Thank you both so much for the response! BuddyPress 1.7 being compatible with all WP themes will definitely be a life saver for many people, searching for answers I have run across an unexpected amount of people in my same situation. A lot of those people I’m sure and have seen that you two have talked to in the past. Great to see people like your trying to help the unfortunately not as skilled “n00bs” in the community…
I guess I will just continue to tinker and see what I can figure out or stumble across. It seems that most buddypress themes I have run across do not fit the design elements my company is looking for. The theme I am currently working with is called “WallBase”. Have either of you ran across someone trying to implement buddypress into this theme?
I am customising the buddypress member profile page. I need the user to be able to edit his first name and last name, yet these fields aren’t in the edit.php profile page. How do I get the field and make in in an input and save to the database? Hope that makes sense, I just want the user to be able to edit his first and last name.
I’ve tried it again and I am using the original buddypress registration.php – usernames with spaces are still allowed.
Does anyone else’s site allow them to a register a username with a space or is it just me? I do prefer it with a space because it looks nicer on the site.
Hi,
I am using a site with buddypress, the issue I am having, is that I am getting the too many redirects error in buddypress only when I start going into the buddypress sublevels. What I mean by that is:
https://homepage.com/buddypress_installation_folder/ ? works
https://homepage.com/buddypress_installation_folder/members, activities, and so on ? works
https://homepage.com/buddypress_installation_folder/members/member1 ? too many redirects.
I have tried this http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/too-many-redirects-i-cant-access-or-edit-member-profiles/#post-137359 solution, but it did not work.
Do you have an idea what might be the problem?
Thank you so much for your help.
@sooskriszta I’m afraid that if I have any time free it has to go first to supporting my own map plugin which needs work and improvements, sadly time is lacking at the moment, taking on another plugin could involve a lot of work and time which I simply don’t have at present.
Hi.
I need to make buddypress fit into the risen template. I have been asked by @mercime to add some code below:
page.php http://pastebin.com/x8jPVMmM
header-page.php http://pastebin.com/a2XpEEpa
header.php http://pastebin.com/qR82gdNw
footer.php http://pastebin.com/363yDLgV
I do not have a sidebar-primary.php file but there is a sidebar.php which the code is http://pastebin.com/A1a4Ar5H
Thank you
Steve
Sorry for coming up with this again – But I have no idear how to fix this!
iOS 6 allows media uploads. So BP Album+ works. Avatar cropping won’t work until WP 3.5.
@modemlooper …. now that ios6 is coming …. any chance buddypress will put this fix into the core? i think we can finally get off photobucket as our way of sharing photos yes? and this is a tiny bit off topic but what plugin do you recommend for allowing members to share / upload photos? thanks!
Here is the help I recieved on a thread of another’s similar post:
“@mercime said 2 weeks, 5 days ago:
@mariareh64 to make your WP theme compatible with BP, you need to install the BP template pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process. If you need assistance to fix alignment for Step 3 of the process, start a new topic with name of your theme as well as codes (post in pastebin.com) of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php, index.php, page.php and footer.php and post the generated URL’s in your new post.”
page.php = http://pastebin.com/J01iPWdK
sidebar.php = http://pastebin.com/qKHpjCKH
index.php = http://pastebin.com/yfueU9FG
footer.php = http://pastebin.com/4jXx5nEa
header.php = http://pastebin.com/9EgdGe6k
If you need anything else, please let me know. Thank you so much for your time and help!
I paid @r-a-y to fix this for my community. I haven’t tested it on 1.6, but it was broken for me in 1.5.7 before he made some changes. I imagine he may have forgotten to push this update to the repo, or he didn’t want to add another plugin to his support plate. If it works for you great. If it doesn’t, a little cash goes a lot further than “it would be cool if…” with people contributing their gift for writing this stuff and sharing it out with the world.

@twc01 Based on source of your page, you’re now using the Risen theme which is quite different from the Paradise theme we set up above.
Start a new topic and along with the code for the page.php file, post also the code for header-page.php, header.php, sidebar-primary.php and footer.php
What version of Buddypress are you running? Since 1.6 the “Buddybar” has been replaced in exchange for the WordPress Admin Bar. When you initially upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 it asks you which bar you want. Here’s a forum post on how to get it back that might be helpful.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-get-the-buddybar-back/
@theone85ca what theme are you using? First time I’ve heard that the adminbar was removed by the BP template pack plugin. Site URI?
In addition to what mrjarbenne said above, for your reference there are “template-packed” WordPress themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
Just to re-iterate what @karmatosed is asking: you need to assign a wordpress page to the forums: http://screencast.com/t/ssfUP6jqLRWl
If that’s done, and you have FTP access to your site, you could check to see if the bb-config.php file has been created: it should be sitting at the root of your site (not inside a folder like wp-content). There is a link in this forum post to the bb-config file if you need to manually add it:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/bbpress-2-0-2-forums-cant-find-existing-bb-config-php/?#post-129751
As an initial step, you need to activate this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to create the folders necessary to make BP play nice with your theme. I will say that it is still clunky at that point, and may need some massaging. If you aren’t comfortable tweaking CSS, you may be better served choosing a Buddypress Theme, rather than trying to get a WordPress theme to work.
The Devs are aware of this and are currently building Theme Compatibility right into the plugin: you can read more about that here: http://wpmu.org/coming-in-buddypress-1-7-compatibility-for-all-wordpress-themes/ You may want to wait for this if you are integrating into an established site and you don’t want to change themes.
Also, I am using latest versions of wordpress and buddypress
I see the same thing. I don’t know why it’s there, but what I would reccomend is going into your site’s dashboard, going to plugins, type in whatever plugin you want, and just make sure you add “buddypress” at the beginning.
@crazyalcayne I assume you installed and activated the BP Template Pack if you’re using a WP theme. So which theme are you using? We have a list of “template-packed” themes @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
@sceko merge group forum with sitewide forum BP 1.7 or so.
Hey all,
I’m missing the admin bar at the top of the page after running BuddyPress Template Pack.
I’m fairly certain I know why its missing but I just cant find the code to take it out. Here’s the code that’s causing me the issues, or at least I think.
#wpadminbar { display:none; }
Now, I didn’t add this and I cant find it anywhere int he template files. Its not in the header I created and I cant find another one that might be causing it. The following is my header file…
<html >
<meta charset="" />
<title>
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="" />
<link rel="pingback" href="" />
<?php
/*
* Add this to support sites with sites with threaded comments enabled.
*/
if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' )
wp_head();
wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link');
?>
<div id="wrapper">
The rogue css occurs right before to ends. I think that its probably part of ‘wp_head():’ but I’ve no idea how to edit that.
Help?
@modemlooper Thank you for your immediate response, I too look forward to your plugin enhancements.
