BuddyPress.org

Any update on this problem?

Some point after 1.5, BuddyPress won’t come with bbPress. If you’ll want to use a forum, we’ll invite you to download bbPress (2.0); maybe we’ll even add a link in to make it easy.

As far as I’m aware, currently bbPress 2.0 will posts updates to the activity stream. I don’t think any work has been done yet regarding creating a forum when a group is created (e.g. create forum when “create group” is clicked).

This could be the issue not sure but to run BuddyPress you need to have a capable theme.

Are you running BuddyPress? I know its a silly question but people have posted on here before about WP issues.

Are you referring to a post in the activity feed or to a WordPress post being displayed in BuddyPress?

Do you want to edit the content or the style of the post?

Yes, what wilfil said will change the link color to a darker blue, but if you want more control over how dark it will be you can replace the word “blue” in his code “a {color:blue !important;}” to a hexadecimal value.

After doing a quick google search I found http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html. Scroll down to the color box and after you select the color just copy and paste the hex value from the bottom right of that box. You will need to include the “#” along with the six digits that follow it in your code.

Example:
a {color:#0C19A2 !important;}

To further explain the “!important” exclamation, it just allows you to override CSS properties already assigned to an element. In this case the color property is being overridden from the default.css blue (which has already been set by buddypress) to your newly assigned color for the “a” element.

Hope this helps!

yeah, I’m saying do not use the default themes that come with wordpress. Just to test. It shouldn’t matter but I think there have been problems with using default WP theme and children on MultiSite.

Is your 20 11 parent theme BuddyPress ready? This could also be a problem. If you are using BP Template pack and 20 11 and then trying to use a child on top of that.

You would need to edit the navigation code in header.php BUT in the next version of BuddyPress coming any day now it will use WP nav menus you can edit from the admin.

What post?

@davidtcarson I thought this theme was for use with 1.5?? If so, I don’t know why it isn’t working on my 1.5 b2 install.

Please clarify… is your theme for use with BuddyPress 1.9.2, 1.5 b2, or this trunk version you just shared? Do you have a link to current/detailed install directions? Thanks.

This has been fixed since BP 1.5b2 was released.

The PollDaddy one springs to mind: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/polldaddy/, maybe that does what you are looking for?

Nice job!

Having just migrated my 40k members over from vbulletin into the new bbpress plugin, my next step is to work with adding buddypress.

I would love to read a post someday about what you went through in getting the network setup correctly and any battles you are still fighting. (esp bp related as I have a strong grasp of wpmu already)

I am not on a shared host, but rather run clusters of dedicated servers so cpu/bw is not an issue.

@alfredojp this code below is working for me well (the same as above but exact PHP code without WP-BP destroying PHP codes) and is saving all my fields:

download here:

We only need to find the way how to display those fields publicly in groups-header.php.

@modemlooper – Thank you for your checkbox code I will check it out tomorrow and if working I will implement it into the code above. Checkboxes will help me a lot.

create a file bp-custom.php and add to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

add this code to file:

`<?php
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
?>`
