordPress blog page – i.e. when you are on any of the Social Network (BuddyPress) pages. Alternatively, the default theme already embeds some class…[Read more]

This plugin seems to have the right aspirations

@rickkumar – re: “I was wondering if folks at WordPress/BuddyPress can either provide web hosting” I think you may be confused to the nature of BuddyPress – it’s not a company with officials, structure, funds, etc. to set up / negotiate hosting contracts. BuddyPress is an open source software project, albeit one that is strictly controlled […]
