Hi @djouonanglandry,

Thanks for wanting to help users find solutions to enhance or fix their BuddyPress sites but I must ask that you not reply to users topics with requests for payment in exchange for your services.

This forum is volunteer based, the users here help each other out as BuddyPress is open source and free to use. Volunteer support is a way for the users to give back to the project.

You can however reply to paid support requests:
https://buddypress.org/support/forum/bp-jobs-board
http://jobs.wordpress.net

Or try one of the many freelance sites.

Hi Marc,

I think you have outlined a great feature set here. However, I think this is probably falling on deaf ears, here.

I am the co-founder of Event Espresso. We spent several thousand dollars to build a working integration with Buddypress a couple of years ago. Unfortunately for us, they rewrote the entire Buddypress system shortly after we released the integration to our beta testers and our integration stopped working. Since that happened, we have not had the resources to build another integration with Buddypress.

We may look into building another integration someday, once we are done rewriting our own system, but we will need more customers to vote on it and maybe even willing to crowd fund this particular integration. If you are interested in an integration with Buddypress and Event Espresso, please let us know in the Event Espresso support forums.

Hi @welshdemo

The theme’s fine. The problem is actually caused by a bug in our widgets (you’re using the Members list and the “Who’s online?” widgets). We’re tracking the bug here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5170 and currently aiming to fix it by the 2.0 release, which is probably 4 months away. If we get a fix before then, we’ll put it into a 1.9.x small release.

A workaround is to make sure that no BuddyPress widgets are rendered before the main content of the page. i.e. try moving the widgets to the right-hand column, or a widget area at the bottom of the page, or just removing the widgets.

@jconti Thank YOU for an awesome plugin and for being proactive in spam prevention for BuddyPress. Two thumbs up 🙂

wordpress/buddypress uses the template file ( ie footer.php ) in the child theme directory if it exists, otherwise it uses the parent’s file.

*.php files are simple text files and normally everything means something. Most things have opening and closing tags which you need to be aware of, but in general, what you put in the child theme’s file will then be used…

functions.php and style.css are loaded after the parent theme’s versions.

The only file a child theme needs is a style.css which will overwrite rules in the parent’s css

@barboncaves

Actually I was trying to keep it simple and I don’t know what theme you are using.

Copy footer.php from the parent theme directory to your new child theme direcory and change that line to what you want.

If you are using bp-default then that line is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php#L15 – just replace the text between the paragraph tags with a simple text line

( or even the whole line as the <p> </p> tags arent’t critical but help with styling )

I think the page you are looking for is :

\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

line 22.

hope this helps.

I agree, modifying a core file is bad, a template file is a little better 🙂

Just gotta remember to keep those back ups!

No, it’s hardcoded in a bunch of places, sorry. Looking to improve this in BuddyPress 2.0, but the effort might not be fully finished until some release after that one.

It sounds like you’ve run the importer that comes with bbPress 2. If BuddyPress and Activity were set up and working prior to you running that data import/migration, I would expect the Activity stream to be populated. If this isn’t the case, perhaps it is a bug. Might be worth a quick look on bbpress.org’s forums to see if the question has been asked before.

I’m not aware of any scripts or plugins that backfill the data for you.

It’s a problem with the buddypress-member-profile-stats plugin. That plugin hasn’t been updated since 2011-11-5, so I’m not particularly surprised there are problems. You’re probably best to try to find an alternative plugin to use.

@barboncaves

The main point of a child theme is that you can upgrade the parent theme and still keep your edits.

To create a child theme of bp default you need to create a new directory ie: /wp-content/themes/bp-child/

In that directory you need to create a style.css simple text file with a header at the top of the file ie:

/*
Theme Name: A BP Child Thene
Theme URI: http://buddypress.org
Description: A Buddypress child theme.
Version: 0.1
Author: Me
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress
*/

The Template: bit is important. The /* and the */ ‘comment out’ what is between them so the browser doesn’t try to interpret as css.

After the header comes the style rules and properties such as were quoted above.

To follow through with an example from your other question using the bp-default theme.

First you need to copy footer.php from /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ into the /bp-child/ theme directory.

In that file should be the following line 15:
<p><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by <a href="%1$s">WordPress</a> and <a href="%2$s">BuddyPress</a>.', 'buddypress' ), 'http://wordpress.org', 'http://buddypress.org' ); ?></p>

Replace that line with something like:

<p>© <?php echo date('Y'); ?><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ) ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
					<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>. </p>

Put what you want between the paragraph tags ( <p> and </p> ) – it could just be simple text. Use a text editor not a word-processor…

Then preview the bp-child theme and the footer text should have been changed.

I would suggest backing up your files and database before attempting to edit files….

@Willamdmae, sorry, I missed that part. I have two sites, a production and a test site, both of which this is happening on. On the test site, I only have BuddyPress, the Chat and memberships plugins running, so I doubt that it’s being caused by any other plugins.
