BuddyPress.org

Codestyling is a great plugin and works with BuddyPress. You do need to translate all instances of the word group since it appears on several places in different .php files in the code.

@blixus let’s work on the alignment first. Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste into pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

.. and here’s a write up on how to use hooks (or in this case filters), to add your dynamic menu item:

Obviously, you’ll have to adapt the code to add your BuddyPress profile links.

You can also ignore the comment about playing with the priority number for ordering (that’s nonsense). You’d have to take the item list (incoming parameter), and manipulate that – inserting your menu at the right point.

It’s not ‘cut and paste’ though, and you’ll need some reasonable PHP development skills to get it set up correctly.

@maryefern so something’s blocking the creation of the bb tables.
– Delete bb-config.php,
– change to bp-default theme,
– deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPPress,
– go to BuddyPress > Forums
– reinstall Group Forums
– check if bb tables are created in DB

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/ could be useful…

I haven’t tried it myself. It does claim buddypress compatibility…

@andrea_r thank you. At the time I answered in my second post, @maryefern ‘s site had the Eleven40 theme and many plugins activated in the site as it is right now, hence reference to Genesis plugin and forums.

@maryefern

1. check if the seven xx_bb_xx tables for the group forums were created in your database when you installed Group Forums, as seen here

2. if the tables are there, then change to bp-default theme and deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress to check if issue is resolved.

“You’ll find the template at bp-default” check
could be in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity

or in your themes members folder as per mercime

cheers

@alexcurrie123 You’ll find the template at bp-default or your theme’s /members/single/activity/permalink.php

I can’t find how to change any of the slugs. Even if I change the ‘group’ slug to ‘clans’ it only changes like 1 thing. There are tons of buttons and pages with the word ‘group’ everywhere. Have been trying to change “group” to “clan” for days, no one seems to know how except the language file method, I guess I have to do that.

I tried doing it this way: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Never worked for me. Is there no plugin where I can just go edit the slugs? Would make this whole thing a million times easier.

You can try this https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Seems excessive to change every instance of the word “group” (it appears A LOT).

@sparklyscotty no problem. Please post any issue you may encounter re fixing alignment on that thread.

@playfetch

1. If you don’t like the themes available for BP, then you don’t have to diss them here.

2. “Search at the bottom that is not aligning and I would like to delete it entirely”
– I see “Play fetch …” text and “Switch to Mobile” link, which could have been inserted by a mobile plugin.

3. Something went awry with your fixing alignment of the BP template files, I checked your Members Directory page and code is showing up instead of content.

@miguelcortereal that issue is fixed in BP 1.6 which will be coming out sometime soon.

Hi muffythechef, I’m a firm believer in when you are starting out no question is silly so don’t worry at all. I’m going to give you a few links which hopefully help depending on what stage you are at of the setup:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/ (sounds like you are at this stage)

Hopefully, that will help.

@jishi and custom post types looks like the way to go for your project. BP is not involved at this juncture so at this point I suggest that you post this at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting and do include the information you just posted so all’s clear with the volunteers.

== I am aware that I should copy and rename the former 3 pages in header-buddypress.php etc and match these with the following two theme pages: ==

@blixus Initial scan of the codes posted does support creating only two files to align structure rather than revising 16 files for your theme. What’s the name of your theme? Did you check if it was already “template-packed” per list near the bottom of this page? -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

What did you do to resolve it? I’m having the same issue.
