BuddyPress.org

If you google wordpress themes, click on the first link (should a wordpress.org one) and then search for keyword “buddypress.” This will bring up all the current themes that are available to you. WPMU sells some, as well. I think for an alumni theme, you’ll probably want to start of my mapping out your site and organizing what information will be most pertinent to your users and then go from there.

Don’t copy over BP Default’s functions.php into your child theme. Just start out by writing your custom function into a new file labeled function.php.

This feature is not included in the buddypress standard installation.

If you are using a plugin, than go to the plugin group of the site and ask for support over there.

@modemlooper, I do not think that CSS is defined in any of the CSS stylesheets.

To edit avatar size, unfortunately, it will edit the size of avatars on all headers on your site with the avatar (members)

go into your buddypress default.css and you will be able to edit it from there.

@Travel-Junkie @nit3watch Did any official plugin ever come of this? If not, would you mind pasting the stable code? I think this would be very useful!

I created a bug ticket for this: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2779

I have posted about similar needs in the forums so I will continue to watch this thread.

it works for me when i type the url in address bar.

But when i type a wrong username password in my login form it takes me to same wp-login.php page which is we all don want.

Please provide any solution.

@desha
thanks! your advice worked for me as well!
cheers!

You are missing some CSS. This is the theme that’s in the WP repo. http://tempsg.com I notice that a plugin is adding @jQuery more than once and this theme is using jQuery to add CSS. Try disabling plugins. Having jquery load more than once can break javascript. Might be the site wide activity widget.

i am also trying it but its not redirecting to the custom page. Please tell me what could be the problem. I will manage the custom php form for login.

Please tell me guys.

Hi Rob, thanks for sharing how you’re using BuddyPress. It sounds like a really good use of the software

I was just poking around for a way to mass import groups into my three buddypress sites.
I would like to create 100 groups on one install, and then import those groups into my other buddypress sites without having to manually create them one by one, 100 times, on three sites. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible?

If your current host is jacking your rates, it will destroy Godaddy imho

You might check out this group on BuddyPress hosting: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-hosting/forum/ It could still use more people participating and sharing their reviews, but it’s a place to start.

The good thing is that you’re site is growing. The bad thing is that as it grows it costs more to host!

That’s awesome Rob. Thanks for sharing!
