I am not css savvy. I’d like to change the links’ turquoisey blue to a deeper shade, and the text’s grey to black. I have gone ahead and made a child theme as instructed at http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ – now what do I do?
Ah, got it sported. it was just the permalinks needed setting to ‘/%post_id%/%postname%’
Thanks to Steve bruner for help!
Sorry to post so much, but I found what the problem was. It’s a plugin called “Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack”. It was really useful because I can use MAMP + wordpress on firefox, but it went rogue.
So now here’s the new problem: How do I work on my wordpress/buddypress on firefox? Because now I get this like before:
“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”
The PollDaddy one springs to mind: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/polldaddy/, maybe that does what you are looking for?
@djpaul @Stigmartyr all right, I think this isn’t a permalinks issue. I deleted ALL of my posts, making my homepage naked except for the slideshow (now empty), menu bar and widgets. Now when I click on a page (say about), I get

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
Or should I create a new topic?
Nice job!
Having just migrated my 40k members over from vbulletin into the new bbpress plugin, my next step is to work with adding buddypress.
I would love to read a post someday about what you went through in getting the network setup correctly and any battles you are still fighting. (esp bp related as I have a strong grasp of wpmu already)
I am not on a shared host, but rather run clusters of dedicated servers so cpu/bw is not an issue.
@alfredojp this code below is working for me well (the same as above but exact PHP code without WP-BP destroying PHP codes) and is saving all my fields:
http://pastebin.com/X2tn22ys
download here:
http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=X2tn22ys
We only need to find the way how to display those fields publicly in groups-header.php.
@modemlooper – Thank you for your checkbox code I will check it out tomorrow and if working I will implement it into the code above. Checkboxes will help me a lot.
I couldn’t get it work. These edits will move my content div, but sidebar isn’t showing at all. Any other tips?
create a file bp-custom.php and add to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php
add this code to file:
`<?php
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
?>`
To change other settings read this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Hello,
When we launch a user profile, how can we do to make BuddyPress loads first the profile user with his fields rather than the Activity stream user page ?
Thanks.
No, there really isn’t a BuddyPress commerce solution for each individual.
You might want to connect with @justbishop who has created a Etsy type BuddyPress site http://www.riotcart.com
she might be able to give you some pointers.
I know the wp-ecommerce guys were wanting to expand their plugin but I think there needs to be a complete front end solution for BuddyPress users to sell things.
@djpaul What specifically would you like to see?
Under my htaccess file, I have
bp-maintenance.php
bps-maintenance-values.php
default.htaccess
deny-all.htaccess
maintenance.htaccess
secure.htaccess
wpadmin-secure.htaccess
default.htaccess looks like this:
`# BULLETPROOF .46.D >>>>>>> DEFAULT .HTACCESS
# If you edit the line of code above you will see error messages on the BPS status page
# WARNING!!! THE default.htaccess FILE DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR WEBSITE AGAINST HACKERS
# This is a standard generic htaccess file that does NOT provide any website security
# The DEFAULT .HTACCESS file should be used for testing and troubleshooting purposes only
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

@4ella
What did you do to the original code to make the entry save ?
@ryanITLab did you did it?? please!! thanks!
Hi all,
First, I want to thank the Buddypress community and we published a post this morning doing just that. The post also lays out the complexities, challenges and features of our new Buddypress powered site. Check it out here.
http://activistsandairplanes.com/2011/08/20/patriot-action-network-2-0-mega-buddypress-site/
Second, for anyone interested, we just completed the domain switch for http://patriotactionnetwork.com
The site is entirely built on WordPressMS and Buddypress, and we moved just under 100,000 members from Ning into the Buddypress files/DB’s. Again, I laid out the particulars on the post here
http://activistsandairplanes.com/2011/08/20/patriot-action-network-2-0-mega-buddypress-site/
But here are a few examples of the Buddypress templates we cleaned up and implemented.
Home:
http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/
Members:
http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/members/
Groups:

Have plenty more to share about it all if anyone is interested!

Hi guys,
Is there a way to cancel or re-send request to “Add as a Friend” on Buddypress?
For some reasons, the users of my site have tried adding friends but the other party could not respond to it (it didnt appear on the request or notification page). I think there might be some conflict somewhere with a previous plugin I’ve used before (now new users can add friends without any problem) but the previous friend requests were all stuck.
Please help.Thanks in advance.
@Stigmartyr
I’m using MAMP which is a local hosting application for Mac.
It runs Apache and MySQL.
@esploded – thanks for sharing that info – can you tell us more about your hosting solution? Are you on a linux or windows server and specifically are you using Apache or IIS. You can ask your host.
In my reading I’ve found some guides that might help with that depending on what you have handling your http requests.
I have BuddyPress installed, disabled it’s groups, installed bbPress and I’m using a modified version of the FishBook theme. Yet sometimes the link to the Permalink results in a corrupted page and I haven’t figured out how to fix it.. so I’d rather just save myself the hassle and just remove the Permalink altogether. I tried just removing this snippet of code in activity/entry.php:
‘<a href="” class=”view” title=””>‘
But it appears that isn’t the correct place for it.
This what appears when clicking some of the permalinks that link to activity/permalink/[number]:

This is how it should look:

Upon closer inspection, it seems to be a fault of the memers/single/activity/permalink.php script, where it isn’t loading all the assets or included files of the normal layout. Anyone have any ideas?
I don’t know why it does it either.
But I’ve found that it works if you make the ‘groups’ tab link to: http://YOURSITE.com/groups/?s=
It’s weird, I know.
hi london pings,
i see that you managed to get it done on your website? mind sharing how you managed to get the avatar displayed but not the “profile” and the “update” posted to show warning to non-registered users? i would like to do the same with my buddypress site too (dont worry it has nothing to do with bbm so not a rival site
). THanks in advance.
Hello guys! I was wondering if is possible to transform the BuddyPress Activity Stream into blog posts. What I want to do is to automatically create a blog for each registered user and every activity entry to be posted on users own blog.
Thank you!
Meant @djpaul
sigh.
delete and edit on buddypress.org is not functioning
