BuddyPress.org

You will need a BP plugin for the image gallery and a BP plugin to insert the banner image/s of choice like this per member.

For the image gallery:
1. Free – BP Album/Media
2. Premium – BP Gallery by BuddyDev.com

For the banner image/s of user – no plugin available at this time. Check out @sbrajesh – Buddydev.com http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-custom-background-for-user-profile/ which you could adapt to upload image/banner to the hook available before member header in template

== every single table in my database says pressfix ==

BuddyPress did not add any pressfix in front of your table names. Check your wp-config.php file to see what prefix you added to your tables. BP creates _bp_ tables in your database. It also adds BP options in wp_options table https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

I’ve installed – re-installed, manually modified DB’s, a hundred times and never had anything remotely like this happen especially not caused by BP. BP doesn’t cock up in this manner, table prefix sounds like something your theme has done.

As for fix? try renaming your tables back to the wp default ‘wp_’

A little more work is required to remove those empty tags used for clearing though

This question is best suited for the wordpress.org support forums as it doesn’t seem to involve BuddyPress.

Hi,
The code provided above worked, although a little change was required in sidebar coding…

Just for clarity- you do know understand that in the event that bp hasn’t created pages or you get that message that associations are broken it’s a manual process to create those pages before navigating back to BP pages to now find them available in the selection dropdown.

With Saluation – if memory serves – you may need to go into each of those pages created for BP use and ensure that you have selected ‘buddypress’ in the layout options sidebar custom field.

@babray add to the equation that Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)

@oaklawn “I really need people to be able to post anonymously. … I would like to have people post without a display name “

Where? In posts? In blog post comments? In Group or Sitewide Forums? It can be done, you just need to delete the instances where username is shown in different templates of the different components.

Good question. I think if you delete the registeration/ folder in your theme (or parent theme), it will use WP’s. Let us know.

Also try removing the page mapping for the component in wp-admin – BuddyPress > Components

There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at

@starprintbrokers Salutation is supposed to be a BuddyPress-ready theme, therefore you do not need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin nor go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. If you did, deactivate Salutation and delete the theme, then re-upload a clean copy of the Salutation theme but do not activate it yet.

Change to bp-default theme, then go to BuddyPress > Pages. For each component that does not have a Page yet, e.g. Activity Streams does not have “Activity” page across, click on “New Page” button and the Page will be created. Do the same for the remaining components in the section. You associate each page to each component and click “Save All” button at the bottom of the section.

Check that each BP component page is working. Then and only then do you change to Salutation theme. Btw, do confirm with theme author if Salutation has been upgraded to work with current BuddyPress version.

go to your /wp-admin -> plugins -> add new.
search Buddypress Template Pack.
Install it, and run it.
Follow the simple steps…
All should work well.

This is because BuddyPress is not yet “aware” that they’re there until they log in, assuming BuddyPress is a recently activated plugin.

See https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ at “Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity): …”

Go to Settings > Permalinks and set permalinks to other than default permalink. Then go again to BuddyPress > Pages and Re-Save the settings, assuming you’ve already assigned Pages to respective components.

The javascript used for the comment, delete and favorite buttons is hijacking the tap on touch screens there for it will be impossible to copy unless this javascript is re written to include touch.

== Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database ==

@roclimb BuddyPress creates tables in database and does not overwrite WP DB tables..

Just deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins from wp-admin. If you cannot access your wp-admin, rename buddypress plugin folder via FTP/sFTP or control panel in server. See also https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/

@stealthology post also at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

@elangley Thank you. We’re aware of the issue.

@jloc14 using FTP/SFTP or your control panel – rename the following folders in your server:
– from wp-content/plugins/buddypress to wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xx
– from wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack to wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack-xx

You can access your wp-admin by now.
