BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress has it’s own integrated with WordPress users – you can add profile fields and have other control things. In theory they are the same but with additions.

Yes, if you want to maximise what the site does getting a theme designed from the start for BuddyPress is a good step. But, with the template pack as said you don’t have to do that.

Can you provide a link please to see as this probably is because of your theme and can’t really judge until see what you mean by don’t ‘look like a regular page’?

It opens up social networking and other things besides yes. Where the menu item is though is down to the theme and also up to you if you edit files.

You do not have to change the look of your blog you’d use the template pack to allow your theme to work for BuddyPress. There are some files you’d need in your theme but the template pack solves that.

Hi. The same problem…. @zfrost Could you solve it?
Sometimes the ads appear and sometimes not. I tried most of the plugins for adding google adsense to wordpress, and no ones works fine.
I also tried to put the code in to the right sidebar with html text and nothing…
Any idea?

I sent updated themes to WordPress repo and they should be accepted any day.

Ping @r-a-y

2. isn’t a bug. It was changed to show as many years as possible (Windows’s servers displays less than other platforms).

1., and 3 and 4, sound like they should be bugs. Please can you report them to http://trac.BuddyPress.org? You can use your username and password from this site. Thanks!

I know this isn’t terribly helpful for this situation, but I have just reverted back to 1.2.10 and the memory problems have gone away. For now, I can live without the upgrade. It might not solve the problem @echioMega, but I suppose it is nice to know there is an alternative to needing and infinite amount of memory for now…

Is returning to the old version an option for you?

@21cdb and @lucianop were u guys able to resize the avatars?

@abutterworth Please clarify – are you using
a) child theme of bp-default (your custom child theme or from WP repo or other third party child theme) or
b) child theme of sirup theme you posted above (that’s why you activated BP Template Pack?)

Are you using BuddyPress 1.5?

Hi, I have the same issue. I have done all the steps leading up to this point except the second part of these instructions..

“2. Alternatively, you may find it easier to make copies of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php and rename them to header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php.

Then you can alter the structure of these new template files (header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php) to resemble your theme’s page.php (or index.php).”

I tried to follow the instructions listed above but these instructions appear to be slightly different from what’s in my .php files. Please help. I don’t know what it means to “alter the structure of these new template files ( ) to resemble your theme’s page .php.” or how to do it.

The site is http://mybridalstuff.com, Please please help.

Oh, and also, when logging back in after I’ve rolled back to 1.2.10, Full Names are restored as the default display name across the site.

i’m having this problem too! i deactivated the easy albums plug-in but am now getting this msg: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 81 and my site isn’t even loading!

HELP! and Thanks!

I’m having this same issue as well, sort of. I upgraded my production site to 1.5, since all worked well with my test installation. Upon upgrade, all Full Name fields were replaced with the data from the usernames field. So, usernames are displayed in place of the Full Name in the member header as well as the profile section. Only after reading jorge’s issues did I attempt to change the field names.

What’s odd is that in the activity stream, new entries retain the Full Name while replies to entries display the username – even when a user is replying to their own activity. I’ve tried rolling back to 1.2.10 – just the buddypress plugin itself, not the whole database – but the problem persists. Any ideas devs? @boonebgorges @djpaul

@modemlooper I would like to know the answer to this as well – regarding the left sidebar issue…

Thx

I got this same message:

“The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

Suggested for version 1.6 (eligible for 1.5.1 if someone contributes a patch):
