BuddyPress.org

Yes, it’s built into BP. Just type the person’s @loginname into your wall post and it will link to their profile.

Wordpress.org theme previews don’t work for BuddyPress themes, because wordpress.org doesn’t have BuddyPress installed. I think there’s very little chance of this situation changing. I’ll contact the company who runs WordPress.org (Automattic) and pass the feedback on.

Regarding plugins appearing out of date; the BuddyPress core team has no involvement or responsibility for the vast majority of those plugins. If someone decides to stop contributing to a plugin, then it will eventually break and stop working, unless someone contacts the original author and they agree to take ownership of it.
It’s also worth noting some plugins may work fine with the current version of BuddyPress, and the author just hasn’t bothered with a release to update the “tested up to” version number.

Make sure you totally deleted BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

Use BP Redirect to Profile for Buddypress plugin to redirect users to their profile page after login.

I would place mo and po in wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/languages folder

I’ve been trying to send a message to @Travel-Junkie but the BP site won’t let me, so here goes – @Travel-Junkie mentioned he was going to make a custom mod/hack to S2Member to get it to protect groups – did you ever get that to work? I had S2Member working with a bit of code in my functions.php file and it was AWESOME, till the BP 1.5 upgrade, and now it doesn’t work. I think they’re tired of me too, because although the customer support has heretofore been very VERY good, they finally just told me it was a custom hack and S2Member wasn’t designed for groups or group protection. Bleh. I must say that also there are some other functions that aren’t working as of late and the help has been a bit overtaxed, probably because of the overall generally good quality of the plugin. But I wouldn’t really recommend it at this time for specifically protecting BP groups, just since I haven’t been able to get a solution to what WAS working from either the folks at S2Member *or* the Buddypress.org forums. I finally resorted to posting a request for a custom PAID job to fix this, it’s maddening. S2Member doesn’t currently protect my groups, doesn’t populate the correct end date in subscriptions, so really, all it’s doing is redirecting users to a different URL if they’re not logged in.

The help forum has been pretty overwhelmed the last couple of days, I’ve been checking daily trying to solve my own issues

If you’re using a WP theme, you need to make it compatible with BuddyPress by installing, activating and going through the compatibility process via the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. If this is the route you took, double-check in server that the register folder with 2 files within was transferred into your WP theme folder wp-content/themes/yourWPtheme/register

If you’re using the bp-default theme or a child theme of the bp-default theme, then double-check that the register folder with two files within is present in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/register

Closing this — mercime.

== However, in the step 3 of the compatibility process it only listed 11 files to change. ==
True, but the BP Template Pack plugin will be updated to list 16 files which need to be changed per link above https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

== There are still some outstanding formatting issues. ==
True. I have updated code above in two areas above which I have placed [Updated …] info.
1. hentry-content should be entry-content
2. whole block of what to be replaced in bottom of registration/register.php

I have to ask whether you changed style in bp.css of the BP Template Pack plugin because the `div#item-header-content` is missing the `margin-left: 170px; ` and you need to bring that back.

In addition, you need to tweak some styles in your WP theme’s style.css file. Check out the additional tweaks on the BP components divs as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Try putting an @ sign in front of their user name ie @junglejinge

You’re welcome.

== Which file do I edit to get the BP Album profile page to display my style? ==
Not sure. Please post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/ You can refer them to this post if needed.
