BuddyPress.org

Think you need to raise this with the plugin forum

Do you mean BuddyPress users accessing the main WP site? BuddyPress users and WordPress users are the same, perhaps with different roles and capabilities but they all live in the users table. So two-way access shouldn’t be a problem.

If you feel multisite is the way to go, then I’d suggest you set up a test install first to try it out. Creating a network will add lots of new tables to your install and rolling back won’t be easy.

If I understand your requirements right, I wouldn’t use multisite for this. I also wouldn’t use separate installs.

Considering you just need a main site area and a BuddyPress area, I would aim to keep things as simple as possible and address this problem with a custom theme. You can add a /your-theme/buddypress/ folder which contains all of your BuddyPress templates. Then it’s just a case of styling both the main area and your BuddyPress pages to look consistent.

Why has this thread not been answered. I installed buddyPress yesterday, and I’m having the same problem on my Galaxy Not 3.

This all sounds feasible. BuddyPress is very developer friendly so building your own web apps and hooking into BuddyPress shouldn’t be a problem.

The registration form is configurable and is fully customisable via the BuddyPress template hierarchy.

Also, BuddyPress is free, so there’s no need to purchase.

@jrunfitpro, thought BP Attachment is great, and MediaPress (files are on github) also.

@canadianmusicnetwork I don’t think you’re placing the code in the right place ( in a file called style.css). I tested the code on my buddypress site and changed the color to WHITE and it’s actually working.

Here’s the code again:

#buddypress #activity-stream p {
    margin: 5px 0px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Still can’t login but it’s OK. The below code was supposed to work if you cleared your browser cache and restarted it. If that wouldn’t work still you could have tried testing the site on another computer which you had not used to visit the site. If you had a browser that you hadn’t used to visit the site that could work too to help you see the changes made by this code.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
} 

Also, make sure you’re placing that code in the right place “style.css”

This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/

Please create a temporary buddypress user account for me so that I can log in and take a look.

@zabelator in that case, you’ll have to use jQuery and probably not CSS.

Open “head.php” and add the following code.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a" ).click(function(oneb){
    oneb.preventDefault();
});

});
</script>

It should now work across the board. Note, this will be disabled even when the user is logged in so you might want to use php to load this script on home page only. Let me know if works.

@canadianmusicnetwork, Please remove the previous code and add this.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Lemme know if it works.

I suspected that might happen. The problem is here $willie = my_f();. In this particular case you can’t do that. I may have mislead you earlier so I’ve updated my reply here.

Hi @zabelator

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a {
    text-decoration: none;
    pointer-events: none;
    cursor: default;
}

Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress #activity-stream p {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

You can do that using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/

Each subsite becomes it’s own separate BuddyPress network.

Similar answer to this topic. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-fields/

This plugin mentioned, with a bit of tweaking, can do exactly what you are talking about: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

You can control this somewhat with this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Underneath each profile field, you just need to explain the square brackets thing. Example:

Connections Profile Field:

Use this field to share other interests you think may be of interest to the community. Words or phrases in your profile can be linked to the profiles of other members that contain the same phrases. To specify which words or phrases should be linked, add square brackets: e.g. “I enjoy [BMX] bikes and [ballet]. I play [guitar].” If you do not specify anything, phrases will be chosen automatically.
