Which Frisco theme are you referring to? URI to theme?
WP Theme Repo has https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/frisco-for-buddypress which is child theme of BP-default theme
Yes, it is the one, @mercime ; )
Can you help? ; ) I´ve noticed you helped so many others with the same difficulties ; )
thank you!!!
Awesome. Thanks @yadigit !
This is exactly what I’m looking for! While it would be nice to add an @tag to the Wire, I’m not savy enough to know how to do that. So this should suffice.
Now to figure out how to rename Wire to “Member Comments”. I’ve seen in the readme.txt :
`Changing label for wire, either use language file or use the following code in bp-custom.php
define(“BP_WIRE_LABEL,”Your wire label”);`
That doesn’t seem to work for me. Might be due to my RocketTheme theme. Tried changing the language file but that was a no-go as well.
As you say, it is probably a permissions issue. Change the permissions (Chmod Settings) for the upload directory to 777. You change it in your FTP client. Just right click the file and there will be a change permissions or Chmod settings link.
Nice Site…
but i really got surprised for a moment when i saw 4,503,723 Facebook likes for a work in progress site 
Hi guys,
I got problems with integrating Frisco theme into an existing WordPress-Buddypress theme.
I started with a non-Buddypress WP business theme and successfully integrated Buddypress by modifying the header-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php; the original business theme is not affected. In fact there’s one site with a business-theme and a Buddypress network-theme for the network section.
I would like to replace the current Buddypress theme by the Frisco theme without affecting the current original business theme.
Who can help me with integrating Frisco theme into my current Buddypress theme.
Thx in advance from Kookidooki!

Hey guys, this is beautiful feedback!
QUICK QUESTION! I’m desperate. I am learning more and more about WordPress and how to fix issues, but I am stuck.
I just migrated my site over to a Dedicated server and the process was a bit tough. I have everything buttoned up now, the site is running well (fast) but the only problem I am having is that I am not able to UPLOAD images as the admin, nor as a user??
The image shows that it is uploaded when I add them to pages, but they are blank. I am guessing it has to do with permission? There is no “error” message when I am trying to upload an image as an admin, but there is as a user. It reads:
“Server error. Upload directory isn’t writable”
I am sure this is a simple fix, but I can really really really use some guidance here. As I mentioned, everything is working beautifully!
Thank you in advanced!!
Hi all,
I have installed worpress 3.3.1 on my shared hosting server and tried to install buddypress 1.5.4
But when i activated the buddypress plugin, the site is not working. The server given an internal erro 500. Please tell me a solution
Thanks in advance
I like your theme. Are you using a custom gallery plugin?
I would like to help out some more but I really don’t understand what you are trying to do with it.
Can you give more details?

When you go to the member’s profile page. (e.g http://www.site.com/members/USERNAME)
That is the person’s profile..
it has a tab of their profile activity, (blog, profile info, groups, ect..) it only shows what that user has posted or replyed in.. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you decided to use a different theme instead of the bp-default theme you might run into some problems with the header.php.. ( some themes will already add in a link for activity, groups, ect ect..) but if you are using the bp-default then you shouldn’t run into these problems.
My suggestion, add a few users on your site. Post activitys, make groups and put some content on your site.. Learn how buddypress works and what you can and can’t do with it. Click things and see what they do.
Best of luck with BP.
find a plugin called bp-wire.
Inside of the installing.txt it will tell you what you need to do..
but that doesn’t solve your question.
now adding the @tag into the wp-wire is a different story.
I just think bp-wire should give you a head start

@indyowls
what’s your link to your website?
buddypress share..
it seems to have everything in it..
I went to facebook development page and got the code share..
I then put in the activity ID inside of the code and added the facebook iframe into the buddypress entry.php file..
so users can share it on facebook..
@ashokgolusu
I believe it has something to deal with this piece of code, (file bp-membesr/bp-members-signup.php)
`
function bp_core_validate_user_signup( $user_name, $user_email ) {
global $wpdb;
$errors = new WP_Error();
$user_email = sanitize_email( $user_email );
if ( empty( $user_name ) )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Please enter a username’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
$maybe = array();
preg_match( “/[a-z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );
`
On line 311 you will see
`preg_match( “/[a-z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );`
Just add
` preg_match( “/[a-z0-9A-Z]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );`
that should allow caps for user names.

