@mercime – Gigantic ‘Yes’ to no more BP Template Pack questions! You have answered so many of those questions and helped out so many users with these issues.

Yup, we need new codex pages to detail all the cool BP 1.7 stuff in the works.

If you need some help drafting some pages, let me know.

@r-a-y thank you. No more bp-template-pack questions anymore come BP 1.7, only plugin-buddypress.php ones

BP 1.7 is going to be exciting, all these new shiny features in templates and forums and all that jazz! …. Errr, what am I saying? We need to create all those new codex pages covering the new features as well, gazooks, lol.

If you were using the WordPress registration page before while running BuddyPress, then it was actually a bug in BuddyPress!

However, if you really need to use the WP registration page, add this code snippet to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

`remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );`

This snippet disables the redirect from WP’s registration to BP’s registration page. It’s not really recommended to this, so I note this as a disclaimer now!

You’ll also want to probably remove the “Registration” page from the BuddyPress admin settings area so that page cannot be used for registering.

Glad to see interest in the BuddyPress Follow component. Wasn’t even aware that there were two forks of it!

To be fair, the original code for BuddyPress FollowMe was from BuddyPress Followers restructured to use the BP Skeleton Component. Other than that, from my quick look through the plugin, I did not see any new features or changes. Let me know if I’m wrong!

BuddyPress Followers is the original plugin created by Andy Peatling; I made an update to that plugin a long time ago and started maintaining the plugin.

It hasn’t had any updates as of late. If developers want to submit patches or ideas for BuddyPress Followers, you can do so on Github here:

EthanVan, I guess I can toggle the `’wrapper_class’` if you’re currently viewing a directory page, but other than that, you shouldn’t have to create a duplicate of the `$button` variable. Your code is not necessary when there is a filter available – `’bp_follow_get_add_follow_button’` – so you can hook in there and change the class if desired.

In BP 1.7, BuddyPress looks for the following files in your theme’s folder to determine which page BP uses for the skeleton:

`’plugin-buddypress.php’
‘buddypress.php’
‘community.php’
‘generic.php’
‘page.php’
‘single.php’
‘index.php’`

If you need to do a conditional based on a specific BP page component, there’s a filter in `bp_get_query_template()` to override it. Note: I haven’t tested this yet.

You could also use BP page conditionals with template parts within one of the templates listed above. That’s probably the easiest way without having to use filters.

References:
bp_get_theme_compat_templates():

bp_get_query_template():
`https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php#L140`

Not possible right now (the backend doesn’t support querying by dates). Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4428

Good point. Looks like a good trac ticket to post

In the example you posted above, however, this can already be accomplished if you have a page.php which includes a sidebar by default. When you edit the Group Directory page and choose the Full Width template, the directory page is rendered in full page. The single group pages take on the HTML structure of the theme’s default page.php which has a sidebar.

If however, you want all the BP templates to have full-width layouts for example, and have a default page.php with a sidebar, then that will be problematic …. unless you copy over the BP templates in your theme and add “, “ and “ which could include conditional statements and a different HTML structure surrounding the BP components. Of course this is theoretical since I haven’t tested it yet

EDIT – I see you’ve posted it in trac already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3741#comment:55

@biancagilly https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

== ACTIVATE page and it now shows up in the PULL DOWN but does nothing? ==

This is the page where members land with auto-generated content for that specific member after they click on activation email code which is sent to theme after they register.

So on it’s own, just going to yoursite.com/activate/ you’re not expected to see anything at all on that page.

@emaerchen not sure if the theme has been released. Best way to contact @travel-junkie about JobBoardr is via http://shabushabu.eu/

Go to dashboard menu Pages > All Pages and double-check if there is indeed an Activate page listed. If not, then the installation process had a hiccup in your site.

@aikighost Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress? That would have addressed page creation for the default Registration page as well as pretty permalinks required, among others. BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

== What do you set the Activate Pull down to? ==

The page should have been automatically created if you went through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress in your install https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

– Go to wp-admin and check for the admin message. If it’s not there, then go to Plugins > Installed plugins, delete BuddyPress and re-upload it manually via FTP/file manager/cpanel
– BP also requires “pretty permalinks” so go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to option other than default ugly permalink.

@ronnie_fantastic please post the code for your theme’s content-page.php file. Initial scan shows that you might only need to create 2 files for compatibility process, but I need to see content-page.php

Those menus aren’t provided by BuddyPress, so it won’t work. Are you using the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ plugin, by chance?

@raminjan : Whilst a little bit older: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-display-specific-users-avatar/ has some useful stuff in it. It all depends on if you want to customise the theme or you do want to go the plugin route. If you want uploading and other functionality you’re going to have to go plugin. If you just want to show the existing profile image (which probably is more sensible) then you could output anywhere you want.
