BuddyPress.org

“About | Examples | Download” would work MUCH better for the top of this page. (you’d even be able to get rid of those ugly underlines … clearly looks like that UI isn’t working).

It may be what, who, where, but in the end standards work better..

ALSO, one of the tabs should be “FORUM”, since either community or support could work for that.. it confusing as to where to find it.

If you can’t get into wp-admin, rename wp-content/plugins/ folder on your server then try to access wp-admin. This will deactivate all the plugins.

Hi Brajesh,

Apologies, but I’m now lost as to what I should be putting in a bp-custom.php file to work with the default BuddyPress theme to provide a link with a matching navigation button. I’ve tried various elements of cutting and pasting from what you’ve posted, and always end up with errors. (This is probably because I don’t really know enough – plugins were made for the likes of me!)

@holgria – Try reading each plugin’s documentation or their corresponding support forum to find out more.
eg. Posthaste FAQ – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posthaste/faq/

You might have to change the user role to “Author” in order for those plugins to work.

“Bumping a post” means replying to your own post in an attempt to get a response.

add this to your bp-custom.php or functions.php file:

/*Define slugs*/
define(‘BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG’, ‘example’); /* this will show up as http://yourdomain.com/example */

/*Add slug as a root component*/
function page_setup_root_component()
{
bp_core_add_root_component( BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘page_setup_root_component’, 2 );

/*Show defined slug*/
function bp_show_page() {
global $bp, $current_blog;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
bp_core_load_template( ‘example’, true ); /*replace example with the name that of the template you upload*/
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_show_page’, 2 );

/*For extra functionality you can add a title for that page*/
function page_titles( $title, $b ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_Example_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example’, ‘buddypress’ ); /*change Example with what you want the title of your page to be*/
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_page_title’, ‘page_titles’, 10, 2 );

now create an example.php file and add this to it:

get the header with the get_header() bp function

Hello im an example page

testing to see if this works

get the footer with the get_footer() bp function

then upload it to the root of the bp-default theme, it should be at the same level as where the header.php, footer.php files etc.. are
now go to http://yourdomain.com/example and see if it shows..

remember to replace ‘example’ throughout the code with what you want your slug/page to be, the template (example.php or whatever you will call it) that you upload to the theme should be the same as what you call on this line above>> bp_core_load_template( ‘example’, true );

if its working, go ahead and customize as ud like
hope this helps, it works for me, dont know a way to do it through wordpress though as wordpress will load page.php for every page you create so you cant really customize it..

It’s because you’re probably using some other BuddyPress plugins that have not made their plugins BP-aware, you have to disable those as well when disabling BuddyPress.

Hey guys,

What if it’s otherwise. I have installed buddypress yesterday, and I can’t find the widget (or tool) to get the login in the sidebar (just like on this website) On my buddypress (the default 1.2.3. theme) there is only the text saying to sign in or register, and not the username and password fields. After logging in, I also don’t have the ‘Logged in as’ titlebar above my avatar just like on this website.

I’ve posted more than 3 threads about this on WP forum and Buddypress….no responses so far, so please, if anyone can help me on this….

What are you trying to accomplish? You can create page templates and hard code a page.

@r-a-y got it! It worked! Not sure if my browser was cached or something else went loopy but everything worked! Thanks so much man!

@chefdaniel It looks like your running an older version of buddypress. The latest version doesn’t do this odd password thing your running into. I recommend trying to upgrade. Be sure to backup before attempting anything!

@tmort – post the contents of your bp-custom.php file, preferably @ pastebin.com.

“Ok, is there a addin to manage bbpress from buddypress so i can make all the sub-forums, and categories i need? I’ve got a add-on i from here called new bbpress admin, but how do i import everything through that into buddypress on wp?”

No there isn’t. If you need an admin panel, stick with an external install of bbPress.

Um, before i go any further should i change to wp mu or stay at the regular wp?

It doesn’t matter.

So I found that @r-a-y was able to get it working for someone else, but I’ve followed the instructions and still no luck. Heres the link anyway:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/permalinks-setup-with-wp-intalled-in-subdirectory-and-indexphp-in-root/?topic_page=1&num=15

@r-a-y I need a little bit of help with this. My site is officialmancard.com and I’ve got wordpress running in a folder (officialmancard.com/omc/). Same issue as everyone else, all of my BP related links (My Profile, activity stream, etc) all have the /omc/ folder.

I’ve put your code into a bp-custom.php as well as my child themes function.php but I’ve had no luck. Can you offer any suggestions?