Sorry… but I would love an answer on this
shanebp. Thanks very much for that. Now I know that it CAN be done, I will have a go with aurimga up again. Their app had the most seemless connection.
modemlooper, aurigma up does upload to your own server, but I don’t know if it goes to theirs as well. I think a native BP app would be very useful! I would love to try it. I assume you haven’t submitted it to the store yet? The app would really need to be free on the store for users of the social network to use, but you could charge a license fee for the webmasters of the sites. The app doesn’t need to be branded to the individual sites, but only a simple no frills UI to get round the mobile safari problem. Aren’t you the dev behind the mobile plugin? Incorporate it all under a premium theme! I’d buy it. Spent too much time already trying to work this all out…
I know this is a bit odd, but I want to set up something like a “member page commenting” system where one user can post directly to another users Activity stream. This way they can publiclly message to another users page and their comment shows up in their stream.
Odd request, but my site is a gaming website where I’d like (and they also would like) members to post to their stream instead of just commenting to a post in the users stream. This way anyone can post and anyone else can reply instead of just using the “@name” system. Because using the “@name” system only posts to the posters activity stream and it can be confusing for new members that might not “get” that you have to reply back with the posters “@name.”
Can this be done? Is there a way to remove whatever code that allows activity stream posting to me made only by the owner of the profile and have it open for all members to post to?
If not, can this be an optional feature added to a future BuddyPress update where the Admin can assign Activity posting to either the owner of the profile or any member of the site?
I want to build a mobile (primarily iphone) photo sharing site for a group of friends. I am currently trying to make it work with buddypress. The problems I need to overcome seem to be the same with any of the other social network builders, but the WP/BP community seems to be better at resolving problems! After a month of trying to sort things out, I thought I may try a shout out to see if anyone is in the same boat, and has any options I haven’t considered.
The two main problems:
1. The site is mainly for mobile, and I can only find one mobile plugin for BP. This is the least of my problems as plugin works. But I can’t find any documentation about how to better style it. And is there really only one mobile theme for BP?
2. Mobile safari on the iphone does not allow photo uploads. This is the biggy. I’ve tried a couple of iphone apps that work as an intermediary to get the photos off the phone and into BP. I can get photos into a BP folder with a thumbnail too, but am struggling with how to get them into the activity stream. Bit too much of a PHP headache for my skills.
With the twitter integration in ios5, I thought I may be able to pull in the photos from tweets which can be sent directly from the iphone camera. But there is the problem that the twitter account really needs to be shared, otherwise everyone will have to set up their accounts to sync with BP, and any personal tweets will all go to the BP stream. Still working on if the joint account system could work.
The other option is to Pull in photos from Flickr. iphone users take a photo with the flickr app, and the photos are synced to the stream or gallery. Again a joint flickr account for everyone would be better. This should be the easiest option, but I don’t seem to be able to get the buddystream plugin to work. I’m sure I’ll get it soon.
Anyone have any other ideas on how to smoothly get iphone picks into BP for friends to view on a mobile devise and download to their own phone? I’m sure there must be people trying to do the same, so let’s pool our knowledge and efforts and get this to work.
Are you using the default WP theme or a custom theme?
I had the same issue (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/feature-requset-global-rename-abilty-for-the-word-group/) and I was given a number of solutions. A few replies down, Paul Gibbs showed how to change/make a new language file. That should work.
My problem was that I was using a custom theme and the theme files had to be edited. Hopefully you’ll find what you need at the link I posted. Good luck!
Hi friends,
How would I rename “Group” and “Groups” to “Project” and “Projects” in buddypress? Is there just a language file I change somewhere? Had tried a few hacks but nothing has worked.
I’m running wp 3.31 and bp 1.5.4
Thank you!!
