How do I select the one-column layout for the BuddyPress default theme? I activate but can find no selection anywhere in the settings.
I realize this is a basic question but I found no way of searching the support forums and Google searches are not doing the trick. Am I missing something?
You type @ then the username like @wakkas or use the mention button on a profile. This is how you post to a user with BP. Also, there are tutorials on adding a post form on a friends profile. Google for it.
hello, i installed advanced custom field plugin and i’m sure i use it properly (i already use it for other sites). but it seems not working with my buddypress theme, in the groups pages.
any help?
@murasaki — you can implement a count on activity updates from a given user — either by creating a custom activity loop and doing a count on the number of items returned, or doing a database query directly (via the WP SQL API).
You’d then compare this against your upper limit and show the status box accordingly.
Will require good PHP / WP development knowledge.
I’m also looking for a solution to this problem, which seems to involve a lot of different plugins and tweaking as you said. Haven’t heard anything about this being a part of BuddyPress core anytime in the near future unforunately. It should probably be a part of WordPress core in that case since BP uses WP:s user functions.
What if instead of sending an email I just want a “New Comments Available” logo to show up next to the link that I have to the activity stream? Currently I have a page where I have various links to other pages. It looks something like this:
-Calendar of Events
-Group Wall “NEW COMMENTS AVAILABLE”
-Documents
So the link that says Group Wall is really directing the user to the activity stream. So anytime there is new activity available you would get that message. How easy would this be to implement?
Ok @mercime … I went to Edit My Profile and changed my profile name to “test” Now what do I need to do to see all the posts I have made?
Mercime it was an good explanation, thanks for the explanation ! Whether the Pages are associated with components in Buddypress ?
Hi,
I want to know that is there any functionality in buddy press that allows user to post on other users profile.
I know user can comment on other users activities and can send them messages(public, private) but i want to allow users to post directly to other users wall. Please help me on this…
I am using WordPress 3.4.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.6
@mahdiar have you done some basic troubleshooting? e.g. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress.to identify what is causing such behavior. Which WP theme are you using with bp template pack?
@mercime Thank you for your answer, but by reading what you linked me, I noticed that I was totally wrong on the words I used : I wasn’t talking about the “widget sidebar”, but of the “admin bar” that is on top of the page. On buddypress’ website, I see the WP admin bar, and that’s what I want to have on my own site.
Then, the answer may be in what you linked, I’ll re-read it to see if I find an answer, but even if I mentioned the Admired theme, I think I’ll get the same “trouble” with any theme (I hope I’ll be understood
)

Thanks, although that doesn’t work either unfortunately!
I was recommended this too (http://pastie.org/4003689) which looks quite similar but neither seem to fix my problem 
@workingman you’re welcome. Marking this topic as resolved 
@frank13 @neononcon just go to your profile here at buddypress.org and change “Name (required)” profile field to something other than your username.
@sindbad_chen might be a theme issue. Change to bp-default theme.
Also my friend on this side bar thing I just re-follow your code It works 100% Perfect but how can I put this sidebar on the left side so basically if I am using the default template of buddypress, I want it to have three columns left middle and right it already has content and right side bar but I am trying to add the left one. thanks bro again.
Okay guys i have installed the default theme but I was just creating a group on my own site and in wizard I was following I saw the buddypress’s name and I was just wondering to know how can I change that I mean how can I remove / replace buddypress’s name everywhere on my site?
love you bro also I have another Question if I may ask? and that is I am using the buddypress default theme and was just wondering how to change the layout and also how to make a front page like a login and registration page which would disallow anoymounus from seeing other stuff. if you would like to take a look here is my url: http://www.buddyswired.com.
thanks my friend.
by the way your above code was awesome it worked perfectly.
For the love of all that is good and holy, there has got to be a way for:
-A member of a buddypress network to invite new members via email, or a unique link that they can share via Facebook, and…
– …have people that join through unique invite links be linked to their inviter so that…
– …if someone want to see who their inviter is they can do so, like going to their own profile and there is text that says, “your inviter is …….”, with a link to that inviters profile.
Simple stuff right? Unique referral links and then a simple code that takes the referral data and puts a link in each members profile of who invited them.
Who here can point the way?
Thanks!
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/instyle/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.
@jomjom No wonder the instructions for compatibility for instyle theme last year was not working for you, the code from instyle’s page.php from last year has changed a lot (see http://pastebin.com/1PcjiXK9 from original poster)
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your instyle theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
Since you’ve revised the BP template files, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server during the compatibility process -> /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run dashboard Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_top') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singletop_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_top’)); ?>
Thank you very much mercime… I found some code to insert to put a favorite button on a post… that’s where I was looking for it to be. I’m happy with the results and I hope that buddypress will include it in their next release so I don’t need the hack any longer.
Okay I hope this is the right place for this post. Anyways I am located in Denver, Colorado and I was just wondering to know if anyone knows anybody or is somebody with good knowledge of buddypress, wordpress, php and everything else who can partner up with me on my project and in return I would let them have the ownership of certain percentage of my rights in my web designing project. this website is going to be a social network but I need someone with the required knowledge, live in Colorado and is serious.
my email is raminrahim@hotmail.com
please contact me if the above description is YOU.
