BuddyPress Support Plugin 1.0-RC1

If you are truly using BuddyPress 1.0-RC1, then that is your issue. There have been many bugs fixes and improvements since RC1. It’s time to upgrade to the 1.0 public release and try the process again.

Since RC2, BuddyPress is a single plugin that resides in /wp-content/plugins/. Make sure you follow these revised Installation procedures very carefully.

Here are some suggestions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2746

Sounds really good, can’t wait to see it

impossible in general, but there might be some solution (BUT reinstall is the BEST). If you want to find out more or get feedback, head over to wpmu forum as this questions is not buddypress related.

Assuming you have followed instructions correctly and moved the two themes to their appropiate folders, you just need to enable and activate the bphome theme on the main blog, just as though you would for any other theme.

This plugin is now integrated better in BuddyPress and it’s included in BPDEV NoSpam http://bp-dev.org/download

Please don’t resurrect 5 month old topics. Start a new one with your questions and provide info on your wpmu/bp versions.

I agree with DJPaul, but you could get a developer to create theme you want.

However, check this guy out:Nazieb

Might look into it?

I am running into this same problem on my site, except adjusting the privacy options didn’t really do anything. The blogs are still set to “Public” mode, unless there is something else I’m misisng?

@Jfcarter,

Thanks for the answer, In the meantime i found that solution too, and works fine.

But it seems that this is not the re-captcha plugin what i meant. What i meant is the plugin from http://recaptcha.net/.

Now i have in register page wpmu-signup-captcha.php working, and in comments and posts wp-recaptcha…

Anyways if i find a better way i will post it here.

the Shouty Theme has a profile page with horizontal bars: http://www.buddydress.com/2009/04/shouty-theme/

i haven’t tested it with the 1.0 release, but it worked fine with the Rc2.

You can see some profile examples here:

this is available as a plugin, i think its called newblog defaults or similar, i think i remember getting it from bp-dev.org

It definitely looks awesome and moving the nav bars to the top makes a lot of sense in terms of utilizing space a little bit better… the default theme is awesome as well though, Andy and whomever was involved with that did a great job…. which isn’t always the case with default themes….

This is a problem on wpmu side, and buddypress is not involved.

Make sure you have setup your virtualhost and followed the instructions when setting up wpmu.

Actually I’m just surprised that no one has yet. I am somewhat reluctant to do so at the moment because things are still changing fast, but now it seems a little more stable. I think I want a much more simple design than most people would, so I can understand why you made it that way. My users are college students, so it needs to function just like Facebook. I am using it for campus groups to post their events, form online groups and start blogging. The main focus in on the events. BuddyPress is exactly what I have always dreamed of because I don’t like Ning.

For what it’s worth – the customization of this theme was done in 2 days and based on the original default theme. If you are competent with CSS then it should not a be problem for you.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just model it from their own awesome member theme. Even the skeleton member theme is more or less the same as the default.

It’s because the awesome member theme was a customization of the default theme. The default themes have been around since BuddyPress was first made available as a release candidate.

So, as Nicola and DJPaul suggest, if you want to create your own custom themes, by using either the skeleton theme or the default themes you have a solid foundation from which to work!

The skeleton is built to allow theme developers a base to start from. That’s all.

The default member theme sucks, and I haven’t seen anyone significantly modify it. I plan to do so at some point, but I don’t understand why they didn’t just model it from their own awesome member theme. Even the skeleton member theme is more or less the same as the default. You would have to make significant modifications to the skeleton theme itself for it to be anything like the buddypress.org member theme.

Specific issues:

Profile fields are way too spaced out.

The navigation design isn’t really necessary.

The wire should be on top, and profile fields in a small table below. Everything else is mostly unnecessary.

Ahah, you’ve conceive the idea of BuddyPress MU

I think when BP will be a plugin for WP this plugin will start the game

If you can install it on wp it means you can install it on a single blog, that means you can install it on a mu blog ( a subdomain or a subdirectory as you want )
