BuddyPress.org

Wow, world renowned support? 7 months and still no answers! I have the same issue guys, I get a ton of spam on my activity streams. I have 4 different anti-spam plugins, and guess what? Non of them help with the activity stream. This is something Buddypress needs to be looking at!

Theming BuddyPress is like theming any other WordPress theme.
You’ll just need to add all the BuddyPress-related template files to your theme for it to be BuddyPress-compatible.

There’s a plugin out there that automates this, BP Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
However, use it as a guide as it needs to be updated.

There’s also another guide by @thekmen, which can be found here:
http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/

BuddyPress doesn’t offer native PayPal support.

You might need to contact the developers of the 3rd-party plugin you’re using to make sure it’s compatible with BuddyPress.

BP 1.2.6 made some changes to the way buttons are rendered.

Read this for more info:

Follow the steps listed in the second point.

If you encounter any other problems with your child theme, please post follow-up responses in this thread.

The BuddyPress Default theme is not meant to be used network-wide.

If you want to use the same theme across your blogs, you need to create a child theme of the BuddyPress Default theme.

Then you can modify the header (header.php) to use the main site’s header image.

ah got it, looks like it was supposed to be fixed https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3053 (though i could see if the comments made it in prior to this change) file a trac ticket if you can reproduce it

Back up now I think.

Roger that. Plugins are down on both wordpress and buddypress….

@Altermann

I’m currently working on a theme package with widgetized front page;
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/new-theme-sneak-preview/

Here’s a good tutorial on how to widgetize any page:

Hope this helps!

This seems to be a more upstream WordPress.org issue—check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Yup, I’m seeing this on the “Recently Updated” page:

Viewing plugin -24 to 0 ( total plugins)

???

A code error in a core file…
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/rss-activity-feed-is-blank/

mach’s gut

test and learn with the buddypress-widget_theme, specially designed for the homepage and with widgets on 3 cols
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme

Not sure if there is conflict in code or something that cause similar problem. Maybe not related.

comment not showing up activity stream but that for wordpress and not wordpress multisite

I gave up a long time ago rolling my own WordPress and BuddyPress installs directly on OS X. It was too much of a pain for very little benefit. I switched to using MAMP (the free version) and both install easily without issue.

stats plugins can also be a big problem

Good point if your logs aren’t being rotated you’ll end up running out of disk space completely, I forgot about rotating a log tried to open it in my editor to scan through, it editor wasn’t happy at all.

buddypress activity replies is not tied to wp commenting settings – all activity comments will post immediately.

You have a high level of PHP warnings, or WP_DEBUG, set. We are aware of these notes and will fix them for the next big release.
