BuddyPress.org

Not sure what you mean. I’m guessing the layout is messed up on your BuddyPress pages.
Like I eluded to earlier, you’ll have to modify the BuddyPress templates in your theme to make it look the same as the rest of your site.

Step 3 in BP Template Pack should have outlined these steps. If you have no experience working with themes, you might find this a little daunting.

If you need access let me know where to send a temp pass for you. I have activations turned off, so there is no real way for you to test it out publicly.

Could be possible.
But you’d have to limit the forum thread to one post so you could take advantage of the Disqus system.

Unless you’re thinking of using Disqus in a different manner, bhaveshnayi and Alexander?

I’ve not seen anyone do this.

You can try the BP Template Pack plugin combined with your WordPress theme:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Most likely, some tweaking will need to be made to the BuddyPress templates that get imported into your theme once you use the plugin.

Creating a landing page in BuddyPress is no different than creating a landing page in WordPress.

Like Modemlooper said, what do you mean exactly?

Hi Shaigan,

You have to be specific. What theme upgrade patch did you try?

I’m guessing you mean that you upgraded BuddyPress via the admin dashboard and your theme got deleted.

If you installed your theme @ /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/, then your theme would have been wiped out.
The correct place to put your custom theme is @ /wp-content/themes/.

If you did not backup your filesystem before the upgrade, then your theme is lost.

@antonrsa – Works for me… double check the lines correctly. If it still doesn’t work, let me know.

Glad you like my sports fundraising concept. Initially my focus is signing up sports organizations. In some cases that’s the school, other times it’s a non-profit organization and other times its the overriding association that might have a dozen or more teams. I’m basically trying to build a platform that will work for any organization that needs to raise money. In fact, I’m having some good success with cheerleading, swimming and dance teams right now too. It could certainly work for a tennis team too;-)

I think it makes sense to move to an all BP site. You’re not going to lose any of the previous benefit since BP can be configured to have all the features of your previous HTML pages.

To do what I described, you create a page and assign it a page-template (see WordPress for page template details). The page template can show pretty much anything you want. Then, create a second blank page with the title “Blog” (or whatever you want to call your blog pages). Then, go to Setting->Reading. Set the “Front Page” to the page you created with the page-template. Then, set the “Posts page” to the blank “Blog” page you created. That will make your home page the page template and give you a blog page. I actually do have my blog linked, but only at the bottom of the page: http://givingsports.com/blog/ Plus, I haven’t done many posts yet;-)

There are a couple other ways to do your blog like this, but that was the easiest one I found and it worked well for me.

I’m also looking for a full integration of Buddypress + Disqus.

@jamesmarsland WP-FB-Autoconnect’s coder has released new versions which address this problem and others.

What does it say in your web server’s log file?

@hnla

Thanks. I sometimes do tend to shoot first and ask questions later

The error with the function has_nav_menus() can be easily rectified with a check for 3.0 I’ll look at your code and make some adjustments later.

You possibly ought to have delayed submitting the plugin to the repository until a few checks had been run on the plugin, looking closer at the function I think some adjustments need to be made to the markup as it’s looking like malformed nested elements are rendering.

I’ll try and add corrections later and return to you.

If you simply downloaded and installed buddypress via admin screen… to get back to your “regular” site…you’ll need to go in to your site via FTP (or server backend like cpanel) and delete the entire “buddypress” plugin. This would be in the xxx/wp-content/plugins/BUDDYPRESS

Select the buddypress folder and delete it. The plugin will force WP to disengage it and your site should be back where you were before you started this fun…

@meetsos, if you haven’t solved the problem yet:
I believe you should be able to create a functions.php file in the Randy Candy theme. (Or go one better and create your own child theme based on Randy Candy, so you can benefit from published updates without losing your modifications.)

I doubt I can help much, but I’m sure whoever does help will need more details. Here are a few follow up questions for you.

How did you try to install buddypress, exactly? Did you add the plugin from wp-admin or by uploading to the plugins directory via ftp? Were you able to activate the buddypress plugin? i.e., when you say you just “tried to install” it, is that because it gave some error directly (and therefore you never saw buddypress in action at all or altered the default settings), or because you haven’t been able to log into wordpress since then?

Hopefully with some more details, one of the generous wp/bp gurus on here will be able to sort you out.

@travel-junkie Method worked for me with 2.9.2, I just upgraded to 3.0.1 and now is not working. anyone experiencing the same?
