BuddyPress.org

@thekmen,

Gotcha. Smart Idea. I haven’t added any BP specific functions yet, but I’ll keep that in mind. Keeping form and function separate is a serious hassle that’ll hopefully pay dividends.

Try https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/checking-buddypress-is-active/

or https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/make-your-plugin-buddypress-aware-v1-2/

Most of it comes down to modifying the CSS style sheets. Check out…’http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp‘

Take a look at the BP Template Pack plugin.

This plugin will try to make your WP theme compatible with BP.

You can also build a child theme from the default BuddyPress theme.

Read how to do it here:

Ha! Didn’t know you could add a TOS as a CC license!

Cool of WordPress.com to offer one! Will take a look at this later.

@motionsw – yes you can use it as a guide for your own.

Here’s the part that says you can:

…you’re more than welcome to steal [this TOS] and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want we’d appreciate a link to WordPress.com somewhere on your site. We spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.

@blackphantom no I am using a standard buddypress default child template. So far there are no mods to the child template other than a couple of css tweaks.

Beyond that everything is the standard setup. I can give you access to the site/db if you need for troubleshooting via pm. Just let me know what info you would need if you can’t replicate this issue on your end.

I have seen this problem. It happened when the username and the nickname where different. The Username was like Admin and the nickname used was molly. In the URL, the nickname was used and it went back to the homepage. If you used the username in the URL, it worked and went to the BuddyPress section you wanted.

I wasn’t sure if it was underlying BuddyPress or if it was the theme.

Any help appreciated!

You can use the regular <img> HTML code to show images.

<img src="YOUR IMAGE URL" />

There are also some third-party plugins to attach images:

*BP-Gallery beta (paid plugin) – http://buddydev.com

– adds a gallery component to BP; you can attach images to groups (and profiles) this way as well

* Forum Attachments for BuddyPress -https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/

– allows you to attach images to forum posts only in BP

– needs some testing in BP 1.2 though; i’ve only tested this a bit in BP 1.2, needs a little work

That’s what I meant. You’ll need to theme bbPress to match BuddyPress.

Before hiring someone for this, I’d recommend finalizing the look of your BP install.

Just my two cents.

BuddyPress works with standard WP, so yes you can use it with your site!

You’ll probably need to use the BuddyPress Template pack plugin if you want to use your existing theme with it.

Like DJPaul said, you should test BP locally to see if it fits your site’s needs.

There’s also another option for social networking on WP called Mingle. Some consider it easier to setup with an existing WP theme.

Hope that helps!

BuddyPress isn’t all-or-nothing; it’s built to let people integrate it into existing themes and websites. I’d set up a test copy of your blog somewhere (or on your local PC) so you can install BuddyPress and give it a test to see how it fits in with your existing content/theme.

Here’s the right place (for now anyway!):

Do you just want someone to duplicate the original BP theme as a bbPress theme?

Do you have a call to wp_Footer in your theme?

I tried to load the latest version of Tweetstream (1.1.6), but I got the same error I had before with v.1.1.4:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /var/www/vhosts/……/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/twitter/EpiCurl.php on line 4

I tried deactivating all plugins except Buddypress, but that didn’t help.

do you have buddypress enabled as a sitewide plugin? the registration is a function of wpmu and the register slug is a function of buddypress. If you have blogs that don’t have buddypress installed as a plugin, they will not redirect the user to the BP_REGISTER_SLUG

Jim Groom as well.

Actually…The child theme will have P2 features with BuddyPress look and feel AND features in tact! It will be mix of both themes strengths. At least that is the goal, once I have a theme for trunk I’ll give a shoutout to testers.

The largest goal will actually to allow wpml play nicely with P2 as we have to support that plugin.
