BuddyPress.org

I installed BuddyPress. I was told I had to select another theme or update the one I was using, which was 2011. I was given two themes to choose from, the default theme or 2010. I chose to update 2011, and got the same message (select another theme or update current) as well as a message about widgets.

I am trying to create some BuddyPress pages (forum, groups, etc.,) but when I try to go to them, all I get are blank pages.

My first question is, does the 2011 theme work with BP?
My second question is, if so, how do I proceed?

I remember seeing a post mentioning that in an upcoming patch to BuddyPress there will be changes to allow capital letters in usernames. Is this still the case? I’ve got some antsy users that want to change their name to have uppercase letters.

It might just be me, but no matter what I type in the search box on the BuddyPress site I always get the same result: http://buddypress.org/?s

I do not know but I had the feeling that when you installed BuddyPress so everything was fixed automatically as pages and forums, etc. Or is it something I just thought would be so? I have followed the guide for the installation but I get only blank pages of the pages that are created.

Another thing is that with Permalinks, I select a different than the defult but then I get “page not found” and I choose back to defult, then you’re going to the page again, BUT I get the warning from the BuddyPress that I must change my Permalinks .

Do not get it here, what am I doing wrong?

HOW CAN I CHANGE THE COLORS ON THE BUDDYPRESS PROFILE PAGES?? Our web site is here: http://screenwritersdaily.com The problem is caused because we are using a black background with white text.

Which editor can I go into to change the colors on the BuddyPress member profile pages?

@johnjamesjacoby @apeatling can you tell me what the solution is going to be for photos? Will it be a plugin and which plugin? The reason I ask is because I don’t want to integrate something that will be abandoned later on. I want the best solution for posting photos.

Thank you for your time

I have the latest version on buddypress
I have the latest version of BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
I have the latest version of BuddyPress Private Community ( all at default install)
I have the latest version of wordpress

when I try and send a “Private Message” I get sent to a page that says “Oops! This link appears to be broken.” however when I check my sent box the message is sent to the member. How can I fix the the page that says: “Oops! This link appears to be broken.” from not happening.

And if you can provide a download link that’d be beast
Many Thanks,

I know that this has been covered elsewhere, but I have tried all the changes to bp-custom.php in this thread : http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/?topic_page=1&num=15 and haven’t had any success.

Can anyone help me with this? Please?

Hi, I’d love some advice on the best way to set up a site.
The client already has a WP website, blog and shopping cart installed using Alyeska theme and WP eStore plugin. They want to add a membership area – which will done using WP eMember also from Tips&TricksHQ.
There will be a free membership level that provides access to a forum (bbPress).
Paid Member level 1 will have access to the free forum, some premium content (pages protected by eMember) and some private forums.
Paid Member Level 2 will inherit all of level 1 plus will have other private forums and will probably use the Courseware plugin for ecourses.

I haven’t used BuddyPress before, but the client is very keen to use it.

What is the best approach to take to achieve everything they want? I’m comfortable with setting up eMember to manage access to the forum and premium content, but how do I control which member levels can see which forums?

Is it best to install it directly into the existing site or create a subdomain for the membership area?

Will it work with the Alyeska theme and if not what do I do to make it work?

I know that is a lot of questions, but I will be eternally grateful for any adivce you can share. I want to set this up properly from the start – so guidance on how best to structure it will be most appreciated. Thanks!
