BuddyPress.org

It is searchable
– members (by Name not username), groups, forums

This is intentional. Until a user does something, such as log in to your site, after you’ve installed BuddyPress, they won’t be listed. Why do you want to show inactive users.

Not aware of any plugins that will set the ‘is active’ property on all members for you.

Based on the HTML structure of the Ray of Light theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP Template folders transferred to your ray of light theme folder when you ran Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Download those 6 BP folders to your computer hard drive.

At the top of all the 16 template files per link I gave above, replace:

This is more of a general question rather than a BuddyPress or a WordPress question. I would not worry about 200k. Obviously, the quicker the better. Load some of your favourite sites into http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ and see what you find

Right now, the forums component in BuddyPress is only used for BuddyPress Groups. These group forums don’t use the same version of bbPress that the sitewide forums do.

Are you getting the “forums not set up” message when you go into a group and click on its forum tab?

Thanks, mercime, but I’m not sure I understand. I’m not trying to change the size of avatars in the comments section, but rather in the sidebar for a multi-user buddypress site.

I see that in your code you’re using bp_core_fetch_avatar(). That function seems to produce the same output as get_avatar() for me — which is the avatar thumbnail scaled to whatever size I specify. Am I missing something?

I needed to restrict which user could “Create a Group” in my WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 installation. I was able to do this easily by using these 3 plugins:

BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/)

s2Member (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/)

User Role Editor (http://www.shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/)

For example, I wanted to allow only an “s2Member Level 4” member to have the ability to create new Groups. I did the following:
1. Added user capability “publish_posts” as a new rule to the Restrict Group Creation settings.
2. Selected the role “s2Member Level 4” and added the “publish_posts” capability in the User Role Editor settings.

Thereafter, the “Create a Group” button only showed up for members who were s2Member Level 4. The button also showed up for Authors, Editors, and Administrators…but that could easily be controlled by changing the rule in Restrict Group Creation.

This is what I need to help you make your theme compatible with BuddyPress as I posted above.

Open up your ray of light theme’s header.php file, copy all source, go to pastebin.com, paste copied source, click submit, and post the generated pastebin uri here. Do the same for your theme’s footer.php, sidebar.php, index.php and page.php files.

Only after checking out those files will I be able to make any determination and/or request from your theme developer.

I can see that your BP and WP plugins are activated. From viewing source, I see that you’re using outdated BuddyPress 1.2 version. There have been a lot of bug fixes between BP 1.2 and current BP 1.5.3.1 so at this stage it’s hard to say what’s happening in your installation.

Build a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Size of the avatar in comments is handled by bp-default theme’s `function bp_dtheme_blog_comments`

Create a new functions.php file for your child theme if you haven’t one yet and add the following to the file http://pastebin.com/cSQ1gGm8

Adjust avatar size (I made it 150px for original comment and 100px for replies to comment) then save and upload to your child theme folder. Change avatar sizes to preferred sizes. You would also need to adjust CSS of comments section accordingly.

To clarify:
– You installed WP and activated BuddyPress in physical subdomain buddypress of centennialchristianchurch.com
– You installed and activated BP Template Pack plugin and have gone through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
– For Step 3 of the compatibility process, you need to use the 1st method (change 16 BP template files) OR the 2nd method (xxx-buddypress.php file) to make your theme compatible with BP. You haven’t changed anything in your theme files yet?

Open up your ray of light theme’s header.php file, copy all source, go to pastebin.com, paste copied source, click submit, and post the generated pastebin uri here. Do the same for your theme’s footer.php, sidebar.php, index.php and page.php files.
