BuddyPress.org

You need a BuddyPress compatible theme or to use the BuddyPress template pack plugin to convert your theme to a BuddyPress theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/

What kind of files? Documents https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/

Yes, I created an example to show how you can create a twitter type status update only site. http://status.taptappress.com

Also there is a theme focused ona  twitter like experience http://buddypress-themers.github.com/status

look for this plugin,it somewhat helps BuddyPress Pending Activations

Hard to understand why so many people are having this issue over a simple missing file and nothing being resolved.

The adminbar.css is missing. Not server issue or .htaccess. Just not in the directory.

I have made a black file to at least stop the 404 error logs and site load time.

So, where can I get a copy of adminbar.css?ver=3.4.2

Have you tried BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications)

@mercime Thanks for your reply. I actually meant random avatar for the “members” of my buddypress site (not for those who leave comments!)

The option in Discussion Settings that you mentioned in your post is for posting comments. Ain’t they? Or please correct me if I am wrong.

My idea is to create different random ‘default’ avatars to new members who sign-up. Some members of our site do not change their avatars and because of that we have several mystery ‘men’ getting populated in Members Directory, Group Directory and widgets or wherever we are showing off members’ avatars. The site looks so odd with so many mystery’men’ avatars.

I hope you understood the problem. Do you still recommend me to try your ideas or the plugin? Thanks for your help.

I’m a slow Typer.:D

1. It could be an issue with the redirects, does this link work for you? https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. The site here is using Bbpress 2 with the topic type as a super-sticky (or sticky. I still don’t know the difference between the two). You may want to see the codex at bbpress.org.

There’s some reorganizing going on the BP Codex. Try this link https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

You can already check it out in test install. Just download trunk version
svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/
or zip file from link at bottom of the page at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Re timeline, check the BP roadmap at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
BP 17 has 71 tickets to go. Patches welcome.

first check if the buddypress setting ‘members’ page slug were saved correctly.

you need to make sure the template/theme ‘SmallBiz’ are buddypress compatible.
you can use the ‘template-pack’ plugin if its not bp compatible theme.

Thank you @hiboy for your constructive and detailled closing answer.

Sure that this tread will help many people here.

That kind of wordpress plugin it is very much wanted! Any ideas if theres is something out there?

add this to your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_smilies', 2);
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_smilies', 99);

@paintermommy did you ever get this to work with the wishlist plugin? Are your forums private and only for paid members?

Man I hope soon! I’ve been checking back every single day. I’m really looking forward to 1.7. I don’t care if it has bugs lol. I just wanna test it out! : )
