@p2ab BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory per your link above https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
Buddypress’s should work like facebooks but doesn’t so why is that such a hard feature to get? You finally got profile privacy right, so why not activity privacy?
Is there anyone who knows how to get this done? @naijaping did it on his BP site and I want to do the same please! What is the best course of action to accomplish this?
Wordpress: 3.5.1
buddypress: 1.6.4
site url: http://alchemy-tm.com/register/
The problem is that, I can’t see any field under the “profile details” section.
because of that my register page is not working. when i click on submit nothing happens.
I have customized the register page to fit my custom theme. I have also tried the default buddypress theme to check if it shows there. but it doesn’t.
i have the same setup on my local server. Where i have wordpress 3.5 and there i can see the “name(required)” filed under profile details.
I don’t know how to solve it. Please help 🙁
Are you saying that you want the notifications to be on the left side next to “My Sites”?
@ljvd – If you can wait a little while, BuddyPress 1.7 will work with pretty much any theme in the world.
That said, the default BuddyPress theme has a pretty solid fluid width that scales well for mobile. It is a great place to start, plus you can rest easy knowing that it is well-supported!
How can i move buddypress ‘notifications’ link to the left of the buddypress bar and add a link beside the “Howdy,yourname”?
I tried this using firebug but this moves the both (‘notification’ + ‘howdy,yourname’) to the left where i just want ‘notification’ to the left.
Hello,
I’m interested to add buddypress to my collaborative blog, sales.eu.org is a blog about sales best practices … if the theme should be responsive and work with WPML, that will be better due to an international community.
So I’ll be interested by your feedbacks about your preferred themes …
Bah.. sorry.. didnt mean harm tbh. Thanks for edit 🙂
@unsalkorkmaz please note that I have edited one of your posts above. No personal remarks/attacks are allowed in this forum.
I appreciate that you want to give users as many features as possible with your theme and I understand your frustration. Having said that, the WP Theme Review Team Admin already noted which he considered plugin territory starting here https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-March/012183.html and more so for the TinyMCE buttons later on the thread.
I supported you in the Author URL in the same thread. While I don’t agree with the TRT Admins 100% of the time, I support them 100% in the above-mentioned plugin-territory discussion. My unsolicited suggestion is to remove the items listed above which are considered plugin territory from your theme and create a plugin specifically for the theme e.g. Firmalite Theme Booster or Firmalite Add-ons or whatever you want. Further suggest submitting a revised theme while your theme is still up in the review queue.
Firmalite is the 13th in theme review queue as I write this. We’ve cleared many of the backlogs the past week and there are reviewers doing some reviews this week. Know that all of the reviewers are volunteers and also know that way sometime ago the waiting time for a review was 3-4 months.
Thank you for your patience.
The simplest ( and imo only viable ) approach would be an app wrapper.
All it does is launch the site in a browser.
Use of a wrapper is usually done just so that an app store listing can be created.
I have a 50 multisite network and I’m looking for a way to integrate some of the core buddypress templates on the child-site level so users don’t have to be “removed” from their local environment to the network root in order to interact with one another, i.e., view a profile, send a message, etc.
The reason I want this functionality is because, for the vast majority of time, a given user only interacts with members on a single site to which they regularly visit. It’s confusing and overly burdensome for the user to have to continually navigate back and forth from the child site to the network root and then back to the child site.
You may then wonder the reasons why I would be using multisite, but just trust me, there are many; the most compelling of which are administrative in nature. In a related matter, it will not make practical sense to use a multi-network solution to my problem.
By default, each child site has a “local” template for buddypress Activity. What’s the best way to create a similar local page for the other core buddypress pages such as profile, groups, etc?
Basically I’m just looking for any practical solutions on how to best tackle this problem because I go crazy hacking up buddypress core files. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I wanted to make my site an app but nothing out there is compatible with buddypress. how would i try to do it myself? What direction would i go?
I understand your concern;

Hello,
I am wondering how to change the Navigation Labels on BuddyPress. Is it possible to add extended text to those labels? In example, if it says “Home >> Community News >> General” is it possible to add the words ‘Uncategorized creative writing’ to the end of that extension?
Thanks,
Anisa
I am using Buddypress 1.6.4 and WordPress 3.5.1. I seem to have an issue with my “Friends” count. When looking at the tabs of the user the “Friends” tab shows 4 users but when clicking on the tab only 2 friends are there. I have seen this brought up on a few different occasions but none of the fixes I found have taken care of the problem. I have even tried to remove the number count completely but have also not found anything that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I agree it can be a plugin feature. But why not theme feature too? Basically plugin dont know if bootstrap style is loaded or not? I will write a plugin to add more features to this FirmaSite theme, like those custom tinymce buttons etc. Main problem is i know firmasite theme is loading bootstrap but i dont know other themes are loading or not. Lets say i load bootstrap for other themes in this plugin, it will ruin theme probably. It shouldnt be a plugin because this feature all demands on what style is loading..
The same addon for the editor should be offered by a plugin, activated from the theme, but not included in it. It’s all the wp strategy. one other way is to test the presence of the addon plugin, and to activate the function if available … but some other places are probably better for discussing wp development ….
On the other hand, that was pretty unfair to refuse your theme submission without waiting the modification …
It isn’t a people issue … it’s a key point to accept this dev. strategy. WordPress is a large framework, you have to accept the rules …
The current wp editor will be just a plugin too, that will be better, but that’s an other point 😉
Naa.. Themes are easy. Esspecially with theme customizer feature. Main problem is wp repo rules [EDITED ~~~ by Mercime. No personal attacks are allowed on this site]. If you have time, you can read this discussion: https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-March/012167.html I can simplify the problem in that discussion: In FirmaSite 1.1.0 version, i added 2 custom tinymce button that makes easy to use special css classes. For example you can convert a link to bootstrap button with just 1 click. You can change a button’s color or size with just 1 click. You dont need to write css classes in tinymce for making your content more useful or better readability. What this tinymce plugin doing is actually simple. For example it adds “btn btn-primary” classes to <a> tag to make it a good looking button. They closed my theme because of it. What did i do? Made user’s content creation easy…
Btw an example of theme usage: http://resimlitarif.com/ This is a turkish food recipe website that my mom is writing 🙂 Just 1-2 little custom css code for header and custom background..
even if … your concept is pretty good …
or perhaps should you join an existing project
working alone on a theme is always a stressful challenge …
@mercime well.. wp theme repo admins are interesting. I dont think i can get approved anytime soon. Check this: https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11449
TinyMCE buttons are Plugin territory. Bam.. close theme as not approved. Now wait 1 more month. 1 month later: “XXX is plugin territory.” bam.. 1 more month again.. Where is full review? How can i be sure if they dont do that like 7-8 times more?
@unsalkorkmaz thanks for submitting your theme to the WP theme repo 🙂
Great project, the Bootswatch option is pretty interesting
