BuddyPress.org

@glepage you can integrate BP into your theme. Install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ At the bottom of that page you’ll find an example of using the 1st method and two examples of the second method to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress.

It shouldn’t be too hard to adapt your own theme using the buddypress template pack and the codex guide

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/ might be useful, particularly if your theme is based on either…

An Alternative to that, and if you aren’t happy with any of the buddypress themes, is to build a child of bp-default. A good place to start is: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

This is not a BuddyPress issue then, but a theme issue. If you change to bp-default theme, I gather that the issue will be corrected.

In all probabilty, your theme would need to be updated to be compatible with latest BP/WP versions. You should contact theme author for the free support which should come together with the purchase of a premium theme.

Thank you @sbrajesh

Thank you @mercime for the mention.
@jainsmo just replied to your post there. It is possible to have rectangular avatar.
do you want to have rectangular avatar for profile but square for groups etc or you want to have square for thumb but rectangular for larger image ?

Hi Stranger. First, congratulations on “integration BP with Minecraft skin system”

Check out BP Skeleton Component plugin as guide – “This plugin is not designed for functional use, it is designed as an educational starting point” https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

You need to go through Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process to superimpose your theme’s HTML structure onto the BP template files . I helped someone with the graphene theme a while back. Check if this is still applicable with the current Graphene version https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/where-are-my-sub-menus/

BuddyPress avatars have always been square since BP alpha version if I remember well
I was going to refer you to @sbrajesh but I see you’ve already posted there http://buddydev.com/buddypress/changing-default-avatar-size-croppedused-by-buddypress/

You might want to check out how @sbrajesh made a Siteiwide Activity Widget as a guide to making it a shortcode http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/

I’ve seen this before when a theme or another plugin is using the ‘wp_title’ filter in a way that causes it to break in BuddyPress. If you can do a find-in-files, let me know what themes or plugins you have which contain the phrase ‘wp_title’, otherwise let us know which theme and all the plugins you are using.

@janismo please clarify what you mean about
– “this theme”
– “old bp-default” and about
– “number of bp-default from the link”

You need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

@fswd wp-config.php along with bb-config.php (group forums installed) should be at the root of where you installed WP/BP.
e.g. Installed WP/BP
– at http://www.yoursite.com/ then wp- and bb-config.php at http://www.yoursite.com/wp-config.php
– at http://buddypress.yoursite.com then at http://subdomain.yoursite.com/wp-config.php
– at http://www.yoursite.com/buddypress/ then at http://www.yoursite.com/buddypress/wp-config.php

Is http://themes.truethemes.net/Karma/ the theme you are referring to?

It doesn’t seem to be buddypress compatible out of the box.

Have you installed the buddypress template pack and gone through the process of making it compatible? ie: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

B. Copy sidebar.php and Save As sidebar-buddypress.php

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

Then at the bottom, below all other code, add this:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`
[ @erica34 – updated code above to add script required]

Save file.

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

Final note: Copy over the stylesheet modifications to contain some BP elements to your theme’s stylesheet https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ then adjust as needed.

To make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you 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 evolution theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your evolution 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 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:

BP 1.5.3.1 was explicitly released to fix compatibility issues with WP 3.3
