Since this thread had not seen activity for at least a month, it would have been better to start a new thread. You will receive a faster response!

I just posted these new guidelines: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2543

that didn’t seem to work.

Jeff–

Not sure we’re talking apples to apples, but I’ve created this thread to ask how I can make my theme consistent site-wide.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2538

I know there must be an answer to this, because the BuddyPress site we’re on is doing what I want to do!

Nothing nothing nothing!

BuddyPress is a plugin FOR WordPress MU. Your question is, what does a WP plugin need to do to work in WPMU? The biggest differences I am aware of is that WPMU plugins don’t utilise the activation/deactivation functions that WP plugins do.

I suspect if you search the WPMU site or message board, someone will have asked this question before.

yeah, it was in v1.1 for sure. i used it for my first component. i found a reference in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-example/bp-example-cssjs.php in v1.1. I tried adding this back myself and it didn’t work.

/**

* bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css()

*

* This function will allow your component to dynamically add CSS to themes so that you can

* set the activity feed icon to use for your component.

*/

function bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css() {

?>

li a#my-example, li a#user-example {

background: url(<?php echo site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . \'/bp-example/images/heart_bullet.png\' ) ?>) 88% 50% no-repeat;

}



li.example {

background: url(<?php echo site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . \'/bp-example/images/heart_bullet.png\' ) ?>) 0 8% no-repeat;

}



table#bp-example-notification-settings th.icon {

background: url(<?php echo site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . \'/bp-example/images/heart_bullet.png\' ) ?>) 50% 50% no-repeat;

}

<?php

}

add_action( \'bp_custom_member_styles\', \'bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css\' );

add_action( \'bp_custom_home_styles\', \'bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css\' );



?>

Okay, thanks for the updated information. From those error messages, it appears that PHP is having trouble saving session information. This will cause big issues. However, this is not a BuddyPress nor WordPress-specific issue. This is an issue with your web server.

I suggest that you contact your web hosting firm and ask them to help you.

Did someone establish a new thread for this topic? I want to do the same thing. Can’t understand why BuddyPress can’t make the same theme available for anyone who signs on and creates a blog … I’ve modified my BuddyPress files and logo to show the colors and style I want–very simple adjustment to the standard BuddyPress theme–and I want that theme to be the same theme that everyone else uses no matter who they are … and for all pages to show up the same way.

This is a test site. Very basic.

I am having same issue

“Please move the default BuddyPress themes to their correct location (move \apache2triad\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to \apache2triad\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/bp-themes/) and reload this page.”

See all the folders in the correct spots

Do NOT have option to activate Buddy Theme in Admin themes

Nor do I see a /members dir in WP structure

Thank you for your contribution.

Have you checked the BuddyPress Language Translations Codex pages here? https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/

There is another Vietnamese translation of BuddyPress.

Thanks Jeff.

Going to “BuddyPress > General Settings”, re-selecting the member theme, and then hitting save worked!

Really appreciate your help.

Amyuk and Dworldon-

A few initial questions:

1. Are you logging into WPMU\’s backend as the site administrator, and not just as a user with administrator privileges?
2. Did you go to \”BuddyPress > General Settings\”, re-select the member theme, and then hit save? Do this even if the theme is already selected.
3. Are there any errors in your log files? If so, what are they?

Jeff, I tried installing Nicola’s plugins on a clean BP installation but some of them seem to break my plugins page and then make the database dirty

I would contact Nicola via his bp-dev.org site and discuss this issue with him. I know that he has recently upgraded many of his plugins. Your feedback will help him make his plugins even better!

Too slow Camopants!

That’s Nanopants, not Camopants.

Inside joke. Nothing to see here people. Move along.

Remember, BuddyPress is just a WPMU plugin. Granted, a big, fancy, and powerful WPMU plugin!

The best practice is to contact each plugin developer and ask if there are any issues using their plugin with BuddyPress. Also, if their plugin has not yet been updated to work with WPMU 2.7.1, then you will want to request that it be updated as soon as possible. Using plugins that are not yet supported on, or will not be updated to, the current version of WPMU is not advisable.

Arghagain-

Adding to what jjj and TheEasyButton are saying, if you are still having issues then it is important to start from scratch. You must get WPMU functioning properly before installing BuddyPress. Then make sure BuddyPress is functioning properly before installing and integrating bbPress.

From what you are saying, it is not clear if you are upgrading WPMU from 2.6 or 2.7? Did you already have a working copy of WPMU installed? If so, what version?

If you are upgrading from 2.7 to 2.7.1 following these upgrading instructions, then make sure you finish the upgrading process by logging into WPMU’s backend as site admin and going to “Site Admin -> Upgrade”. Also, make sure you use the wp-config-sample.php file that comes with WPMU 2.7.1 and modify that version as needed. Do not use an older version of the wp-config.php file.

If you do not have an active site with real members and you are only in testing mode, then you can safely delete everything and perform a clean install. This means that you do not have any data in the MySQL DB that is worth saving.

If that is the case,save to a separate file any custom themes you may have created or installed. Also, save any 3rd-party plugins you may have installed for WPMU. Then, start from scratch. Delete everything including your MySQL DB. Once you have reinstalled WPMU succesfully, you can copy back your custom themes and 3rd-party plugins into their proper locations.

Finally, if you are still using BP RC2, it is time to switch to BuddyPress 1.0, the public release version of BP.

Thanks for the response.

I bought the themes from StudioPress and see they have made a Grunge Buddypress theme for another client. I will try and contract them to do the same for myself.

Unfortunately since we will be using a purchased theme, I would not be able to make it open to everyone, however I will ask StudioPress to consider adding it to their product list for sale.

I will also look at the coding myself as I am generally good with be able to follow systems that are well documented. If this is the case I will look into creating themes using free/gpl wordpress themes. What my clients have been after is more of a wordpress modular feel than buddypress.

I am also looking into integrating phpMotion and will report back to this forum as my clients all want locally hosted/owned video/images site wide and on user profiles.

Regards

Mark

This plugin is not working with BuddyPress 1.0. It’s not activating, because of:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare events_install() (previously declared in /hsphere/local/home/slaffik/demo.cosydale.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-events.php:39) in /hsphere/local/home/slaffik/demo.cosydale.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-events.php on line 177

Oh did I do smth wrong?
