BuddyPress.org

You really need to supply more information about your BP installation.

In the meantime, did you try to upload an avatar again using a different browser?

You might be interested in the privacy plugin, to be available in November 8.

“Privacy is coming to BuddyPress on Monday, November 8, 2010.”

Go back to a base WordPress install with the default 2010 theme. Then try to set custom permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

Does that work? Can you go to categories and posts without problem?

If not, it is a problem with your server setup for WordPress and nothing to do with BuddyPress. You should fix that problem before attempting to use BuddyPress

@obakitch You can over-ride the theme files — I guess you can get an events directory, etc. as required; disable the forums; to match the look of your site the edit-form, create and edit pages will have to be drastically re-themed.

For future reference, try raising plugin issues on the plugin group: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/eventpress/

Any day now. Why don’t you vote for BuddyPress in the mean time.

Alright, concrete feedback now that I’ve played with your features.
1) Header image is too small. I would like options to have a larger image. I like 275 px
2) Remove the search from the header. I’d like options to remove that. It’s unneeded for my site.
3) Title. It’s currently behind the gray bar for the buddypress. Move it down?

Now, I’m just learning PHP, been using HTML for years. New to WordPress in last year. Can I make the above changes somehow in the style.php? I hate to make changes and break it.

I like that it uses the custom menus, so much of my information needs to be accessed in it’s categories.

Thanx for the hard work!

never mind, figured it out. don’t use the # mark on the HEX number. Thanx! It’s looking good!

Alright, finding out the ups and downs of your theme. Good work! Wondering though, what code do I put into the theme options for the colors?

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Hm. It almost sounds like the blog isn’t being created completely. Are you running any plugins aside from BuddyPress? Are you able to create new blogs through the Dashboard > Super Admin > Sites interface?

It would be nice if the header image was a bit taller

@conectcahul glad you worked it out.
As an aside, I remember that topic which you linked to from a year ago Just saying, Sitewide tags plugin rules

Could you post an example of your code?

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you’ve deleted this line with wp_list_pages in header.php then you need to add it back,

ok, with thanks to http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ found another starting point:

Put this in you BuddyPress theme /registration/register.php file:

`Account Type:

User Type A
User Type B
User Type C

`

Put the following code in your theme’s functions.php:

`<?php
/* Add sign-up field to BuddyPress sign-up array*/
function bp_custom_user_signup_field( $usermeta ) {
$usermeta = $_POST;

return $usermeta;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_signup_usermeta’, ‘bp_custom_user_signup_field’ );

/* Add field_name from sign-up to usermeta on activation */
function bp_user_activate_field( $signup ) {

update_usermeta( $signup, ‘signup_type’, $signup );

return $signup;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, ‘bp_user_activate_field’ );

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$type = $meta[signup_type];

update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘signup_type’, $type );

}
add_action( ‘wpmu_activate_user’, ‘synchro_wp_usermeta’, 10, 3);
`

This should create selection of account types on the signup page.
If anyone knows how to update profile-loop.php, so that every account type would have different profile group, please share your opinion.

thanks.
