Gravity Forms

You can use another plugin that requires to be invited via email, and once they register they can connect with WP-FB-Autoconnect. However, WP-FB-Autoconnect has been removed from WordPress.org, I’m not aware of what the reasoning was for that. If you’re wanting people to register and then be approved, you might want to consider putting up a form for them to apply & then you can send them the invitation through the plugin.

You can also increase the minimum time required for completing the reg process.

@gunju2221 we’re in trouble-shooting mode and just crossing out what could have happened to your installation. Sometimes it could be the simplest of things to an issue that requires creating a ticket in trac. All volunteers who help out in these forums asnwer based on what your posted. The more specific info we have on your install, the better. Moving on, have you tried deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress and tried creating a topic? There could be a conflict with plugin which has not been updated for BP 1.2.6.

@twig you can disable commenting on forum topics and blog posts by going to your BuddyPress options in your admin panel

@prionkor yes, it’s clear now. You would have to add the 2nd sidebar yourself in the files moved over to your active WP theme when you went through the BP Template Pack Process.
Here’s a walk-through example which could give you some clues on what to expect or how to proceed – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Here’s another way of using your current WordPress theme with BuddyPress – http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/ See popular WP themes converted- http://bp-theme-converts.com/category/bpthemes/

As for BP Template Pack, it needs to be updated whether it’s for someone who knows how to code or for those who don’t know how to code. Check out Kobe Bryant’s site which uses BP Template Pack http://kb24.com/ specifically for BP components.

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

Hi @rickgoz,

I have bought from my freelance a plugin that remove login choice on signup. It generate an username “user43fr53hzet56….” for each new member.
After activation, in user account, each user can change this username only ONE TIME on what he want, to have better user slug. User page can be catch with http://example.com/auto_username, AND http://example.com/custom_username by auto insert on .htaccess
If user missed something and want change again his username, you have just to delete the user line in the plugin table.

I think this plugin with “email login” plugin should make you happy.

As I am not php coder, I can’t assume any support for this. But if someone want update this plugin…

I wouldn’t use the template pack. I’d create my own framework with the bp files inside or call them via a child theme. There isn’t a right or wrong way but the template pack is really for someone who isn’t capable of coding and a quick start to adding BP to an existing WordPress. If you go the template pack route then the files could be out of sync with the BP core.

I FINALLY got it to work. Had to totally uninstall wordpress and start from scratch on setting up a mu site, but it works. My recommendation to anyone else who is encountering this error… Do not use the Buddypress theme template pack that automatically reorganized your theme. Just install Buddypress and then enable a buddypress compatible theme. If you use the template pack and then install and activate a compatible theme, things may go sideways.

Remember, you can always start from scratch. Good luck. -B

BP/WP versions?

@Buckycat7 no apologies necessary. Many ways to go about theming the BP Project. On my end, if BuddyPress is a section of a full-blown CMS, then I would create a child theme of my framework and install the BP Template Pack (not yet updated for BP 1.2.6 however) in secondary blog of multisite and adjust HTML/CSS of template pack accordingly. If the project is full-blast social networking project, I would create a bp-default child theme and work from there. Welcome to BuddyPress.

I’m also looking for this exact solution. But in the meantime, I’m thinking about using 3 separate installs: The “main” page would be a normal WP install that would highlight activity from two buddypress blogs (members wouldn’t sign in here). The two separate installs would be BP installations (my group wants distinct styling for each of these BP installations): all I want to do is share users and login credentials between the two BP installations.
