Definitely try the basics of narrowing down the root of your problem. First, I’d probably download the maintenance mode plugin and let all your users know beforehand that you’ll be doing some testing in the wee hours of the late night. Then, deactivate all your plugins. Run the Default BP theme that shipping with your […]

Yep, you can definitely do this with WP/BP. But as far as photo albums/videos go, you’ll definitely want to figure out the storage/hosting part, because it sounds like your users might be playing with loads of data.

Gah! Parallaxes are fun and cool, but you’re adding some serious bloat to your code by doing this. Save yourself the trouble and just stick with the static version. It’ll be less of a headache for you and your users (think about the various browsers, platforms and versions you’d have to support first in order […]

You’ll have to tweak the header file a bit to assign unique classes that correspond to those tab links. But while you’re at it, you might as well just turn those tabs into Custom Menu tabs (WP 3.0 feature) like @modemlooper detailed here… http://modemloop.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/buddypress-drop-down-menus/ (just take those li classes and drop…[Read more]

If you’re the super admin, you should be able to create it for him/her and then just have him/her log in to reset his/her password.

I haven’t used the plugin or any randomizing plugin, but my best guess would be that it comes with a shortcode or template tag. If it does, paste that into a new page and go to Settings >> Reading >> Front Page = Static –> choose your newly created page. You might have to run […]

I think it’s like that by default. I can only view the blogs that I created as the Super Admin from the admin bar, even though I can get to the other blogs in different ways. Took me a double-take to figure that out, as well =)

Make sure your style.css starts with…

/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk
Theme URI: http://example.org/themes/dusk/
Description: Dark theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.org/
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress, two-column, grey, dark
*/

and don’t forget the bold line!
