Have you installed the BP template pack and modified the BP files to match your themes markup?

Best place to start is to read over this guide:

@nuhammadrid

Try wrapping the code in the plugin’s main file with a conditional so it only executes on the main site.

“

Or you could do something similar to exclude selected sites. Check the codex for available tags: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/

@Brandon Allen and @r-a-y,

Suddenly bb_add_topic_tags() stopped working.

How I isolated the problem: In function cg_postcatagory( $post_id = false ), I subbed out bb_add_topic_tags() with echo $postmeta (in a foreach loop) and upon posting a new post, it displayed the categories that I wanted saved to the database. So I know that bb_add_topic_tags() is getting the categories, but it just isn’t doing anything with them.

I’m going to install an older version of wp on my test server to see if the upgrade is what borked it. Because that’s the only thing I can think of at this point.

This function is literally the backbone of my site, and I was all set to launch too. If anybody could help me out I’d appreciate it.

the widget widths are set with CSS, but usually the div#sidebar width is set and that controls the widget width, for example here on buddypress.org:
`
div#sidebar {
width: 224px;
}

@pinhit

The file you want to edit is members/single/home
Make sure you edit the file in your child-theme, not bp-default, or you will lose your changes when you update Buddypress.
Add the following just after the opening padder div tag (change the text to suit your site/users):

`

`

Then add this to close the conditional just before the closing padder div tag:

I was able to hack this plugin to accomplish most of what I needed:

You have to edit the array in the plugin file to use your buddypress profile fields (you can add or delete), but other than that, pretty slick.

You should be able to follow this tutorial.

@kenny, its better you create a child theme as when you upgrade the default theme which you are currently using, you will loose most of your customization.

see my site : http://www.naijaping.com/

i created that child theme and i have changed whats new to my liking

I don’t have that either in the new version of buddypress

You can try to edit the translation file (.MO). That can be more convenient if you plan to customize many of the strings and terms used by buddypress (such “Friend”, “Group”, “activity”, etc)

@pinhit You have effectively asked this question twice, please try and keep to one thread .

You could try the technique mentioned here

but you are probably better off creating your own custom language file as described in: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

phpBB would be a different beast altogether because unlike Mingle Forums which is a WP plugin and shares userbase, you have to use a plugin which is not updated regularly to bridge WP and phpBB. If you’re using BuddyPress, better and much easier to use bundled bbPress forums.

@T3Kaos yes, I saw your response and asked some questions there.
