BuddyPress.org

You will need to explain exactly what you see them having access to – registration / users are a WP aspect what role a registered user has on your site is dictated by settings in your dashboard under settings > general where you should see a setting to change the default user role the default is set to ‘subscriber’ and allows your users very little power to edit anything in fact nothing, so have you changed something?

@indieconnect Good luck.

@hnla I know, I know, Atahualpa’s tables and all. But it’s a valid request for a popular theme plus it’s much much much better than the Artisteer” themes which I have declined to “template-pack-it” even if table-less. Having said that, all customization requests for BP-Atahualpa layout should be sent to theme author

== you must have a good working list of themes now? for a codex list ? ==
Done it, I did I’d already started compiling and adding to the list of all template-packed themes (45+) assisted in forums and 3 posted in Codex. My last update includes Atahualpa.https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

No, I would follow mercime’s advise to set up a test install to trial aspects of BP with but also activate BP on main site but until ready keep the main components de-activated except profiles, friends, messaging and use the WP menu to build your main menu so that you can ensure ‘groups’, ‘forums’, and ‘activity stream’ pages aren’t listed, this way you can run with user account/profiles from the front end and slowly introduce the other BP components as and when required.

I know I always mince my words, should really learn to say it how it is

Table layouts are unsustainable, fragile, break all notion of separation of content from style, throw one of the main virtues of CSS-P out with the trash, on many a forum dealing in Standards based frontend coding you’ll find many that will simply not help with table layouts, 10 years down the road and we really should have seen the back of them.

I’m sure Mercim’s changes will be effective, but lets hope we don’t see too many BP themes popping up using it – sorry Mercim not meaning to insult your efforts :p

In fact Mercime you a have helped with so many third party theme conversions to BP that you must have a good working list of themes now? for a codex list ?

Sorry to interject in a rather irritating fashion but I’ve run across this theme before and to be brutally honest you should not waste the time trying to make it compatible with anything it’s a table based layout and as such utterly outmoded and redundant and like a red rag to any long suffering Standards based coders

As for remembering settings you only need to trawl through the options table and others if you are actually wanting a completely clean install of BP and this is seldom really required.

please turn off your caps lock before replying further.

What you describe sounds like styling issues, cross browser styling issues. You do not mention anything about you setup, this info helps to determine what might be going on. If you have a child theme/ bp compatible theme running then please disable it and revert to the BP default theme and check whether you still see the problem, also – just in case it’s a plugin issue – de-activate all plugins other than BuddyPress.

@becskr, you may try the following, At the top of members-loop.php, replace the following code :

`

`

with:

`<?php /* My Custom Member Query to order alphabetical by default */
function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=15&type=alphabetical’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_query_filter_new’ );
?>

`

change the per page to your own requirement.

regards

@indieconnect @etienne-r-2 I installed Atahualpa. Changing instructions. I had to hardcode for fixed 3 column layout, delete extraneous code, add styles via theme options page and move wp_footer to where it’s supposed to be (before closing body tag), etc.

Create BLANK header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php files

1) header-buddypress.php – copy all from http://pastebin.com/jv4EdjnK and save

2) sidebar-buddypress.php – leave blank

3) footer-buddypress.php – copy all from http://pastebin.com/DksDP4Mc and save

Upload 3 files to theme folder in server

Then go to your dashboard Appearance > Atahualpa Theme Options > Add HTML/CSS Inserts – CSS Inserts section

4) Add the following styles under h1 to h6 default styles in the box – http://pastebin.com/thcGExQg

You have to tweak your styles a little more. Use Firebug, a Firefox add-on to identify what you need to tweak and add them in the CSS inserts section of your theme options page.

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

@sheilahash
– We’re aware of the issue. Search via Google in the meantime. Thanks for your patience.

– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is corrected. If not, deactivate BuddyPress and check if same issue happens with your regular WP registration.

== I have already running custom permalinks as /%city_name%/%post_id%/. ==
@nookeet Change custom permalink to what’s available on panel other than default and see if issue is resolved.

What WP theme are you using with BP Template Pack plugin?

@jafar1374 Change the styles of div#sidebar and div#content .padder in your RTL stylesheet to

[UPDATED 04-24-2012 From default.css for right sidebar structure]
`div#content {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

div#content .padder {
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
margin-right: 225px;
}

div#sidebar {
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 3px;
border-top-right-radius: 3px;
float: left;
margin-left: -226px;
margin-top: 1px;
width: 224px;
}`

== , to check if the changes were rendering, which they are not. ==
@nathanwoulfe Sanity Check. When you say child theme, do you mean child theme of the bp-default theme? If not, if you have a child theme of a regular WP theme, have you installed the BP Template Pack plugin and have gone through Appearance > BP Compatibility process?
WP/BP versions?

== a h3 tag [h3][?php _e( ‘Site Activity’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?][/h3] that isn’t rendering either… ==
– I’ll assume that you used brackets instead of the “ symbols so that they show up in forum post. Know that you don’t have to use brackets, just surround your code with backticks, symbol you see between parentheses `( ` )`
– the Site Activity title doesn’t show up in Activity Directory page when user is logged in

@jende The avatars in the sidebar widgets are constrained down to 40px x 40px via stylesheet. The actual avatar size is 50px x 50px. You could change the avatar size via your bp-default child theme’s style.css file like so:
`#footer-widget-area div.item-avatar img, /* remove this line if you only want to change size in right sidebar */
div#sidebar div.item-avatar img {
height: 50px;
margin: 1px;
width: 50px;
}`

@abovenbelow what white background, where?

@dave953 I suggest that you set up a separate WP/BP test site using different DB on the same server where your current WP is installed. That way, you can test BP, different BP plugins and/or themes first before installing or introducing it to your users in your main site.

@juanmaguerrero,any update on the tutorial.

Thanks

@coxis123 It’s the other way around. You need to make your Thesis theme compatible with BuddyPress. We use the BP Template Pack plugin to make WP themes compatible with BP.

Overview to the compatibility process and the list of WP themes at the bottom of the same page that we’ve made BP-compatible at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

@britt2802

I’m not sure what you mean by backup.

If you mean just the database then the newer version bp files will still be there anyway….

Some other solutions were suggested in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-activation-email/
