BuddyPress.org

I used this plugin for a one-time, scary users import operation. Not sure if that’s helpful for your issue.

The WP/WPMU/BP members database is a patchwork designed to be as incompatible as possible with whatever else you might dream of using.

i’ll test non-multisite in a sec, but i believe it worked smoothly because

bp_core_get_site_path is dependent on ‘if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ) $site_path = $current_site->path;’ in bp-core.php #1514

don’t get me wrong, someone may come along with an easier solution for u to use.

OK ~ i was able to get the bp 1.2 default running perfectly using a subdirectory install with the current wp trunk I am using multi-site ~ with only one modification –

Make sure your rewrite base for .htaccess is correct in your root and these are also correct.

..and then add this to you wp-config pointing to your subdirectory wp-content

define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://127.0.0.1/~david/test/whatever_your_subdirectory_is/wp-content');

Personally i’ve used and worked with picture album from manoj and I thought that was a very great plugin back in 1.0. With 1.2 coming shortly, I’m finding that bp-gallery will allow my site to do much more that I need for my site. My site is a media/magazine site which will rely heavily on video/audio/photos and galleries and albums will be a core component. I’m a participant in the bp-gallery beta and so far, it supports audio/video/photos and now the issues are really just tweaking and helping with usability. I know that buddydev is an active participant in the buddypress-dev chats and I’m not sure how much development Manoj is doing these days.

I believe the only file required for a child is style.css. If it’s literally just one line of CSS… I’d probably put it in that file. So for instance:

/*

Theme Name: My Child Theme

Template: bp-default

Tags: buddypress

*/



/* Parent styles */

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );



/* Custom styles */

body {background: #cf0;}

uhuhm… actually there are a lot of other places that site_url() is used, so that fix won’t work entirely.

You can just switch out <?php echo site_url() ?> in you header.php and register.php theme files with you blog url.

~ of course it’ll break running the same default bp theme under multiple ‘sites’ (subdomains/directories). This may be a good enhancement ticket so that ~ if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ); $current_site or site_url can run under the blog url and not the site_url

bedo02, followed your advice multiple ways. Been posting quite a bit and would love some code excerpts for how to make certain things show up in the forums. For example, with the one-click, only groups show up, and I’d like to replicate what BuddyPress does here https://buddypress.org/forums (displays “Main Themes”).

I’m able to access bbPress’s admin, but I don’t know how to make the forums and posts made there show up in BuddyPress. Been posting and could really use some code examples.

@MrMaz: BuddyPress does use home.php if it exists in your child theme. It just can’t seem to use BOTH index.php (for /blog/) and home.php (for /). It used to be able to use both.

@Mike: Thanks. All that does however is create a link to /blog/. What I needed was for /blog/ to use index.php.

In the meantime I’ve actually solved this quite simply. Forget all the homepage settings stuff. All I did was create a page called “Blog” and assigned a custom template to that page. In that template, instead of using the normal index.php loop… i.e.:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

which would return posts based on the slug (so it only returns the page that you’re on if you’re on a regular “Page”)… I used this (to return all posts in the DB):

<?php $postslist = get_posts('order=DESC');

foreach ($postslist as $post) :

setup_postdata($post); ?>



<!-- Posts Loop Here -->



<?php endforeach; ?>

@David I just created a page called ‘blog’ (which defaults to ‘blog’ for that page’s slug

The following menu item in header.php:

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) || bp_is_blog_page() &&

!is_front_page() && !is_page() )

: ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a>/<?php echo BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>">

<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

renders a menu item domain.com/blog, just like it used to.

You need to make sure you choose that page in Settings>Reading ‘Posts page’

On further reading of your post, maybe I don’t understand. I just know, what I described produces the exact same results as prior to the change (and removal of home.php)

@David Lewis

Not sure if you are aware that home.php was completely removed from the default theme in trunk? You may know this already, but just wanted to make sure.

If you still have a home.php in you child theme, I am not sure that BuddyPress is even looking for it.

Just throwing some stuff out there in case it helps break anything loose.

What are these set to in your wp-config.php?

$base = ‘/’;

define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘example.com’ );

define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );

Please stay on topic – this is not the thread to discuss plugin pricing. Recommendations are fine but do not accidentally go into advertising for paid-for plugins.

Marking this thread as not a support issue as it is to do with a third-party plugin and not the BuddyPress core. Talk to the author of the plugin for support.

Wow. Really good job. I’m looking forward to the release of this theme!
