BuddyPress.org

You could have different layouts/colors for different sections/pages of your site within one theme already.

You could create a Twenty Eleven child theme, then install/activate BP template pack plugin and go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process. The cool thing is that you create a header-buddypress.php (with link to own stylesheet) and a footer-buddypress.php, both with the same structure as the BP Default theme and basically you’re good to go. The two new files would cover all the BP templates transferred to your Twenty Eleven child theme.

@naijaping Actually I have it worked out already and styled in a drop down menu on my site.

@shawn38, @designnz, @yeshourun, i am so so sorry, have not been checking this thread as i receive no notification at all. i will share this code when am back next week. I have been working on my Main site : http://goo.gl/4OqMP

I think i should be able to share how to make the notification work something similar to facebook.

once again apology

How do you set a blog as ‘private’ in a multisite / Buddypress setup?

How about this:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-usernames/

It looks like something that might possibly work for your problem, and would disallow the use of spaces in the username since I believe it’s all handled on the WordPress side of things for BuddyPress anyhow concerning registrations and so forth…

If you are using the BP-Default theme you just go into your WordPress Admin panel, go to Themes, choose “Editor” and you should then be able to find what you are looking for in BuddyPress Default under;

Main Index Template
(groups/index.php)

This file should be where you can rename those few things, among others, though you really should create a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) to add any such changes or customizations with in order to future-proof yourself so that when a new version of BuddyPress is released it doesn’t overwrite your own custom changes to the code.

Don’t forget to save the changes to the file before you proceed, and be extra careful as to what you are making any such changes to when doing so!

If you mess it up you can always pull a fresh file from another copy of BP-Default and upload it to the correct place on your server and just start over from scratch.

Good luck!

BuddyPress ships with fully customized bbPress 1.

Re BP 1.7: As Paul, a BP core dev, mentioned above it’s the customized bbPress 1 which will be phased out, the Group Forums will be kept but will be moved to the Sitewide forums (bbPress plugin). See bbPress Settings where at the bottom of the panel, there’s a section specifically for BuddyPress Group Forums https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-swforums-03.jpg?w=700

I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1

Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/

I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.

I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Sorry, I dont know if this is the same type of question but im trying to reduce my http request. I have bp on my home page and everytime a new member register, my http request goes up. I have an F in minimize request and redirect. Where would i go to redirect these links at the bottom? would i be able to use activity action for this or no?

activate bp default theme to test if its the theme. If it’s the theme, you may need to update to latest version.

Just wanted to see if somebody could help me out with the code above – I put it in bp-custom.php and it throws this error:

`Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_has_forum_topic_posts() (previously declared in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:60) in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 1131`

Thanks much

If what you are suggesting is that the BuddyPress admin panel should be redesigned like those examples I’d second that it probably wouldn’t be anytime soon. I’d also add that I really hope it wouldn’t be like those examples as they are really awful UI wise. Sorry but that reminds me of the horrible old school server admins.

Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.
