BuddyPress.org

I’m very happy with the way Buddypress is being developed and I think those who are doing so are doing an excellent job.

I think some of the people who are complaining about certain features not being present should be adopt a more constructive attitude. Things like member search are fairly straightforward to add yourself with plugins and hooks.

To all working on Buddypress I say keep up the great work, guys.

I deleted it. The issue has been reported countless times already with us asking not to report it anymore. We are working on it.

Change to bp-default theme and see if issue is corrected. If it is, please contact theme author and bring it to his attention. If issue is not corrected, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to isolate the issue.

@sbrajesh Blog Categories for Groups is what’s out there that’s specific for associating a group with a category for singleWP. There’s https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ where you have to go multisite and set/limit the category for that subsite.

You either need to create a page not called “forums” and map that to the BuddyPress Forums component in the set up, or change the name of the Forums slug name in the bbPress settings.

@BuyCampusBooks You do have “allow registering” turned on in settings/general, right?

@derek-melo While, their is no front end interface for it (though, i’m sure afew plugins will popup) It’s VERY easy to modify the admin bar/toolbar in the 1.6 trunk of buddypress.

@jack-v I agree, privacy is a required component that needs to come out sooner than later. Afew people (@cnorris23) have been working on privacy – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

Which bbPress do you have installed? The stand-alone version (bbPress 1.1) or the plugin (bbPress 2.0.2)? Haven’t tried the stand-alone version with BuddyPress since 2 years ago, but the plugin version is working well in current BP install.

Have you checked out S2Member plugin? It’s compatible with BuddyPress.

should be!

For reference, my bp-default child theme header.php would look the same as the one here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php?rev=5003

I think there may be cleverer ways – but a quick fix would be to open the child theme’s header.php and replace the blank line 28 with
“
Then replace the blank line 43 with:
“
This will ‘comment out’ the relevant lines so they could easily be re-enabled later if required.

Otherwise just delete the lines between – you could always copy header.php to your child theme again if needed…

NB: I just upgraded to buddypress v1.5.3 on the site so that is where the line numbers come from…..

1. Find : /images/admin-bar-sprite.png (a number mite be at the end, fine the general file that looks like this : https://buddypress.org/wp-includes/images/admin-bar-sprite.png?d=20111130
2. Edit in photo software to fit your logo in place of the “W”

I added something to your other topic about bp search: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/remove-the-default-search-in-bp-default/

I had a look at your site and wonder if the border colour could better match the main widget footer area.

In /bp default/ default.css there is the following in `#footer-widgets`
`
border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
border-right: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
`
`#e0e0e0` was to go with a white area… It could be overridden, in the child theme, to better match your new colour for that area

Nice one!

I think that should exist more admin bar options.

Because like on facebook, some important features that all users access are on the admin bar, and there’s no custom option to that… Imagine if we could choose what is going to appear at the admin bar like the activity stream as an icon, just like on facebook, it would save a lot of time of admins to change the CSS, functions.php and alot of other files to get what we want!

BuddyPress just ROCKS!!!! But I think if the BP purpose was more simple, several important tools in social networks would be implemented in the project. Think Simple is the key in my opinion…
