But, without friend feature, we cannot get @mention feature. Anyone can help me with this problem?
You’ll have to make a child theme as mercime mentioned four posts up.
thank you, ya the question was for new blogs… only problem I run into now is with buddypress default if thats what I pick I cant get it to be the default… I tried with buddybase and a few other themes and they all worked perfectly with that line to wp-config just cant get the default to work.
@Mikey3D Thank you very much!
But ensuring a certain theme is always used for new blogs? is that the question? If so in wp-config add
`define(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘myCoolTheme’);`
There was also, and still is, a useful plugin for managing various default settings for new blogs, think this works up to 3.0 but not 3.1 but may be wrong:

@nahummadrid , after some study around the idea you mentioned above, I got an impression that we can also manage it under custom post type. When register the type, register a user role of “Question Creator” and give it the ability to create post. Then, in blog, set “Question Creator” as default role. So, any new member can create new post under the Question type.
If this idea works, a form plugin won’t be needed. Hope I am correct on this one 
@wilsontray With WP 3.1, you’ll find the Network Admin goodness when you click on the “Network Admin” link in topright area of your screen.
After uploading child theme of bp-default theme, you need to go to Network Admin > Themes > Themes > Choose the child theme and Network Activate
Just switched that off. Musta it it by mistake in the cloudflare dashboard. Thanks @mercime
Also should mention…
1. Running WP 3.1
2. WP is a directory install in the roo
4. Upgraded from WP 2.9
5. Had the same problem with WP 2.9
6. Buddypress 1.2.8
8. I have several other plugins installed – LinkWithin, TDOMiniforms, and two custom plugins that have no interaction at all with Buddypress
9. Using a customized theme, although my problem occurs with the default theme as well
10. Core is unmodified
11. No custom fuctions in bp-custom.php
It speeds up my site… I’m using opcode xcache for database cache, so my guess is that people using “disk” aren’t experiencing the gains.
I added it but I still dont see an easy way to set it as a default theme for new blogs… did they just hide it with the new 3.1 multsite or somthing? Or did I install it incorrectly as now I dont have my superadmin menu just a way to toggle between network and site admin on the top menu bar
@wilsontray it would work if you create a child theme of bp-default and upload it to wp-content/themes. The script doesn’t recognize path to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default as I recall.
@gregfielding – “Access Denied – The owner of this website (housingstorm.com) does not allow hotlinking to that resource — Cloudfare”
Maybe Im goin crazy but I seem to remember in MU I was able to set default themes for site wide stuff. Now I cant figure out how to do it. Is there a way to change themes site wide or at the very least change it so new blogs get a specific theme?
Im sure I can do it in config somehow but every change I did screwed things up so if thats the solution could someone please give me an example how… or better yet is there a plugin to do it if Its not an obvious setting Im missing.
Thank you
Im trying to figure out how i can add some more fields to the profile beside each post in the forum single page user-meta.
http://www.skateage.com/groups/skateboarders/forum/topic/this-sequence-blows-my-mind/
that is the way it looks at the moment… If you notice, i have added the users post counts already.
I would like to add a link to send a private message ass well as add other profile fields that have been added using these two plugins:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/extended-user-profile/
and
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/
This is more than likely a very easy thing to achive… Im simply not familiar with how to call on the current forum poster to add the profile info.
I have done an extensive search for the answer to this question but could not find much… if any answers.
HAHA no worries at all I should have both the header and page on pastebin.com.
I believe I have it simply under on demand heading and on demand page.
@nahummadrid , thanks for the great input! I’m going to follow the path you pointed.
I still have some question about user stats/Achievement/ratings. When QA site is on sub-blog, can those stats sync with user stats in main site?
About the QA list under uesr’s homepage– since BP can track blogs sitewide, maybe can setup a filter and register a sub-nav item to show the filted result page?
Yes, let user register at posting stage–It saves the additional trouble of allowing guest posting and easier for the listing job.
@travel-junkie / @gregfielding Hey Boris. Where do I de activate this in my settings for Buddyvents?
I don’t have mapology. I’m having the same problem
If you need to hire someone: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/
Having said that, s2Member plugin has a forum, did you join and ask for specific assistance there? Did you take time to read the documentation available and check out their video tutorials?
No worries @mikeytrooper, we’ve all been there before. Post the page.php first and let’s work from there.
EDIT – My bad, now MY face is red. I missed the reason why you wanted to post the header.php — for the navigation links. I can help you there as well.
Cool we can all get our Scouts BP Patch Tester badges
This buddypress site uses google translate – though without a plugin.
Have you tried putting
`
`
in your footer and
`
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: ‘en’,
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
}, ‘google_translate_element’);
}
`
in a text widget?
here is what i want to do and could use your help. I want to use BuddyPress almost like a dating site but it would match teams with players. There would be no free membership, basically one level for players (annual), and two for teams (one 90 day and one annual). No one needs to be here except for members and what I want is the following:
The home page to be the login page or registration page
If they register, they fill out all the fields I want and then pay.
The TEAM level ONLY would be able to search and see the profiles. No one else. They also would have much less fields to fill out for their profile.
I’ve tried using S2Member and BuddyPress but can’t figure out how to make it all work. Would be willing to pay for help too.
Thank you.
I’ll bring the marshmallows!
