=== two themes on the same wordpress install ===
If you mean use two themes for a single WP install or a single site of a WP multisite install. No. I seem to recall a plugin that was supposed to do that a long time ago, but I doubt if it had even been upgraded nor if it will work with BuddyPress.
What can be done right now is to create a child theme of bp-default then copy over the “regular” WP pages from bp-default theme into your child theme like index.php, page.php, single.php etc. and call a different header, footer, sidebar and even styling for those specific pages.
I got it work with the tutorial in buddydev: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-the-sitewide-globalunified-search-page-for-your-buddypress-theme/
I just made one function more:
`function bpmag_show_activity_search(){
?>
<?php
}
add_action(“advance-search”,”bpmag_show_activity_search”,10);`
Bye.
Piece of cake. Just visit https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ and follow the instructions.
Using the free app PoEdit, it’s easy to revise your labels without hacking core files.

thanks for pointing, @onyx808 .
@imjscn I tried using that plugin but it seem to make all pages run very slow. I know how to call on the functions of the profile field i just dont know how to make it display for the current forum poster.
I have this issue as well. Just migrated from a shared hosting environment to a VPS. This is the only change I’ve made. My stats:
Wordpress 3.1
Buddypress 1.2.8
Default Favicons
Root Directory
Core files untouched
Plugins:
BuddyPress Template Pack
W3 Total Cache with Object Cache & Minify active
BP-Album+
MarkItUp RTE (manual JS plugin install)
So the issue is only on some groups. On both groups that work properly and don’t, there are no obviously problematic HTML validation errors. On the groups that are problematic, MarkItUp doesn’t appear on the textarea, and when “reply” is clicked, the page reloads (hashtag visible), and no comment box appears. Oddness. Thoughts?
first I have a custom home.php file where I put the activity loop
wrapped the loop with a div class activity-slide
activity loop can be found here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
Then loaded jcarousellite like this:
$(“.activity-slide”).jCarouselLite({
auto: 800,
speed: 1000
});
you can find more info about jcarousellite here http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/index.php
@merciime The tutorials you linked to shows how to make buddypress pages look like the wordpress theme. What I want to accomplish is to have my regular wordress pages have it’s own theme, and use the default buddypress theme (that comes bundled with the plugin) for BP specific pages. In essence I want to use two themes on the same wordpress install.
@nit3watch that’s useful thanks. But my normal login still shows up above, and my facebook login too. Is there a way to remove the normal buddypress login and have the facebook login bar below the ajax login?
Hope you do well with this, I would also be interested in using this.
I’m sure many others would too!
@edinchez Glad you fixed it. Perhaps you’d like to share how you resolved the issue for others who might be searching for the same kind of fix.
WP/BP versions? Is this a relatively new installation (2 weeks)?
Check Settings > Privacy of the Blog visited which causes the log out behavior. If you added the “More Privacy Options plugin” or “Network Privacy plugin” the blog might have been set for “Registered users only” etc. which would require log in, hence the forced log-out with wp-login.php.
Have you tried to disable all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme to check whether conflicts in plugin/theme is causing this error?
Hi I am looking to utilise something like this. Any progress?
thanks
@johnjamesjacoby is in the process of upgrading this site. Thank you for your patience.

@el_terko Another approach would be to create a child theme of the Hybrid Framework and install the BP Template Pack plugin where template files for the BP component pages are transferred to your child theme.
I would think that it would be easier to update the template files from BP Template Pack plugin than to upgrade the whole BP-compatible theme you have right now. In addition, this scenario would allow you to upgrade your Hybrid framewok when available without worrying about the upgrade to the BP template files until the next BP Template Pack upgrade.
The script it over 10 months old, whilst it probably would still work, there is a plug-in that achieves the same thing: Login with AJAX
Hi not-so-poor Programmer,
That stuff made my head spin. Exactly the reason why I became a poor designer. I kind of misunderstood the functionality as it seems, and so it is more to prevent dupes in the stream, and for hidden and private groups.
I think the functionality described by me will be extremely useful for bigger communities. I’d rather not start blocking certain types of Activity Stream items (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/) and just show certain items to followers/friends only.
So if you could do something magical to make that happen.. I think a lot of bigger BP communities will be pleased. Or just turn it into a plugin! (HINT HINT LOUD NOISES)
Hi @dwenaus
Please could you tell me which file I have to insert this in as I’m very new to BP? I have a child theme based on the default theme.
Thanks
@Travel-Junkie , any news or status updates on the JobBoardr plugin? I’ve got a potential client asking for this functionality so if some new development input and heavy testing on my part can be of use or if a financial incentive is needed to get the project rolling again, let me know…
hi @onyx808
would you mind sharing some info re how to?
thanks.
