Just make a child theme it is really simple:
https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
If you make changes directly to your theme it will get overwritten upon updating.
I’m a user of buddypress since 1.4.x
I needed to integrate Buddypress inside a custom WP theme. I did use at the time BP Theme Compatibility, copied the template files into my theme and edited those to fit my main WP theme.
I’ve understood that 1.7 will change the way it handles themes. This will make it easier for people who wish to embed buddypress inside their existing blogs. But how about users like me that already have a custom theme meant for buddypress 1.6.x? Will my template structure remain valid? Is anything going to be deprecated? Should I take some action or review my template?
And how about for people going to build themes for Buddypress? Before they could use the template files as a starting point. If these disappear from Buddypress what should be used instead?
thank you
Very minor changes were made. It should be safe to upgrade automatically.
If you’ve *edited* your current BuddyPress files, then this is a really good reason why it’s a bad idea to edit plugin files 😉
Hi,
is there already a solution to post a (google)map location within buddypress?
I already use activity plus plugin – would be nice to have here a “location button” that automatically inserts a google map with a location pin!
thanks, bergblume
Hello BP <3 Thanks for all hard work.
I have 1.6.4 and now I see 1.6.5 enable to update.
My BP is http://www.cidadesonho.com/
I'm afraid to upgrade WordPress and BuddyPress.
What do I need to update and keep the edited files?
It's always a puzzle when you click that refresh button….
Thanks from Brazil \o/ <3
@chouf1 Ah right wasn’t aware of that prohibition on adding tips and code snippets, last time I looked there were a few. As long as they follow some form of best practise they ought to be ok.
On this basis “nor to learn how to customize it.” then to codex BP loops will need to be removed as they are technically customizations.
Thank you for your invite @umagokhale, but i’m already doing that on the french BP support since 4 years

@hnla,
i added a page with tricks to the Customize Page a few weeks ago. Thinking like you it could be a good help to have such common tricks avaible from the Codex.
The whole Codex staff, included JJJ, fall over my head ! And the page was deleted a few hours later.
Explanation was: the codex wiki pages are difficult to organize, code snippets aren’t always valuable over versions and by this, aren’t usage reference. The BP Codex is a reference, not a place to publish how to use it in concrete case, nor to learn how to customize it. Codex is codex and forum is forum. No comment. 😉
The only thing possible (allowed) to add on Codex is a link to a tread containing the trick. But not the trick directly. Why made simple when complicated can be done ?
Dura lex, code ex. 😀
How about adding some of these tips to the BP codex perhaps?
If you are going to leave links to your site please check those links are correct, also I would advise that you turn off PHP error reporting on a production server it’s really not very smart to announce to the world your server paths.

Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish. Â Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.
Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;
- adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
- selects it automatically
- removing default default bootstrap style from list.
You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂
Hello there!
I am working really hard on my site and making the little changes to suit my site and looking for a bit of help from the experts here if you may. I am hoping to change the little label on the top of my BP screen tabs to something more personal for my community. How can I do this? I added a picture of my desired change. Please help.

please report your bug on trac these support forums are not necessarily monitored actively by the folks that can actually do something about that.

Not sure if this is something possible, but we’re looking to have a buddypress group that when members post to it it updates our Facebook page.
Our thinking behind this is we have a lot of people who we need to allow access to post while keeping a record of who’s posted what without flooding Facebook with 20-30 admins on the
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks 🙂
Account deletion does not disappear if I untick: “Allow registered members to delete their own accounts”.
I have tried Buddypress 1.6.5 and 1.7 beta2 aswell.
Please preview the bug.
My site: http://summonersacademy.com/
This is buddypress installed with the BP compatibility plugin on the iFeature theme.
On the BuddyPress pages (like this one: http://summonersacademy.com/overview/members/activity-streams/) I am looking for the way to modify the background so the text is visible.
Also, I am having conflicts with the Membership Options page as it wont actually load a profile to modify.
Please advise.
@lchief What theme are you using as it’s managing to re-instate the bullets that the buddypress.css sheet removes using a pretty selective and specific ruleset selector group using the parent #buddypress id token.
Try adding this to your themes functions.php
http://pastebin.com/idRVTkAK
I have installed BuddyPress 1.7 beta2.
I have not added any styles to my theme’s style.css.
Why am I seeing this?
How can I solve it to and get the “normal” style?
@hnla Okay I added this and it places the count under the title. Now all I need to do is:
1.) Add name of person sending friend request and messages beside the count as well as the greeting.
Example: You have 1 friend request from USER1, You have 2 messages from USER2
2.) Add avatar of person sending the friend request or message to to left in the drop-down notification.
If you or anyone else can help on that it will be great.
For anyone who would like to use this I packaged it as a plugin here:
https://github.com/bphelp/custom_toolbar
If you would like to help with the code I can add you as a contributor. Thanks everyone!
Tried in
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/styles.css – still not showing.
Also tired
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/default.css
line 1658 .standard-form input[type=text] { press enter and add
to new Line 1659 color: #000 important
Still no registration button?
Any help much appreciated
You will find the default.css in the following directory – just use your domain name and wordpress installation directory.
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/default.css
Rename defaul.css to original_default.css hust in case something goes wrong so that you can revert!
I downloaded it to my pc and then with notepad++ and saved it locally as default.css
about 1/3 down line 508 change the colour code to what you want for displayed links and line 512 change the hover colour to what you want.
Save the file and upload it to where you downloaded it from!
I had a real problem seeing the light blue and changed it to dark blue and the hover link to red. Now I can see it fine!!!
I am looking to see if buddypress can be setup so all users are private unless they are friends rather than seeing everything all the time
