For some how the code above did not go through correcty, I will paste the first part again:

<div id="search-login-bar">



<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>



<div id="logout-link">

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?> &nbsp;

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php

if ( function_exists('wp_logout_url') ) {

$logout_link = '/ <a href="' . wp_logout_url( $bp->root_domain ) . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

} else {

$logout_link = '/ <a href="' . $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=' . $bp->root_domain . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

}



echo apply_filters( 'bp_logout_link', $logout_link );

?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_login_bar_logged_in' ) ?>

</div>



<?php elseif ( get_option('users_can_register') ) : ?>



<form name="login-form" id="login-form" action="<?php echo $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php' ?>" method="post">

<input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" value="<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>';}" />

<input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" value="" />



<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" title="<?php _e( 'Remember Me', 'buddypress' ) ?>" />



<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) ?>"/>

<input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onclick="location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'" />



<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />



<?php do_action( 'bp_login_bar_logged_out' ) ?>

</form>

<?php endif // get_option('users_can_register') ?>



<div class="clear"></div>

Hi Kunal17, I use prologue theme as default user theme and I also wanted to keep the login form on top, so I added this to the header of the prologue theme:

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

<div id=”logout-link”>

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?>  

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php

if ( function_exists(‘wp_logout_url’) ) {

$logout_link = ‘/ root_domain ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;

} else {

$logout_link = ‘/ root_domain . ‘/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=’ . $bp->root_domain . ‘”>’ . __( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;

}

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_logout_link’, $logout_link );

?>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_login_bar_logged_in’ ) ?>

</div>

<?php elseif ( get_option(‘users_can_register’) ) : ?>

<form name=”login-form” id=”login-form” action=”<?php echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-login.php’ ?>” method=”post”>

<input type=”text” name=”log” id=”user_login” value=”<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>’) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ‘<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>’;}” />

<input type=”password” name=”pwd” id=”user_pass” class=”input” value=”” />

<input type=”checkbox” name=”rememberme” id=”rememberme” value=”forever” title=”<?php _e( ‘Remember Me’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” />

<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( ‘Log In’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”/>

<input type=”button” name=”signup-submit” id=”signup-submit” value=”<?php _e( ‘Sign Up’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” onclick=”location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”http://&lt;?php echo $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ?>” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”testcookie” value=”1″ />

<?php do_action( ‘bp_login_bar_logged_out’ ) ?>

</form>

<?php endif // get_option(‘users_can_register’) ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

You can maybe replace the

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

part of your header.php file with the first code and I hope it will work for you.

BBpress theme

Theme Name: looks-like-buddypress

Theme URI: http://manojkumar.org

Description: Try to give similar look as default buddypress theme for users how integrate bbpress with buddypress.

Version: 0.01

Author: Manoj Kumar

Author URI: http://manojkumar.org

Just disable blog registrations in your Site Admin > Options panel. And please take some time to do a cursory search of Google or the WPMU forums as this is a basic question and nothing to do with Buddypress.

No, BP doesn’t provide a BB theme. And before someone asks, no the forum theme on this site is not being released. I’m sure if someone invented 30 hour days, then BP might come with a BB theme.

You cannot tie BuddyPress to a blog url. This is not how it works.

WPMU handles blogs, BuddyPress handles the social networking aspect. You can selectively decide which blogs BuddyPress will show or which blogs BP will link to, but you cannot make a blog the parent of BuddyPress.

…when there are possibly more users hammering on the shared box that we’re hosted on.

There are just too many variables to address when you’re hosting a WPMU install on a shared box. It could be your install, it could be the server’s resources are being hogged by a few other domains on that server, it could be, it could be…

This BP thread may be helpful: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-shared-hosting

In case you have not seen this, here’s an article in the BP Codex about improving performance.

If you happen to use a Mac… CSSEdit is amazing. It a CSS development tool that let’s you see your changes in real time as you type your code. Similar to Firebug… except that it’s an actual development tool / editor.

General theming guidance is beyond the scope of these forums as it really is more an issue of learning how to use CSS and WordPress/BuddyPress template loops to create the design you are after.

But, to help get you started, here a few links:

1. Advice on using the default BP themes or Skeleton Theme that comes with BP
2. A great tool to use while designing your theme.
3. Basic how tos on WordPress theme design. NOTE: this link pertains to wordpress themes in general, not BuddyPress themes. But, you should really understand WP theming before you set out to do a BP custom theme.

There is no server-specific data used by Buddypress. Export all the BP tables and import them into the new database.

For specific advice on migrating a WPMU installation, it’s probably best to look at the Wu forums.

I know WP has an Export feature, BBpress has an export plugin, I don’t know about BuddyPress information.

If no one can answer the export information on BP then I would suggest to have both domain point to the same server/folder. Then change all URLs on the admin page to the new one.

If you backup your SQL data it will still point to the old site.

blackarbor, are you hosting it?

Happens to me as well. Are you blogs not working for member accounts by chance? (mine aren’t…)

I’m using the WordPress P2-theme for this functionality. It won’t be integrated into Buddypress like the status update (since it’s a WP theme), but its the right thing for me. You might want to consider it.

…eh?

I was responding to your fellow moderator’s post – “So far so good here, at least with the latest trunk version. I imagine BP1.0.3 will react the same as it did to 2.8.2. “

It’s not exactly like I’ve suddenly started talking about the trunk version when everyone else is talking about the 1.0.3 branch or something…

If I was asking for support with it I would of course posted a new thread rather than derailing this one.

No, this thread is not for discusion about getting WPMU 2.8.x to work with BP trunk. start a new thread if you want to talk about that.

I’ve just tried the latest trunk (as of about 10 mins ago) with 2.8.4a and not had a huge amount of luck. I have managed to get it semi-working, but it’s incredibly buggy. Could well be user error though – will try the process again

Hi!

I’m altering the bp-member-theme to go along with P2. But these two components lay inside of a theme I’ve made with artisteer. There’s a lot of hacking code to make it all work but I’m beginning to like the result.

The reason I’m editing bpmember is that I want horizontal navigation and not vertical. This has been quite easy to edit but has taken me some time. I’ve had no experience with BP before and just a little with WP.

I’ve written about putting P2 in another theme before. You can find it here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/294161

Anyway.. Editing P2 is way simpler than editing the whole of bphome/bpmember. It all depends on how much you want integreated in one “seamless look”.

Best of luck!

This iteration of the site (with the addition of BuddyPress) is a week-and-a-half old and our members are already putting the BP functionality through the paces.

I got the fatal error after deactivating the BP plugin and reactivating it. You have you delete the the BP plugin and themes and/or other files you moved out of the BP folder. (example BBpress-plugin and bphome theme) After all that fresh install.

No idea what’s happening, but my advice would be to disable all plugins, check and recheck the existence of all of the BuddyPress files in their correct locations, and try again?

So far so good here, at least with the latest trunk version. I imagine BP1.0.3 will react the same as it did to 2.8.2.

You need to have the WordPress language files in wp-contents/languages first, before WordPress will give you the option of changing the site and blog languages to something other than default. Once you have the files there, set your Site Language in Site-Admin->Options, then set your blog language in Settings->General.

Basically BuddyPress will follow whatever WordPress MU is set to do, but it cannot tell it what to do (yet).

WordPressMU has a specific way of handling language settings that involves a function that overrides the typical get_locale().
