I would be very interested in a simple wiki plugin for buddypress!

Try this one,hopefully It will help.

Otherwise you can always edit the template file for profile.

Use the defining function option in this post, it works like a charm. I just did it and it was a piece of cake!

Hi,

Things happens here for text:

buddypress 1.1.1\bp-core\bp-core-templatetags.php

Line 697 : function bp_create_excerpt( $text, $excerpt_length = 55, $filter_shortcodes = true ) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed

In the same file you probably find some code for avatar

Same here, and I’ve tried moving the bptheme files to the wpmu theme files directory and activating them there and still the 404 error on everything, All the codex.buddypress pages have gone blank to for installation instructions too so yeah not looking great is it….

This is really cool! Thanks it really makes the blog function fit in with the rest of buddypress! super vet gedaan man

Hm. Hope it’s attainable for me to do this. I’ll igve buddypress a try and report back how i did it – if i did it.

Great idea and I would love to help out in creating buddypress themes.. I’m experienced in making themes, but not familiar with wordpress/buddypress but I think it would be good to have a site dedicated to bp themes only

I’ve put all my website as private. You can make that happen. But then you won’t get any traffic from google. It’s all a matter of how private you want it to be.

I am trying to get an old theme called darkpress theme to work without any success. The home page goes blankm, however the members areas are fine. How can I go back to buddypress 1.1. Where can I download the old buddypress 1.1? The new default theme works fine on the homepage.

hmmm i’m a little late on this, but i wrote a basic plugin for myself to do this. basically anyone who comes to your buddypress site will be directed to the login page, if they’re not already logged in. if they log in successfully, they will be taken to whatever page they had been trying to access ( i.e. not simply the backend editing area, or the front page ). to use it just paste it into a .php file, put it in your plugin folder, and activate

//  whenever a page is loaded, make sure the user is logged in
function catch_anons(){
	global $user_ID;
	get_currentuserinfo();
		$login_page = get_bloginfo('url') .'/wp-login.php';
			if ( '' == $user_ID && strrpos( curPageURL(), $login_page)===false ) {
					$redirect = "?redirect_to=" . urlencode(curPageURL());
				header( 'Location:' . $login_page . $redirect  );
		die();
			}
}
add_action('init','catch_anons'); 

//once they log in,send them to their original destination
function login(  ) {
$first_stop = '/';       
	//if there's no 'redirect_to' send them to "Home.php"
	if ( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] )
		$first_stop =  $_REQUEST['redirect_to'];
		header( 'Location:' . $first_stop );
	die();
}
add_action('wp_login','login');

//build the current URL  wish i could say where i grabbed this, a long time ago...

function curPageURL() {
	$pageURL = 'http';
	if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {	$pageURL .= "s";	}
		$pageURL .= "<img src="smileys/irritated.gif" width="" height="" alt=":/" title=":/" class="bbcode_smiley" />/";
	if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]. "<img src="smileys/irritated.gif" width="" height="" alt=":" title=":" class="bbcode_smiley" />" . $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	} else {
		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
		}
return $pageURL;
}

I’ll be waiting for that plugin, if any, as well.

I also need to see this project through. I would like to have some privacy in my buddypress pages.

Also, please note that after installation you have to transfer theme files from

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes

to

wp-content/themes/

The folders you need to move are:

bp-default

and

bp-sn-parent

If you do not do this, you’ll be getting 404 errors! Read the install directions!

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

If you are making a custom theme, make sure to move the extra template files to your new theme folder!

I’m having the same exact problem as well! Every page is Error 404. Fresh WordPress MU install followed by a fresh BuddyPress install. Error 404 on every page.

Might this have to do with htaccess? Are files missing? (I re-installed, but problem still persists)

As a rule of thumb, it’s always best to state what version numbers you’re using when asking for troubleshooting support, as well as a clear explanation of what you did.

How did you install bbPress?

If you’re using BuddyPress 1.1, there should be a one-click install for bbPress; you shouldn’t have to install bbPress separately.

More info about bbPress in BP 1.1 can be found here:

Sorry if that wasn’t much help!

I’m not on BP 1.1+ yet!

@Jacoby who wrote “I’m curious how many queries other social network sites use on a single page load.”

I was too, and saw that it varies widely — from about 40 queries per page for the commercial SocialEngine script (which now includes Zend fragment and full page caching, very nice) to the mind-blowing 1.364 queries just to show the Dashboard on Elgg as reported in Elgg’s own forum. As for Drupal, it makes a similar number of queries per page as BuddyPress (of course it depends on the number of modules, etc) and with that level it is such a mess that Jesse Farmer, the main developer for Popsugar (the most trafficked social network built on Drupal) abandoned the project and wrote on a developers forum that Drupal is impossible to scale and “it would have been easier to start from scratch”. And bear in mind that Popsugar got $5 million from Sequoia Capital, so they have plenty of money to “throw hardware” at the problem.

@DJPaul, who said “Your post is not very constructive as you haven’t suggested a particular page on a site which interested developers could look into – saying that the entire thing needs attention may be valid, but we need to start from somewhere.”

I am not a coder, so how about starting here: I will pay $500 dollars to the person or team that reduces the number of queries on the main Buddypress blog page to around 20 (which is the normal number for a WordPress blog running the default theme). I am ready to escrow this money on the site of their preference.
