Great! Thanks Andy! You’ve done some amazing work with BP.
I could not find signup.php in buddypress-home. Where else could it be?
Or where can I download it?
Thanks
There will be an extension pack launching soon.
plugin-sidebar.php
plugin-template.php
register.php
activate.php
Hello everybody,
I’ve been using WPMU for quite some time now but am new to BuddyPress. I’m creating my own home theme for my BuddyPress Homepage (which will be installed in a subdomain), but I need some help determining which files I need to make sure I install in the custom theme’s directory.
I know I need plugin-sidebar.php and plugin-template.php, but are there any others? I’d like this to be as seamless as possible, but I know that likely won’t be the case. I always seem to forget something 
Copy register.php and activate.php from buddypress-home into your own theme. Make any HTML mods you need.
hmmmm…I’m not using any other plugins other than buddypress and Dynamic Content Gallery in the regular plugins folder. This wasn’t an issue a few days ago, but suddenly it stopped working, and I haven’t done anything to the core.
I’m using the latest trunk version, so it’s not a bug with RC-1.
The weirdest thing about it is if I add a subdomain to the activation email…ie. community.domain.com/wp-activate.php?123456789, the domain suddenly becomes activated, and the password is given. Can’t figure out why adding the subdomain to the URL would work, but I just tested it for the heck of it and it actually worked! Now I’m even more confused…maybe I’ll just hack the core and make it send emails out with the subdomain in the link 
… but really, I’d love to know why that is happening…I know hacking the core isn’t the best idea 
To see what exactly I’m talking about…check out the two links below and take a look at the URL in each one…both have the exact same activation keys…but only the one with the “community” subdomain shows up correctly:
Activation WITH “community” subdomain:
http://tinyurl.com/bljm5s
Activation without “community” subdomain:
http://tinyurl.com/be7m6e
could someone give instructions on how to install?
i put home theme in themes directory
and member themes in member-themes directory
then activated home theme.
facebuddy home theme is loading, but i get default buddypress member theme.
do i have to activate member theme?
any suggestions?
Hi
When I click on Sign up using buddypress-home theme, it takes me to mysite.com/register, but when I switch the theme to something else, it takes me to mysite.com/wp-signup.php.
How do I make others theme use mysite.com/register??
Thanks
nicola, I’ll add it when I know it’s working fine with buddypress. the config above works fine om my wpmu site, but as I said, I’m having problems with a buddypress site. The “problem” is that it’s not creating any errors I can use for debugging (and before you suggest that I should log errors .. I’m do that
I had this problem too, I found that it was a conflict with some of my plugins.
First, take out any plugins in /mu-plugins and try to activate the email again.
I found that wp-super-cache was causing some conflict in my blog, I took it out and it works perfectly now.
Then, if your activation works, place the buddypress plugins back in /mu-plugins and try to activate.
If these work, then one by one add the plugins that you had until you find the one that broke it.
That’s what I had to do and now my site works fine.
Hey benny148148, followed you here from the “other” forum;)
Here’s the thread I was referencing earlier regarding this same issue on my install (all default)… https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315
However, at the end of the day, there is no solution. One of the BP gurus here, Burt Adsit, was helping me troubleshoot and referenced a possible fix, but didn’t know if it was to be put in trac as a bug fix. I’ve messaged him through my BP install, but haven’t heard back.
I checked trac and didn’t see any reference to this issue. Hopefully other will chime in with a fix.
I have the same problem and i fallowed the exact instructions.When i select the theme from the admin it doesn’t show up.I see the default theme for bddypress.
@sha_munira explain better your problem..
what does not work? how did you installed it?
member theme doest work…please help
thanks, its because im not using wordpress MU…silly mistake..haha
I’m using the default BuddyPress theme…I’ve just restyled the header.
I would try activating default Buddypress theme and see if the issue still occurs so that you can be sure it is not an issue with your theme…
Thanks for replying.
Maybe I should try exporting from wp+mu and importing to wp without buddypress first and see where I am getting to.
Right now I am using wordpress+mu and buddypress on a testsite creating already some content. The question is, will I be able to switch to wordpress + buddypress (when available) moving all buddypress content and the main blog content to the new install environment. Of course I have disabled the blogs feature for new users.
Or should I stop creating content and wait until buddypress is available for wordpress (without mu)?
Thanks for a short info.
The proof of this is in wp-admin/options-permalink.php, where “/blog” is permanently placed in front of the permalink url on lines 82, 92, and 102.
The function I was thinking of in functions.php was bp_show_home_blog(), but it doesn’t do exactly what I thought it did the way I thought it did it.
I was actually thinking that. I might move everything back a month…that then makes it 2 months for design…
You should extend the deadline Daniel. With the downtime and people only really finding out about this in the last week, it’s not long enough to think about, design and build a decent theme. Just my 2 cents.
You should think of a home theme as just a standard WordPress blog theme. It is no different other than a few new files to handle directories.
A member theme is a “BuddyPress” theme, and should probably be called that.
You should treat them as two entirely different themes, your WordPress theme should have the styles and images for just the WordPress parts and your BuddyPress theme should have the styles and images for just the BuddyPress parts.
You could of course still provide the two themes in one download package, but they should still work independently. It’s not a good idea at all to make the themes dependent on one another. Someone may want to use your member theme but keep their own blog theme.
I’ll be writing more docs on this soon.
This is a theme problem. You seem to have solved that issue. You have another fatal error when viewing the blogs directory:
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/ladsmy/public_html/community/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php on line 930
If you temporarily switch to the standard bp home theme does this happen? If your problems go away by switching to the bp home theme then you need to contact your theme’s author.
a css and some images, i prefer not to touch code in order to not updating it on every buddypress release. But sorry..i have no idea how to make a plugin
