We’d be interested in seeing your slow query log from MySQL, and any other hard numbers relating to how well xprofile scales with 10 million entries. It’d be awesome if you could create a ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org or send me those details to paul/buddypress/org.

You can upload avatars from profile page. profile > edit profile> change avatar.
Make sure you have in settings that your members can upload avatars.
dashboard > settings > discussion > Avatar display, thick it on.

That type of template overriding wont work yet. You would need to create a buddypress.php file in your theme folder that contains your themes page.php code and then wrap the sidebar with an if is not register page statement.

1.7 is compatible with themes that follow the correct WP conventions if it doesn’t work then it’s the themes fault essentially, and this we have been remarking on and off for a while, this has been the aim of 1.7 all along the betas and RC releases haven’t changed that as such.

You already have a thread started on this subject and a response from @mercime that you need to respond to. Sorry about the user hijacking your thread but you need to continue there please.

Closing this one.

Google around for options. http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/security/best-practices-for-preventing-buddypress-spam-user-registrations/

@jstormthakid not sure I understand the question.

BP is installed and activated, therefore it is ‘added’ as it were, you can’t have all template tags / functions working on any old page things don’t work like that, on certain screens BP has created them thus knows what they are for and provides objects to them on a general page BP hasn’t any knowledge it exists so you need to use bp globals or functions as above that do work on any screen / page.

You’re would to need to find this ruleset:
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: #000;
}

and change the background color as demonstrated but it’s going to be a little trickier than that probably requiring you to copy the bbpress stylesheet to your theme to modify.

This though is a question for bbPress forums not BuddyPress bbp is a separate plugin from BP and has it’s own styles. You will find more info and help on their forum.

In fact you have posted on this sidebar issue 14 hours ago so please continue in that thread now not this one:

@latenightbeeradvocate You have hijacked someone else’s thread here, this is considered bad form on tech forums and confusing as a response is still awaited from the OP.

In future please don’t hijack threads start your own and describe the issues you are having particular to your site.

Well, I did that and it definitely looks better, but it’s still a bit messed up. Can you look at this page http://latenightbeeradvocate.com/lnba/activity , you’ll see that the menu still got pushed down on the right on this page. Thoughts?

Hi, I’m having issues similar to @isisjade

can I confirm that bbpress, will handle group forums as well as main forums on its own? I have disabled the discussion forum component of buddypress, and the group forums r still active with just bbpress running.

thanks

I renamed the three files as BP Compat asked…not sure what I need to do.

@latenightbeeradvocate first, it looks like you’re using an old version of WP/BP since I can only see jQuery 1.7.1 near the footer as the head area is non-existent on that page. What versions of WP/BP are you on?

If you’re using old WP/BP version, then you need to install, activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Then you need to change 17 files from the BP templates transferred to your The Style theme folder in server.

If you have a new installation (not live site yet), you could already use BP 1.7 RC1.
First delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme folder in server if you ran Appearance > BP Compatibility. Then install and activate BuddyPress 1.7 RC 1 and it will automagically render BP pages in your site. If there’s an issue, it’s possible that your theme author made some changes to the templating system. There’s a way to resolve this though..
