I’m busy creating my theme and although I’m getting some success with some of it I’m hitting a wall with the activity area.
I have followed the child theme process by adding the directory to my theme eg /my_theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php I modified the markup and it worked fine, but when I try and perform the same edit with the activity directory /my_theme/buddypress/activity/ the page breaks.
Anyone got experience with this?
BP 1.7.1
I can’t figure out how out how to get my homepage to replicate what the registration page does in buddypress, so that it redirects to activity when you try and click on it logged in?
I managed to fix this, basically the page template needs to be in your buddypress directory inside your theme. /your_theme/buddypress/page.php
Hi
Could you please give me the solution to fix the issue. I am waiting for your reply..
Thanks
Hi, thanks so much for your reply.
Unfortunately my site is on localhost. As above, I tried my best to describe the issue.
Oh i see, i am still deciding and trying out each different buddypress theme.
for example – http://para.llel.us/themes/salutation-wp/members/admin/
the menu of the activity,profile,site1 till forum, if i install plugin that add menu item, the menu item break into second row and overlap the first row abit.
Any solution?
Are all styles overloading or just some? If just some it could be forcing styles through.
Are you also using BuddyPress 1.7.2 (or 1.7.x)?
However, if it’s all then can you check if the theme has this line in it:
add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );
If no, then can you try with another theme just to see if it’s Avenue that’s being grumpy? Maybe something like the default WordPress Twenty-Twelve would be a nice test theme.
Hi, unfortunately as each theme is different could you either provide a link or a screenshot (going to be less useful than link) along with what theme you are using?
Menus can be styled but it all depends on what you have to start off what recommendation is made.
Am using WP 3.6 and Buddypress 1.7
Am writing a plugin that adds a new tab to the profile page for a user. In this page custom fields are shown that allows users to add Options to their wp_[siteid]_options table. Can anyone tell me where i can find the hook for doing insert/update/delete for this?
Appreciate any help!
Hi,
I not sure how to explain my issue but I would try my best to describe it. Site on localhost.
Default buddypress menu have
Activity
Profile
Messages 0
Friends 0
Groups 0
Settings
and the menu is on a straight line.
But as i install plugin for buddypress, they add on to the menu like “buddypress follow” plugin – the followers and following menu item, the menu have no space and it break into the second line and the second line menu item overlap the first line menu item.
Any way to style the menu? like break some distance and not overlapping?
Hi Shane,
Just to clarify, would I simply stick this in at the top of my customised version of bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php? There isn’t any need to modify the scope of the activity loop itself?
And just double checked and the buddypress css is being loaded: <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’bp-child-css-css’ href=’http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/Avenue/css/buddypress.css?ver=1.7.1′ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />
And it’s being loaded after the main Avenue style, but for some odd reason the main css is overriding all the overlapping styles in the buddypress css. Any ideas on how to get around this problem?
I followed the steps here: http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/ but for some odd reason my theme (Avenue) seems to be ignoring or overriding the buddypress css files. (I hit refresh a bagillion times, just to make sure it wasn’t a caching issue).
I’d actually like the reverse to happen where within the content area Avenue’s theme’s css gets thrown out in favor of buddypress’.
Any ideas on why the steps in the theme-compatibility aren’t working?

Forums will be active after installing bbpress
Did you install buddypress pluging and bbpress plugin ?
Because they are different
I’ve tried Boone’s plugin, but it definitely doesn’t work for 1.7.1 – is there another option or possibility of importing previous blog activity into BuddyPress?
@applegateian
I tested it and it works as it should so maybe you need to give more info about your setup because something else is interfering with this function. It could be a plugin as well. Also, have you followed the procedures here in regards to theme compatibility:

Hey everyone!!
I need to show only certain profiles if either of 2 custom check boxes are checked.
I have no idea how to do this. I know WordPress and PHP, but Buddypress is alluding me. I’ve tried Googling but nothing is helping.
I’ve taken the code from Members Loop and I have all 4 members(more to come) displayed.
I thought I could modify the top part of the code like this:
while ( bp_members("custom_field" === "checked") ) : bp_the_member();
Can anyone help me modify that code to show only members that have either 1 of the 2 or both check boxes?

This thread was out prior to the plugins release but now I actually find BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin by @megainfo a more flexible option because it give users a choice as to who see’s their activity. Check it out:

I have BuddyPress 1.7.1 and bbPress 2.3.2 installed, and I have both group forums and main forums enabled. However, my group forums all display the name of the first forum from my main forums listing, and give the ‘contains x topics and y reply’ from that forum as well, yet still correctly displays the topics posted in the group forum. Is there any conflict between the two plugins that woul cause?
You’re welcome. Thanks for reporting back.
This has appeared to work, thank you very much
? what mode are you running BP in please – devil is in the detail we need detail on forum posts to be able to help.
The BP placeholder pages are meant to be empty, 1.7 theme compatibility uses page.php as it’s template wrapper, if you want to customize the BP aspects you can overload page.php with buddypress.php either in root theme or in dir under it named ‘buddypress’ or ‘community’ Check the codex for a fuller explanation.
@dnbrawler Re: unable to see an options to attribute my Forums Page with the Buddypress Forums.
I was thinking of the old groups forums re BP Pages, disregard this, my bad.
The 3rd point you prescribed is what my settings are right now and what is causing the “redirecting” load problem.
Based on your original post above, you have /forum/ not /forums/ as your Archive Slugs->Forums base. What’s in your Settings > Forums > Single Slugs -> ___? If it’s the default /forum/ then there could be a conflict.
Hey, I’m having an issue assigning a custom page template to the Buddypress page (eg Groups).
It keeps taking the standard page.php even after I select the custom page template in the page.
Anyone else getting this?
