Is anybody home at BuddyPress.org?
This thread is 5 months old and asks about a serious defect in the sign up process (we just installed BuddyPress and have the same problem – see Dylan’s question above – it gets the names and avatars, but nothing else in the profile form seems to get captured or saved or displayed).
Can anyone help?
On a volunteer support forum it’s not really appropriate to ask members to do work for free, members are generally willing to help people to work through things but it will always be expected that they will attempt with help to get this done. Of course if you really haven’t the skills then you can take the option to pay someone to do this for you then we would ask that you post a request for paid help in the Jobs Board group:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
I presume you have used the template pack plugin to try and get your theme compatible with BP, have you run through the codex page to see if that helps at all:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
This thread where I stripped out the markup from a BP index file and theme page.php file to show the common markup that requires to match may help you a little?

Ok so I am still really confused on this. Here are the template codes. My page.php:
`
<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('
‘,’
‘); } ?>
<div id=”post-“>
<a title="” href=”” rel=”bookmark”>
<?php wp_link_pages('before=
‘.__(‘PAGES’,’lightword’).’: &after=
&next_or_number=number&pagelink=%‘); ?>
`
And my buddypress activity/index.php:
`
- <a href="” title=””>
- <a href="” title=””>
- <a href="” title=””>
- <a href="” title=””><?php printf( __( 'My Favorites (%s)’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_total_favorite_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) ?>
- <a href="” title=””>
- <a href="” title=”RSS Feed”>
-
`
Would you be able to post what you think it should look like , then I will have a guide on what to do for the other files.
Yeah, BP 1.2.6 works with WP 3.0+.
If you want to test BuddyPress in your current install, go BP 1.2.4.1 – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags – Click on download zip archive link near bottom of page
This could be a plugin causing a problem. Try to disable all other plugins, keeping buddypress only and see what happens.
Also, if this doesn’t help then we’ll need more information about your setup. Please see this thread for the details we’d need: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/
This is a common setup error. Please see this link in the documentation for more information about permalinks: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/navigation-links-return-404-errors/
The documents may help you with other issues you may face as you work with BuddyPress.
PS. Glad the install is now working.
You will want to modify the index.php file in your child theme’s forum directory. (/wp-content/themes/childtheme/forums/index.php)
The form action is the important section to modify.

This is how the page looks: http://www.thechembook.com/tutoring
Important: Make sure you have an original copy (backup copy) of the index file available. Practice locally first. This link will help you with child themes: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Hello!
How does one go about making a page such as http://buddypress.org/support/topics/grouped/ ? I want to replace my forums page with something that looks like this.
This is my first time working with BuddyPress so please be easy on me. Detailed information will be appreciated 
Hi guys. Just downloaded Buddypress, excited to get it up and running. With it’s success I’ll convert my main site from Mingle. But I have an issue. As soon as I activated on a site I was slapping together (hopefully to be big), I immediately got this SQL errer and it’s locked me out of user-interface with the site completely:
……/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 530
PS, could this be because I’m stubborn and am using WordPress 2.9 and not 3? I want to wait for all my favourite plugins to update or be reinvented.
Thanks in advance, guys
@brayne thanks – so simple
Following is a walkthrough of the Motion theme with the BP Template Pack https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/ .
Per example there, you need to copy Retromania’s HTML structure onto the 13 files within the BP folders transferred to your Retromania theme folder in server. Save revisions and upload to server. You need to copy some styling from bp-default and adjust to taste.
@hnla, Sounds like I am ticking you off, and you are trying your best to keep your cool.
The only reason I have been posting stuff to help people is because I dealt with a ton of these problems trying to get buddypress into my custom theme, only from trial and error.
You hint in every single topic I post that you want me to leave your forum, so I guess Merry Christmas.
I managed to do it but the sidebar and contents are misaligned when using buddypress ( BP compatibility ) .
Buddypress templates had some instruction on how to fix the alignment but I can’t make heads or tails on what they mean since the buddypress templates involve divs called content and sidebar but retromania doesn’t.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Free plugin: BP Wire Plugin.. Here’soriginal post with info and features.
Paid plugin: BP Gallery – works with BP Wire Plugin above.
I just moved it all back to the root.
Yes I have that stuff set up, but I got it t work. I just changed my permalinks from default to one of the other options…not sure why that would make a difference but it’s working!
I’ve got WP installed in a /directory with the index.php file in the root of my server. All was working fine. Then I installed Buddypress and it’s links are aiming at the domain.com/directory/… as opposed to just domain.com/…
Any ideas how I can fix this? I’m familiar with WP but this is my first time using BP. So I’m a bit ignorant to it at this point. Should I just move it all back to the root of my server or is there a way I can fix it?
I got this response at the WP support forums: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-question-is-this-allowed-here?replies=1#post-1811820 So I came here to ask.
Sorry if this has been asked an answered.
Hello,
I am looking for a plugin to extend my buddypress Profile Field Setup with uploading an extra avatar.
In short at my weblog people can register, login and should be able to register several products they have with an avatar and some extra information about that specific product.
Is there any plugin available for this? If not, can someone script this for me and at what costs?
@Jeff Sayre,
Thanks for your help on this. I’ve been working this past week… I actually was looking at the skeleton component for clues, but because it didn’t offer an example for a top-level menu item I guess it wasn’t clicking for me. I managed to create a skeleton plugin just to show off how to add a top-level menu item (for learning purposes only) and i’ll post that in the forum this week after I recover from the holidays. I actually learned alot by looking at the skeleton component and Pauls’ achievements plugin.
Hi, I have installed buddypress for the wordpress theme ‘lightword’ – http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/lightword
And the only thing that doesn’t look right is the sidebar is out of place. Would anyone be able to help me edit the theme so the sidebar is in its normal position. I have been trying for hours!
Any help would be great. Thanks

my conf: buddypress : 1.2.6, wp 3.0.1, theme is my own project but with bp template pack,
@gunju2221
I know this plugin, but I’m using External Member Blog Plugin : http://bp-tricks.com/featured/allow-users-to-add-their-rss-feed-to-their-profile-with-the-external-blogs-plugin/
The thing is not about choosing a plugin, but I need display a link only to members which have xprofile named X equal to Y.
I’ve tested with : “
But it works only if I am on member page. And I want it everywhere.
Thank you @DJPaul, good to see plain normal text again
You’re welcome @eor
