I was wondering if BuddyPress has the ability to turn into a comparative (like GasBuddy) community site where there are users but the whole concept is to find the best price in a local vivinity? I just wanted to do something similar. It’d be nice if anyone had any ideas about this.
Thank you for the answer ans suggestion. First of all the support there is almost none and second i think is more related to the BuddyPress functions file. But as i’m not a programmer, i can’t say for sure. So if any BP guru have the time and pleasure looking into this, thank you much in advance!
BuddyPress templates are or should all be namespaced with a top level ID ‘#buddypress’Ā this is allow the ability to create rulesets that target elements that specifically fall under this ID; thus:
#buddypress ul {list-style: none;}
Would removeĀ bullets on ALL ul constructs generated by BP unless the BP stylesheet overloadedĀ that ruleset with something more specific.
Also always check the body element class as BP will place many specific BP class tokens in there that can also be used for creating unique selector stringsĀ for rulesets.
@mercime We perhaps ought to create a ticket on this? Why was it removed in the bp-legacy files template?
@39imagesĀ @bphelpĀ Although this isn’t strictly a required line of text that has to be there, it is perhapsĀ a bit clearer with some instruction – although that could be better done with a little inventive PHP on the textarea value to replicate ‘placeholder’ text.
Remember if you encounter issues like this you do still have the original default buddypress template files in the plugin folder so you can compare the same files to see changes / grab bits of code that have been removed.
@mercime, Thanks for the reply. I just changed my name, though for whatever reason that didn’t solve the problem. Any other ideas on what it might be?
vegaskev, do edit your profile and change name to something other than your username
yes i changed my theme to BP Default, bb-config.php, & wp-config.php matches but when i try to post in groups or go to forum directory nothing is there and i cant post. I reinstalled wordpress, i deleted and reinstalled buddypress, that did not work either.

Marking this issue as resolved.
Please start a new topic about adding a menu and be more specific re Add a menu to the profile page (subnav). For/about what? Or do you mean you want to add a menu link to the user’s profile page?
Wordpress 3.5.1
Buddypress Version 1.7-beta1
bbPress Version 2.2.4
site http://bp.youpix.org
Clean install of WP, BP, bbPress
Using default BP Theme
No group forums.
Permalinks resaved after install
Created a forum “Coverage Questions”
Issue – Forums don’t show up via the Forums link in the BuddyPress Admin bar
So, this style of URL has no method to create new topics
http://bp.youpix.org/members/MEMBERNANE/forums/
This link (which can be accessed from with in WP / Forum dashboard menu seems fine.
http://bp.youpix.org/forums/forum/coverage-questions/
I’ve tried getting Forums to work correctly on 3 different installs but not joy. Why can’t users create topics and see existing forums from the forums menu link on the admin bar?
I’ve followed the video here

I’ve scoured this board. There’s no other plugins installed to cause conflict. It’s driving me crazy!
Hi,
I have found what you mean. The issue is repaired, but I would like to add a menu to the buddypress profile of all users. How would I do that?
I am finding this issue on BuddyPress 1.7 and WordPress 3.4 to 3.6 Beta versions….
I have tried my “www.lbsblogs.com/blogs/create” but it gives me and invalid page. It is only letting me create a blog on the registration page which I want to do it within a user account when they are logged in.
>> text above the status update box that says something like āWhatās New?ā so members know to click in there.
>> I would like to know how to get that back?
@39images @bphelp for that specific item
1. create a new folder named buddypress in your active WP theme
2. within that buddypress folder you created, create a folder named activity
3. download https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php and place it in your new activity folder like so:
wp-content/themes/NAME-OF-YOUR-WP-THEME/buddypress/activity/post-form.php
4. Open up post-form.php. On line 21 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php#L21 insert http://pastebin.com/z8e7xyRZ
5. Add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:
#whats-new-form p {
margin-left: 70px;
}
@mercime To mark as resolved when I go down to the bottom of the screen to edit topic it links me to the home page of buddypress.org so how can I mark it as resolved?
@webifiedgeek change to BP Default theme, you’d find the link to create a blog in the Blogs Directory page, right beside the title, Blogs. Or, create a link in your custom menu to create a blog. Assuming you kept the slug blogs in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages, the link would be http://example.com/blogs/create as simple as that.
Anything is possible š
Firmasite 1.1 released:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11437
Download: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/firmasite.1.1.0.zip?nostats=1
This theme now directly supports buddypress + bbpress without needing child theme.
Example site and my blog that using this theme:
http://unsalkorkmaz.com/
I am having problems with my multisite/buddypress installation. I have it where users can register for a blog upon registration, but if someone just registers for a user account I can seem to find where I can create a blog from the user account. There is a ‘sites’ tab in the BuddyPress profile but there is no option to create a blog after you have already created a user account and no blog.
The question is how can I get a user to register a blog within the user account profile under the ‘sites’ tab?
Can anyone help me please????
Hello there,
I’m using BuddyPress user account type lite and i created 2 user account types. Can i assign a default avatar for each acount type? Using BP 1.6.4. Thank you!
Ah ok, it seems you get redirect if you are already loggedin (found: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/no-register-page-2/)
3/ trying to register but nothing happens?
Thanks, mercime
I used all defaults, including the theme. The new test is on http://p2ab.org/wptest2/
