How can i move notifications from right to left of the buddypress bar?
hi @p2ab,
on BP 1.6.x, a child theme contains at first only one file: style.css
The only thing to add in are comment tags.
/**
* Theme Name: what you want
* Description: what you want
* Version: what you want
* Author: what you want
* Template: bp-default (this is very important: it’s the name of the parenttheme)
* Tags: blue, buddypress, two-columns, white…. (what you want)
**/
default.css is the buddypress main css file and you don’t have to copy it to your child theme.
Also, you have nothing to import ! This is optionnal and not necessary.
Just use the same ID and class names of the parts you want to customize and do your css modifications.
Remeber also that in a few weeks, BP 1.7 will be avaible and will let you use any existing WP theme with the opportunity to spare some long tweaking to recreate the wheel. Perhaps.

That’s what I was afraid of. Moving a large audience to BP soon so I wanted to be sure, thanks for confirming!
So, I’ve activated the plugin, but now when I click on the install wizard at the top of the admin area, I get a message which says, “you don not have sufficient privileges to access this page”.
I have added:
`define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);`
to the config file, to no avail.
arggggggg. Please help.

I believe your report is covered by:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
It’s a gremlin that doesn’t appear for most installs.
It’s been reported in various guises for quite awhile.
I was hoping that forcing a value into gmt_offset would solve it for you. :{
Hi,

hello, do you make iphone/android apps for BP that would allow photo uploads etc from the users phone etc.?
any word on when this will be available to update via WordPress? dashboard isn’t prompting me … (yet)
How can I modify, buddypress theme and what file does needs to be updated to make the “Going?” button on events, points to event’s booking page. I suspect is something like or the_event_permalink.
Hello,
i want to use buddypress as a multilanguage social portal.
all URLs with the origin / default language works exp. /de/members/test
but if i change this to /en/members/test – my server hangs up – firefox redirection error
i have looked in the catchuri class – and i think there is the problem – i tried to change the path if the 2 argument is in the array of en,de or es – then i unset the array[2] – but the same error – is there anybody to solve the problem?
buddypress is very cool but our portal need multilanguage
/en/members/test
/es/members/test
/de/members/test
— another question —
is possible to use qtranslate-slug? for example /en/members/test | /de/mitglieder/test | /es/usarios/test ?
@hnla I suspected that this was probably a WP-Engine issue and that there wouldn’t be much you guys could do. I came here out of hope rather than expectation in case someone on here had experienced a similar issue and had some tips or advice.
With regards to the number of users there are a large number of fake/spam user accounts (I estimate 10,000+) that were registered on older versions of WordPress/bbPress before we upgraded and switched to CloudFlare and WP-Engine which has reduced spam considerably. We have also gradually been deleting obvious fakes but as you can appreciate this is a laborious task.
WP-Engine have refused to temporarily increase the resource limits to see if that enables the BuddyPress installation to complete. At this point I think I’ll try downloading a copy of the site and see if I can run the BuddyPress install on a local LAMP/WAMP setup and allocate 1GB+ to PHP memory.
yeah i doubt your host provides for enough ram to run both in shared (mind you i’m just speculating).
I’m currently using WMPUDEV Membership and considering a move to S2Member. Will this create any issues with my existing users in BuddyPress? site is http://www.presenterbox.com
thanks!
@mercime @hnla @caming I have tested what caming is referring too In WP 3.5.1 BP 1.6.4 as Well as WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7beta2 And there is a bug. If you press “cancel friendship request” then it says “friendship request could not be cancelled” If anything it should just say “accept or deny” just as caming stated. Any suggestions?
Sorry guys, couldn’t find this anywhere:
Stumbled upon this while installing/playing with BuddyPress.
If User A makes a friendship request to User B, and User B happens to visit the Members page when the request is in the queue, he’s prompted with “Cancel Friendship Request” instead of “Accept” or “Decline.” Obviously, that should only be visible to User A.
I’ve tested this a few times and the result is the same.
Is this a known issue?
@hnla This was my advice from WP-Engine:
After extensive testing on the staging site to determine what is causing the errors when activating BuddyPress, I was able to rule out a conflict with all other plugins (including our own) as well as conflict with your theme.
The problem is that your site has almost 38,000 users. I was able to prove this by deleting all users except the “admin” and “wpengine” user from the staging site. Then, I installed and attempted to activate BuddyPress. This time it activated with no error in less than 10 seconds.
I recommend removing users from your WordPress site if possible. If not, then you should contact BuddyPress support to determine how to activate BuddyPress with so many users.
@mercime I’m reluctant to move host (unless I find another host that can guarantee a solution) as WP-Engine are normally quite good and I recommend them to most of my clients. Their advice was to come here for support on this particular issue.
Thanks for the input. I did try it in the default buddypress theme and it works. Its my theme that’s interfering. I did contact them and they are so busy with the new release that it’s not on their radar. I may just install buddypress in another subdirectory and link over to it… just try and make it look similar. the problem their is then I can’t have them share user login’s with both instances.
thanks.
@sbrajesh @mercime @naijaping
This is a rough draft of what I would like to do. All icons functional, and only appearing in header after the user is logged in. I hope this will help explain what I am doing. Thanks everyone!
@mercime Thanks but that is not going to accomplish what I am attempting to do. I can’t find anything in the codex that explains how this would be done either. The codex helped me figured out a lot of stuff about customizing BP but there doesn’t seem to be any documentation about notifications in the codex or on google. Is there anyone you can direct me too that could explain how I can get this done or better yet add some documentation to the codex regarding notifications? I would be very grateful to anyone that can help me resolve this. Thanks for your help!
Thanks @mercime! I will try out pcwriter’s tutorial and let you know how it works for me. Again, you have been awesome!
I have been trying to install BuddyPress on a WordPress (with bbPress) website with over 25,000 users but the install keeps failing and crashing the WP-Admin area with PHP memory limit errors.
WP-Engine have told me that the install fails due to the number of users and they are unable to increase the resource limits temporarily to assist me.
Does anyone have advice on installing BuddyPress with such a large user base?
but it is not working. i have tried so many time
from the previous version of wordpress to WordPress 3.5.1. – i didn’t upgrade buddypress as i had made some modifications to the layout. Everything else works bar the avatar upload/change. When this is changed there is a blank page and hang type behaviour. I’ve tried various permetations of permissions but with no success.
