Thanks @r-a-y.
I figured as much, but was hoping I was overlooking something obvious.

BuddyPress 1.8.1
bbPress 2.4.1
I don’t believe Ive found working examples of this. Members who selected Cats as their owned pet should see other cat owners and members who selected dogs should only see other dog owners.
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ). '&per_page='.sq_option('buddypress_perpage') ) ) : ?>
Keymaster, thanks so much, that’s the exact article I needed. I’ve got it working by adding those 3 files to the child theme and making some CSS adjustments. You saved me a lot of time.
It’s a themeforest theme so I guess I can’t expect it to be compatible with buddypress. I would think the developer would want it to be but he wasn’t really interested when I brought it to his attention.

Thanks @mercime and others, users now receive activation emails in their boxes.
Please how do i make Activity Stream the Main Page once a user logs in? Currently on the site where i implemented buddypress, once a user logs in, it takes them back to the index page (home page) of the site.
your responses will be helpful.

Per their installation video and the directions I have gleaned from this Support site,
@petdailypress I don’t know about the theme author’s installation video as we have no access to that. What you just need to do is to install and activate BuddyPress and then configure the components, pages and settings.
I cannot get the Registration page to work because it never set up the page
Register and Activation Pages
I want to put this search onto various other pages, but don’t know what files I should be looking for or where to find them.
I want the search on the indiviual’s profile page, on the main page for each type of user account, where it is currently on the members page, etc.
I have found the form in the Buddypress theme header.php file so what I need to know now is where to copy it too and where to find the files that I should be copying to.
Hi,
a solution here (in spanish).
cheers
@pmuktan Nearly all WordPress themes are compatible with BuddyPress. You just need to activate BuddyPress, then configure the BP Components/Pages/Settings. We don’t have access to the premium themes, but if Themeshift has the_title and the_content within the WP loop in its page.php file, then you should be good to go.
Right now i am using theme from themeshift.
How do i use buddypress in my current theme. ??

@pmuktan for importing your Mingle Forums to bbPress Forums (which BuddyPress uses), check out how to do so at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/
You’d find support for Mingle importer at https://bbpress.org/forums/
Log in using WP username and password. Good luck.
@yoyoma1974 what theme specifically are you trying to make compatible with BP? Hard to guess why you can’t make the changes using CSS or some functions in a child theme, etc.
We have some new articles with regards to making sidebar appear/disappear at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/ like on the Twenty Eleven theme. However, if your specific theme is not using the methods used in articles therein, you might have to follow up with the theme author or hire a developer to help you with the sidebar.
@shanebp is right. If you want to buy a theme, buy a good wordpress theme. You don’t need a buddypress theme since they should all work work with buddypress out of the box.
The point is that the creator of a premium theme stands behind their work and will answer support questions. These questions may be specific to the theme and how it works so they are the best person to ask.
If you have a generic question, you’re welcome to ask here.
You can ask questions here, but you may not get answers.
If you’re paying for a theme, then the theme sellers should offer support.
Remember that almost any WP theme will work with BuddyPress 1.8 and up.
So if you’re going to spend $55, you have a lot of choices.
You don’t need a BP specific theme.
Hi- Is it true that if i use a paid for buddypress theme, i can’t ask questions in the forum?
Do you think it is wise for someone skint and unable to do anything but all their own coding to use a paid for theme ($55).
I have used wordpress before. I’m new to buddypress.
Thanks
I am testing two custom registration forms (WPUF Pro and Gravity Forms Registration Add On) and am unable to make the birthday field work with either one of them. The format of the month/day/year is different between the custom forms and the buddypress registration date selector. The date selector uses Jan, Feb, March etc while the forms use numbers 1-12 for dates. The forms also have different ranges of years than the BP date selector.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to get a member birtdate to correctly populate the Buddypress date format and if so how to do it.
I’ve made a Trac. to get easier customization for this ‘problem’..
It’s set for BuddyPress version 2.0
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5261
Hmmm… thanks, shanebp ! We’ll check it out. 🙂
Look at that function in
buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php
Use one of the two filters to make your changes, probably with some string operations.
How are members designated ?
Per BP Group ?
Per course ?
So if a student is enrolled in Course A, they are automatically a member of Group A?
It’s not hard to only use a subset of all site members.
You just need to know the parameter that controls which group/course a logged-in member is part of. Then you can adapt this example:
BP_User_Query
I think I understand what you’re trying to do, as I want to do the same for our school. I just posted a request for help on this (had not come across this thread).
I’d like to make it so that students from one course or group could socialize exclusive of other groups at the school We have grades 6-12, as well as adult courses, and for protection and like-mindedness (maturity levels) I’d like to allow students to engage only with students in their own group. That way, adults won’t be in a Middle School group, and young children in a High School or Adult group.
How can this be done?
I have an LMS set up to organize students per courses/grade levels.
Using current versions of WP (3.7.1) and BuddyPress (1.8.1).
Thanks for your help! Seems like there’s plenty of interest in this.
Tim
