BuddyPress.org

@jakeyboy1989 from your WP forums post as well – If you just want to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, you don’t need to create a multisite installation.

Install and activate the BP Template Pack Plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Then post back here if you require further assistance.

@strek-break you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

Hi, @jafar1374 I think there’s a misunderstanding. The Default theme is the one this site is using: http://www.soyskater.com/ and the one that http://patomatlovers.com/ is using is not. Neither way I think you’re needing some designer’s help to achieve what you want. To separate any boxes you should add something like “margin-bottom:20px;” in the current css stylesheet but for that to look ok your theme should have some style to actually make differences between each widget block, ie: “border:1px solid #000” just to make an example.

I just create three groups in a row on testbp.org. Worked fine.

You can add this to wp-config.php:

`define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘conversations’ );`

That will change the slug. To change the actual text that is rendered on the page, check out the “Custom Groups Name” plugin at http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/

…and if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and start editing your translation files!

== When the Forum page is activated, it does not show automatically on the site menu ==

If you’re using the custom menu in Appearance > Menu, then you’d have to add the link to the new Forum page to your custom menu.

== Where do I find instructions to set up this type of community site? ==

Your wp_list_comments() call specifies the callback as a function called “mytheme_comment”, which is probably in your theme’s functions.php file. You’ll need to use these functions in there, or modify what you have already.

For an example, look at the code block just below the phrase “You will need to define your custom callback function in your theme’s” on https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments (get_avatar is used six lines from the top)

Well enough?

Improving performance at the very-high (millions of users, groups, activity, and so on) is something we’ll be working on in BP 1.7, but I wouldn’t worry about *if* it can scale up to 10 million users unless you actually have 10 million users on your site right now.

If you do, great; set up a test installation of BuddyPress, find a way to migrate some of your content in, and see how it goes.

It should happen if the member’s site privacy is set to public, and if the BuddyPress ‘site tracking’ component is enabled.

I am also very interested in this.

If you’ve gotten the top-level pages to work and access BuddyPress content, I can’t understand why it wouldn’t also work everywhere else.

Your original post says “second BuddyPress install”; are you trying to run two separate BuddyPress sites under one installation of WordPress (multisite)?

WordPress’ get_avatar() should work fine. For post/page comments, I would actually suggest using get_avatar() instead of bp_core_fetch_avatar() so that your site doesn’t break if you decide to turn off or stop using BuddyPress.

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the TOP, above all code contained within, add this
`

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/envision/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are in

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your peekaboo theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your envision theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<div class="middle” id=”ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_right’;
elseif ( get_post_meta($post->ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==2 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
elseif ( get_option(PREFIX.’_sidebar_position’)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
else echo ‘sidebar_right’; ?>”>

Hi,

In your comments template, you should try using the BP avatar function:
`
if ( function_exists( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’ ) ) :
echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
‘item_id’ => THE_USER_ID,
‘type’ => ‘full’,
‘width’ => 75,
‘height’ => 75
));
endif;
`
