kudos to DJPaul, nice job, that does work.. if you gotta donate button somewhere? I’ll buy you a pint of Guinness.
With trying buddypress & modifying still i agree that buddypress.org theme is really awesome and almost things work more easy, as people who might have seen for them the cool color and background mix match with blue topic font is what buddypress and if at all it is released people will be more interested to put with out modification.
Even i am looking for the same, although it might be told 2000 times or what ever no of times… Any way if any one can help me how & what to make changes to be like buddypress.org front page.
Sorry, not sure which thread to post this in now!
So buddypress.org is clearly running a version of the BuddyPress default theme (with blue instead of orange) that has also been ported to bbPress – is that right?
Would it be possible to release that as a bbPress theme?
Or has that perhaps (crossing fingers!) already been done somewhere?
Thanks for any input…
Thanks James Jacoby for the code.
But very unfortunately this is not working.
Any other things to be done anywhere else ?
FWIW, in this thread Bpfan posts a solution for the problem with BBP 0.9.0.4 where the admin is redirected to the main bbpress page on login (instead of the admin page).

It’s hiding under the ‘Developers’ menu section – direct link is https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/. Of course, I would expect 99.9% of WPMU plugins to work too.
I have read that I should follow the “BuddyPress” option under “Site Admin” menu, in order to change the member theme.
That is outdated information. If you are using BuddyPress 1.0 and have the bpmember folder installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/, then what I described is correct.
Log in to WPMU’s backend as site admin, then go to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”. After selecting a member theme, make sure you hit the “Save Settings” button.
@ Jeff Sayre :
Yes, but the thing is, I have read that I should follow the “BuddyPress” option under “Site Admin” menu, in order to change the member theme.
I am still unable to change the user theme.
How can I change the member theme ?
There’s a plugin for WordPress to do this already, and there will be a language switcher plugin that is BuddyPress safe soon.
This has been done similarly in various forum software. Wouldn’t be too hard to adapt to fit WordPress/BuddyPress.
I say do it.
Hi Trent:
Then why does BuddyPress make a Password field on registration? Doesn’t it seem a bit odd it would be like this? And is there some plugin that allows this that you know of?
James-
At this time, BuddyPress only works with WordPress Multiuser (WPMU) version 2.7.1. You will have to install it yourself, which is really the only way that it should be done. It is never wise to use a one-button install service to install complex software platforms.
Now, whether your hosting plan will be of sufficient horsepower to successfully run WPMU is a different issue. For this issue you can search the WPMU forums.
Hi John,
I already scraped it and started from scratch!
I put in a new installation of mu and buddypress
I put the bp-themes into wp-content and used the the bhome to wp-content/themes folder
now I get this!

I know I must be close but not sure what is wrong

Suleiman-
The buddybar was displaying fine before I upgraded from my .9 build. Now with 1.0 rc2 I’m experiencing an unusual phenomenon
Currently, it is recommended that you stick with bbPress 1.0-alpha-6. See this thread.
This could be a bug with bbPress 1.0-RC-2. I suggest starting a thread on the bbPress forum for this issue if one is not already started.

buddypress is just awesome
Jeff:
Nope, no custom functions – It’s a brand new install. And you may classify a page being “blank” different then I would. It doesn’t show a blank white page, what you are describing is correct. However, for a bogus URL, shouldn’t it show something like this?

I’m closing this thread as it has to do with a request for services and not specific issues related to BuddyPress.
If you are interested in providing your services, the contact information is in the OP’s thread.
Please remember, if you need help implementing a WPMU+BuddyPress site or have development services to offer, you should post on the BuddyPress Job Board or directly PM a member.
Hey, I’ve just written to and received an email from one of the guys – Noel – who’ve done the P2 theme and he seems willing to look at some additions to better support plugins and widgets that rely on what are otherwise standard filter actions.
The above works as an interim but hopefully at next weekend I can go over it all and check things properly, then feed back to Noel.
Adding to what John is saying, you should visit the Custom BuddyPress Loops codex page as well.
Ok, so this is with the current download-able version of P2 (not a trunk version):
functions.php – in function prologue_new_post():
//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:
echo $post_id? $post_id : '0';
exit;
//Above them, put this:
if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );
functions.php – in function prologue_new_post_noajax():
//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:
wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
exit;
//Above them, put this:
if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );
hmm … that’s a lot more straight forward than what i found. cool
It’s actually quite easy to do this. I recommend getting comfortable with the functions that BP introduces to the templates, which can usually be found in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php. There are some others, but those will be your friends.
Some of them are wrappers for WPMU functions, and others are BP specific. Each plugin also has a *templatetags.php file that includes more functions to component specific output.
Spend some time looking through the bphome and bpmember themes to get an idea of how those functions are used, and you’ll be on your way to making a custom theme in no time.
Hey John:
My host is HostGator, and yes, I am using it in a subdirectory versus the main directory or a sub domain. No, I have never installed anything that would have changed the URL structure of the app, unless BuddyPress would have done this… And yes, I’m not getting a white screen of death, instead I’m getting a totally empty page. Have you been able to fix this?
Just noticed this too on one of my installs. Who is your web host? Are you by chance running BuddyPress in a subdirectory?
Looks like you’re not using any plugins at all? Were you at any point? Something that additionally re-writes URL’s like qTranslate or the like?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not getting a blank screen (white screen of death), you’re getting what looks like a totally empty blog page, with no widgets, no side bar, just a header and a footer.
Right?
Okay, to recap:
- You are running a new install of WPMU 2.7.1 with BuddyPress 1.0
- You’ve activated BuddyPress
- You have no other plugins installed and activated
- You are using the bphome and bpmember theme
- You do not have any errors AT ALL in your server’s log files
- You’ve installed WPMU as a subdirectory install
- But, you are not positive if WPMU was working before you installed and activated BP
Now, if I understand your issue correctly, when you visit your domain, you can see the home page without any issue. It works fine. But when you click on any link it brings up a blank page without a 404 message.
Or, is it that everything works fine. You can see the home theme and get to the member theme without any problem. You are only seeing this issue when you provide a bogus url. It is only then that you get the blank screen? So, you are wondering why it is not a 404 page.
