It speeds up my site… I’m using opcode xcache for database cache, so my guess is that people using “disk” aren’t experiencing the gains.
I added it but I still dont see an easy way to set it as a default theme for new blogs… did they just hide it with the new 3.1 multsite or somthing? Or did I install it incorrectly as now I dont have my superadmin menu just a way to toggle between network and site admin on the top menu bar
@wilsontray it would work if you create a child theme of bp-default and upload it to wp-content/themes. The script doesn’t recognize path to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default as I recall.
@gregfielding – “Access Denied – The owner of this website (housingstorm.com) does not allow hotlinking to that resource — Cloudfare” 
HAHA no worries at all I should have both the header and page on pastebin.com.
I believe I have it simply under on demand heading and on demand page.
@nahummadrid , thanks for the great input! I’m going to follow the path you pointed.
I still have some question about user stats/Achievement/ratings. When QA site is on sub-blog, can those stats sync with user stats in main site?
About the QA list under uesr’s homepage– since BP can track blogs sitewide, maybe can setup a filter and register a sub-nav item to show the filted result page?
Yes, let user register at posting stage–It saves the additional trouble of allowing guest posting and easier for the listing job.
@travel-junkie / @gregfielding Hey Boris. Where do I de activate this in my settings for Buddyvents?
I don’t have mapology. I’m having the same problem
If you need to hire someone: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/
Having said that, s2Member plugin has a forum, did you join and ask for specific assistance there? Did you take time to read the documentation available and check out their video tutorials?
No worries @mikeytrooper, we’ve all been there before. Post the page.php first and let’s work from there.
EDIT – My bad, now MY face is red. I missed the reason why you wanted to post the header.php — for the navigation links. I can help you there as well.
Cool we can all get our Scouts BP Patch Tester badges
This buddypress site uses google translate – though without a plugin.
Have you tried putting
`
`
in your footer and
`
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: ‘en’,
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
}, ‘google_translate_element’);
}
`
in a text widget?
I’ll bring the marshmallows!
Hmm… kumbaya & patches… sounds like Buddypress Scout Troop #1 is planning a campout?
HAHAHAHA! Well there you go. Ugh embarrassing. OK I am going to post the page right now. Thanks again this is probably like working with a hamster.
There is an index.php and the page.php
== that is what the instructions told me to do ==
@mikeytrooper I wrote the walkthrough and it specifically states page.php or index.php, and content of page.php is what I asked you to paste in last paragraph https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/integrating-buddypress-into-on-demand-wordpress/#post-95018
I believe that is what the instructions told me to do. Like I said I really have no idea hahaha I am just going by the step by step instructions I may be totally off.
Hi Mercime
yes i had an issue with my index.php file which is sorted now and the site is back up, i will have a look and see if i can find the 2 files, i did deactivate all the plugins except buddypress last time. i will try it again.
I am not going to sit around a log fire singing kumbaya and testing patches!
It can be done and I’ve seen it done where the blog is more akin to an extended profile and created on the fly per user but it really isn’t trivial and I don’t have the actual detail and even if I did it would take a lot of explaining, it’s very much a bespoke piece of core customisation – one draw back of a site for every user is that with a moderate user base ~800 -1000 you have a pretty large DB in terms of tables and will need to ensure your server DB is tweaked and optimized as much as possible as backups can fail trying to lock tables numbering in the thousands.
@imjscn you’re absolutely right, “adding something like gravity forms” plugin will be needed for frontend posting by users. although it is a premium plugin, you can also find some free front-end posting plugins that may work. sorry i didn’t clarify that important detail. with frontend posting plugin all your registered members can make posts, er, questions. I’ve also connected achievements very nicely with the setup i mentioned and user stats of Q&A. I really think you could do it with MU install and a dedicated subblog to host yoru Q&A site, unless your main site is the Q&A site.
With the setup i mentioned, you can easily set up a posting form for users to start questions “with there own permalinks” since they are “posts” afterall. Questions list page is just a reworked index.php.
“user’s Q&A’s can be listed under user’s home page tab — this you can do with a plugin if your Q&A is on the main site. If on a subdomain then you can just use the author.php to list the user’s questions and answers (but answers it takes a little more tweaking)
rating system, you can use any of the top post rating plugins available. GD star plugin does good job with both “posts” and “comments/answers” <– to show best answers.
To do all you just mentioned, “registration” is going to need to be required in order to tie Question/post data to the User, with WP you can just set the comments as open to all and users will not need to be registered to answer. But IMHO I always just make everyone register quickly with just the email and name, that’s what they would be entering to comment on open commenting anyway, so why not register them as a user at that point.
your thoughts are not un-realistic at all. it’s doable and been done!
@ds123 I have had a client site run with this set up but I was not involved with the web server or other technical details. I would suggest you post on the WordPress.org forums, perhaps at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced, and ask for information or advice on running WordPress in this way.
Pretty much all the WordPress server advise will apply to BuddyPress (as it’s just a plugin, after all!)
@binary.digits There is no easy way of setting those styles of “patterns” for the blog URLs with the current version of BuddyPress. You may be able to mimic it by using .htaccess 304 redirects but this can be complicated and I’m not sure if it would work well.
BP 1.3 *is* coming – it will not be another nine months. But we have hit some tricky bits, and the core development team has not had an infinite amount of time to volunteer to pushing BP 1.3 along. If you are a developer (or even a savvy user who can test patches or verify bugs), and if you have an interest in seeing 1.3 come along sooner rather than later, head over to http://trac.buddypress.org and start sifting through this report in particular: https://trac.buddypress.org/report/11 The more contributions from the community, the faster things will move along (and the more love and friendship we well all have for each other, <img src="smileys/heart.gif" width="" height="" alt="<3" title=" kumbayah <img src="smileys/heart.gif" width="" height="" alt="<3" title=")!
== I am going to paste my header.php in the pastebin.com ==
You’re welcome. But why header.php? The structure you’ll be imposing on the BP template files transferred to your active theme will be coming from page.php
