Whatever the changes were, do we need a new version of Template Pack also?

I’ve disabled ‘Friends’ in the Component Setup. I didn’t want everyone to have to request frienships just to be able to send mesages. It seems that the drop-down will only show members who are also friends. Not only that, even if you type the members name in the message will […]

I’m fine with 3.1 – love that only file in my child show in edit:-) My concern is with using non-buddypress themes such as twentyten and adding BP to them.

That’s why I am saying this situation is an error. The field being used next to the display name, @LindaPH in my example, is NOT the user login name. That is still Lindy and you would need to use @Lindy to message her. BP uses that same user_nicename in constructing the permalink. In […]

All I did was change the user_nicename. BP is using the user_nicename next to the ‘Display as’ name with an @ in front to indicate you can message to it. You can’t. You can only message to the username you login with, as you quite rightly state. […]

BuddyPress insists on ‘pretty permalinks’ you need to get rid of the index.php. If you are using an Apache server this is easy – just take it out. If you are on Zeus for example then you will need a rewrite […]
