Hi, I’ve been building wordpress sites for about a year now so know a bit but not a lot! I’ve been approached by a client and asked if I can build him a music sharing site where local bands and djs can sign up, have their own profile page and upload and share their music. Is this something that buddypress can do? Would really appreciate some feedback from someone who knows a bit more than I do.
many thanks
let me clearly ask at least one question that would be very helpful in my knowledge and future development of how buddypress is working using AJAX.
How can I create my own loops and use them within the ajax filtering options on the main activity wall?
New user to BuddyPress – all good so far.
Would like to add the code to show a slidedeck on the front page only.
But have been unable to figure out which BP file to add the code to, to achieve this.
Any pointers are welcome.
Thanks.
Have you renamed your group slug to something else? I have renamed groups to classes on my site and that’s keeping it from working at the moment, hoping for a fix from the plugin developer.
It’s not the widget theme this is a bug with BuddyPress CSS
Wordpress 3.3 and Buddypress 1.5…. I’ve disabled all except buddypress locally and it’s still happening…
thanks i appreciate it. i love the theme wanna stick with it and hope to fix the menu.
Please be patient as all those will be addressed. In the meantime, you can use Google to search our site e.g. “BuddyPress.org bollocks187 keywords”. Thanks.

Open up the header.php of your wp-church theme file and copy all. Go to pastebin.com and paste what you copied, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php
I’m not very familiar with HTML but enough to access it and change it. But I can not seem to figure out what the instructions are telling me to do. When I look at the index.php file I’m confused. Does anyone know a place that has more extensive documentation on how to make buddypress work in a third party theme? Or someone I could hire to just fix it for me? Thank you.

Instructions:
If BuddyPress pages are not aligned correctly, then you may need to modify some of the templates to match your theme’s HTML structure. The best way to do this is to access your theme’s files, via FTP, at:
/home/crazy64/public_html/www.hanginout.info/wp-content/themes/wp-church/
Open up the page.php file (if this does not exist, use index.php). Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the
tags that surround the content and sidebar.
You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file.
There are two methods for making the necessary template changes.
The first method is to locate tho following templates (leave out any folders that you didn’t copy over in Step Two):
/activity/index.php
/blogs/index.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/index.php
/groups/create.php
/groups/single/home.php
/groups/single/plugins.php
/members/index.php
/members/single/home.php
/members/single/plugins.php
/registration/register.php
Alternatively, you may find it easier to make copies of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php and rename them to header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php.
Then you can alter the structure of these new template files (header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php) to resemble your theme’s page.php (or index.php).
Why wont the developers update the Buddypress.org site ? I hate to be a spoiler to peoples self indulging development activities but there are many people using BuddyPress that could use a working support organization. After all is it not free and open community ?
To make your WP theme, Delicate, compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
WP/BP versions? It looks more like a plugin or BP theme which needs to be updated. First, change to bp-default theme and see if behavior is corrected. If that doesn’t work, try deactivating plugins to isolate whether the issue is with BuddyPress, BP configurations in dashboard or your with third-party add-ons.
I installed a new WP and the only plugins i put up were buddypress and your theme. Did the same thing. Did you try putting in a sub-menu name with a character length like this? “testing this is the menu”
is there a limit to the length of letters due to a static bg? or should it draw the box as far as the sub-menu title?
thanks

i am looking for Delicate theme for BuddyPress. can you help me to edit it or add link to download?
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/delicate
+ i need karma. is there any for 3.3 wodpress?
+ spoiler
thank you. i will try turning off my plugins one by one to figure it out.
The template files are on the plugin folder, you can change whatever you want.
You have something installed that is messing with the CSS. I activated this theme on my dev site http://dev.buddiphone.com.
I’m not getting the same issue. The widget theme is using the CSS and header from bp-default so it can’t be this theme causing the issue.
Hi @applegateian
I am looking at doing something similar. Could you please share your solution?
Many thanks
Okay for those of you that encounter the error.
1) Install WP multisite, Install BuddyPress and use enable site wide bp_default theme.
2) Make sure you create a menu in the WP menu system.
If you do not have a WordPress registered ‘menu’ then the system don’t work and you cause a PHP exception. This should be easy developer fix in the Buddypress code with a protective statement or catch all in bp_dtheme_content_nav.
Thanks for your help.
HELLO!
I need help regarding my New BuddyPress Installation. I’ve been trying to post a topic to address the same at BuddyPress.org Support forum.
Clicking to “post new topic” on support tab redirects me to community tab where all I can do is reading others’ posts.
Kindly help me know how can I request help regarding my BuddyPress site.
Thank you.
OK, so I have at last found a good way of cleaning up my db when deleting groups (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/cleaning-up-db-after-deleting-group/). The function`groups_delete_group_forum_topic( $topic_id )` is the key to success in this case, and I therefore want to make the same call when you press the ‘Delete Topic’ link.
In the case of deleting groups I solved the problem by rewriting the `groups_screen_group_admin_delete_group` hook, but there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent to this for the ‘Delete Topic’ link. The theme files call a function named `bp_the_topic_admin_links()` in bp-forums/pb-forums-template.php, which in turn calls `bp_forums_delete_topic()` in bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php.
I could of course go the long way and make a copy of the theme file, write a custom admin link-function that links to a custom delete topic-function. Or I could simple add my own code directly in the delete topic-function, making bp not upgradable, but that’s just not a solution for me. Therefore I kind of hoped that there would be some special hook for deleting topics that I have overlooked…
