B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and at the very TOP of the file above other code, add this:
`
‘;
`
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/snapwire/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
@mumbaipav Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will be only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your snapwire theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your snapwire theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`
<div id="post-” >`
Save file.
I would like help with setting up a multisite with an existing buddypress installation. I am creating a gaming Guild network. Currently I have http://vanhelsingcorporation.com/ as my site. The guild originated for one game, however I am hoping to expand it across many games and all consoles. The idea would be to have what I currently have as vindictus.vanhelsingcorporation.com to dedicate that specifically to that game. For example, if i had a group that wanted to join that plays Halo on xbox, it would be halo.vanhelsingcorporation.com. Each “game” would be set up nearly identically as how i have it now. So, i would be able to view all subsites under one install, and manage all members for their “game” or site. Obviously I would have some pages that wouldn’t have buddypress functionality such as a greeting page. For example global.vanhelsingcorporation.com, xbox.vanhelsingcorporation.com, pc.vanhelsingcorporation.com, and ps3.vanhelsingcorporation.com. Please let me know if there is any way of doing this, and what would be the best way of managing this. I love that wordpress is open source, but it is not the friendliest way of doing things. I think if i want something done professionally, I’m better off hiring someone that does this for a living, but then again, I’m only a kid in high school looking to get my feet wet in web design and programming with Java. Thanks in advance. -Josh
Hi all,
I have task to convert existing community from custom made script to BuddyPress (I’m also checking other community scripts/solutions).
I would like to know does some features of existing community can be applied to BP
1) Currently, members are divided into four Programmes and those Programmes have generations (like 2008, 2009, 2010,..). I have installed BP and there are Groups but without subgroups or something similar.
2) Members have different profile fields depending in which Programme participated (90% of fields are same). Is it possible to make something like this? Is it easier if only admin create users?
3) Community is almost 90% private and activity will be available only for logged in users. Also, some profile fields (Name, Surname, Group and Generation) are available for public view.
So, my biggest problems are different profile fields and more/deeper group levels.
I really like WP and BP, but not sure where to start cause I’m not that good familiar with BP.
I too would like to display author archives in a BuddyPress tab. This is something I have been looking for for a while now. It seems like something that should be a main feature of buddypress since so many people use it in conjunction with some sort of blog.
Thank you @mercime. I was going to try that step first but I did not see those files in either the WP Editor nor in my hosting files. At this point I am either just going to ditch this or perhaps pay someone to fix it for me real quick.
@peppermintmochapatty if you are using this theme, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/first-lego-league-official , you cannot use the second method (creating xxx-buddypress.php) for Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process. Because of the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to revise 16 template files from the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server.
If you still want to proceed with the instruction, let me know.
It does happen to me also with BuddyPress Twitter plugin.
Aye, same here @lwaltzer and we have @boonebgorges to thank for the heavy lifting here
http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ … my workarounds have also failed, equivalently with Twitter et al. as for example at http://scienceonlinevancouver.com/members/genegeek/profile/ …Boone?
Except for my site wide activity, all other feeds are empty.
Same thing on buddypress.org, in 2 different version.
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/rss/
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/feed/
I get it. I just can’t figure out how to use BuddyPress without this site. Arg. Maybe a bigger donation button is needed!
Since upgrading to 1.6.1, Custom Profile Filter for Buddypress replaces the in twitter ids with </a>. I've verified this in a clean local installation with no other plugins running.
Wouldn’t be that big a deal, but there’s no other way that I can think of to get profile keywords linked internally within the network without Custom Profile Filters… if anyone can recommend a modification to the $field_value line in custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php I’d be happy to test this out….
@fadebek1,
Thanks for responding. What I meant is that I don’t know what the meta names are for each one of the XProfile fields.
What I’m trying to do is map some of the fields in my FormidablePro form to the XProfile fields. Thus, when the user fills out and submits the form, the appropriate XProfile fields are updated. That’s the goal. It’s possible… but I don’t know how to do it. Getting the meta names is a good start.
Didn’t see your response, Paul until after I submitted… will look at it.
I’m trying to play around with some stuff in the templates but I’m having a difficult time figuring out which ones control what. Specifically, I want to remove the ‘Author’ and ‘Post’ “headings” at the top of a topic reply (e.g. http://testbp.org/discussion/topic/this-is-a-test-3/). I would also like to remove the tags functionality, this doesn’t look like a setting but I assume I could remove it from the templates. Can anyone point to to some good documentation for this.
The themes I’m currently looking at are
* bbPress (Twenty Ten)
* BuddyPress Default
* Twenty Eleven
* Twenty Ten
Good call to everyone’s post on this thread. We develop online communities as opposed to social media networks. Our site members do not want a media feature. Yet it would be great to see it integrated into a future BP release. Maybe, private groups can have the option of using it?

@sooskriszta – we should have an announcement shortly on a new photo solution for BP – that as you recognise should and does leverage the built in WP capability
OK. It was a general technical issue? More specific – details, could be RAM issue?
We had a problem with the object caching; it was a general technical issue and not specific to any of the apps running.
I notice your BuddyPress “Site Activity” page is loading so fast about 2 seconds. Before it was more than 10 seconds waiting to loading. That is great improvement. What was happened that improve it? But at the bottom of Site Activity page when I clicked the “Load More” and it didn’t load. It was just keeping spin icon nothing changes. It probably started a month ago.
Why?
One day, there might be a hook up to WP media but until then it really is better to allow people options with functionality via plugins. Be thankful the BP media team has spent thousands of hours giving you that free option

It’s needed by pretty much everyone, and hence really a “core” feature.
WP already has some image processing built in that BP could/should leverage. As a member of a social network, I should be able to create my own albums, add photos and videos to them and tag friends and places. That much is really core. (including automatic resizing and lossless compression, and post upload of photos/videos to activity stream)
If BuddyPress Media is good, perhaps it can be merged back into BP core?
Further functionality, such as watermarking, CDN support, user notifications, comments, are probably plugin territory.
Hey @chouf1, don’t cheat.
I have the same codes as you have by searching it yesterday. Do you know what is this codes is for? This is for only members directory page. I need it for everywhere not just members page for usability purpose.
