BuddyPress.org

Hi Auktweena — that plugin is not related to BuddyPress, so you would be better off asking questions on the forum for the plugin, or on the wordpress.org forums.

As for step 3 – that’s standard ‘stuff’ for integrating a plugin’s templates into the theme you’re using for your website. This article gives you an introduction to theme development in WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

Generally, theme work requires PHP development experience. In your case, to get the basics up and running, it looks like you just need to copy some files… you’ll need an FTP client to navigate and copy / move around the files on your website.

There is not difference between WordPress users and BuddyPress users – they are the same thing on a BuddyPress enabled site.

You would be best using WordPress user capabilities, and then some logic in your template code to authorise / reauthorise access based on those capabilities.

Just about anything is possible if you are a good PHP developer.

@justjd23 – if you are looking for a BuddyPress developer, you can post on the jobs board: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/

“Forum Topics” and “Forum Replies” are added by BuddyPress, and work for bbPress 1.x (aka Group Forums).

“Topics” and “Replies” are added by and are work for bbPress 2.x content (aka Site Wide Forums).

If you’re using bbPress 2.1, you don’t need to use Group Forums. Go to your WordPress admin > Settings > BuddyPress, then Components, and disable Group Forums.
Then go to the bbPress Settings page, and if you scroll to the bottom, there will be a “Enable Group Forum integration” box (or similar).

It would need custom development.

It’s fine integrating with an existing (WordPress) site.

@timetraveler – add the following at the bottom of your stylesheet.

`ul#activity-stream div.activity-meta {
clear: left;
margin-bottom: 15px;
position: static;
}

.activity-list li.mini .activity-content {
margin-right: 25px !important;
}`

We “template-packed” Atahualpa i.e., install BP template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility. Instructions for Step 3 are found in following link https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/footer-is-in-left-column-on-buddypress-pages/ — though you should read through the end of the topic as you might want to reconsider using Atahualpa

Wow, very useful. Thanks TheBeardedOne

@boonebgorges – Hope this helps… maybe in 1.7 ?
@thebeardedone – Thank you! Percona’s work was done on a BP 1.5.6 install… or?

Merging the two won’t happen.

It’s a horrible idea to test with live data. The point of keeping them separate is to keep them separate, so the development team has a safe and disconnected place to deploy code with little repercussion.

The slow load times likely have to do with a recent server migration, and we’re looking into what’s up. I appreciate your investigation into what’s going on where.

@modemlooper, I don’t know about anyone else but I appreciate the frack out of wordpress, buddypress and automatic!

we’re all friends here and have the same interest: how to make WP+ BP even awesomer!

@frank13 the list mentions one of the most powerful ways to speed up any wordpress install:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/

it is a bit of a slog to *properly* select the right features for your particular install but W3 is pretty powerful – just be careful, the plugin is dangerously good – meaning that if you don’t know what you’re doing it can $#&! your site

my suggestion was for two reasons, I don’t understand why testbp.org exists because that functionality can be performed by buddypress.org

also, buddypress.org is for some strange reason very slow

look up your site using this service and see ifyou can find bottlenecks:

http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120720_0E_TC8/ (3.3 second for testbp.org)

http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120720_3N_TDF/ (7 second for buddypress.org)

Closing topic.
