BuddyPress.org

hi @aventurine_geode,

BuddyPress use templates and CSS which are all stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

To modify them, you have to create first a child-theme and copy into it any of the files you want to modify, by respecting /path/file structure of the original /buddypress/ folder.

In brief, wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/file

Most of your questions are related to CSS. You make these changes in /child-theme/style.css
To alter the searchbar, but depending of what you exactly want to do, see bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/index.php (similar path for members) or creating a custom function if more in-depth modification. In that case you put this function into bp-custom.php (wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php) or into child-theme’s functions.php

More details can bee found on Codex

BuddyPress Theme Development

hi @fox_black

i’m pleased to see that you read the Codex. But sorry for your mention, there is also written a few words before: In BuddyPress 1.1 this all works with one click.

And if not enough, the paragraph title is Introduction for Forums in BP 1.2+

As of june 2015, current BuddyPress version is 2.3.1 and there is no forum included in BuddyPress, reason why you haven’t find any information.

Further on Codex you can read:
There are a couple of reasons why you might want to consider migrating to the bbPress plugin:

bbPress is being actively developed; the “Discussion Forums” component in BuddyPress is retiring as of BuddyPress 1.7. The retired component will continue to work, but no new features will be incorporated by the BuddyPress team.
bbPress has a bunch of cool features that BP Discussion Forums doesn’t: extensive moderation via the WP admin dashboard, topic splitting, revisions, spam management, favorites, subscriptions, and more.
See: https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/getting-started/using-bbpress-2-2-with-buddypress/

If you want a forum aside BP you have to use a forum plugin and bbPress is recommended for that.

This is the BuddyPress support forum.
Try asking your question on the bbPress support forum.

Are you sure it’s BuddyPress and not bbPress?

It is possible, but will require custom code.
It sounds like you need to delete both the group and the forum for that group.
If you aren’t a developer, you can post a job listing here.

That CSS trick is weak and should contain !important to work. And add it to your child-theme style.css (no matter the line) or you will loose that setting at next theme update.

li#members-all span , li#activity-all span {
   display: none!important;
}

Hi @ethanoltom,

don’t double post (this-webpage-has-a-redirect-loop) as it doesn’t bring faster or any answer. Also, searching for similar issues before asking is good practice.

So please, read here and follow advices. You’re not the only one whith this issue. For now, deactivate also your theme, any plugins except BuddyPress and if you use a cache plugin, clear it previously.
Concerning the forum rules, please read here. If you use some custom functions, remove them too while testing.

Aside, i visited this profile. I would recommend you review your email strategy, it’s not a good idea to show it publicly.

The download link on glotpress is below the content, in the bottm left corner.
Select the mo format and click on “export” and do the same for po format.

I’ve heard that the buddypress traduction never fails

Caramba ! Never trust rumours !

I can´t believe that nodoby has the same problem

Search for “translation” on this forum and you’ll be stumped !

According to your past topics here, you have now a haunted mention system ! 🙂
A change you make ? Here….

Uploading a fresh BP copy is just in case of one of the files was corrupted during update. This doesn’t affect anything in a theme or another plugin, or even in the DB. If you did it, BP is already restored to default.

I suspect a remaining old setting option from an uninstalled plugin or theme, but without any idea what it could be. 🙁

It may also be possible that Buddy theme is not following strict BP coding standards or is outdated at some point. But only if the site is extremeinferno.com…

Can you provide a temporary test user account for your site ?

On any particular condition other than just messages? If you want to simply remove the item-header you have two choices really, query the page for the component and action being viewed and wrap a conditional around the item-header or using the template hierarchy create a index-messages.php file in your theme adding it into file structure as outlined in the codex guides ‘buddypress/single/members/’ now you can modify this template and remove elements just for that one component view.

Template Hierarchy

hi @julia_b,

Seems your mention link has no closing tag, but difficult to say who, what, where without details.

Have you a custom template file for members-header.php in a child-theme ? If yes check the @ link at the begin of that file.

If no, have you custom functions in bp-custom.php or theme functions.php ? Check there for some code error.

If no to both, simply upload a new copy of buddypress, maybe a file get corrupted during update.

@sebastianpierre BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes out of the box. I am assuming that you’re on the latest WordPress and BuddyPress verions. Change theme to either Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Fourteen, check if all the BP pages are showing up as expected. If it is, then double-check that you have the_title and the_content template tags in your custom theme’s page.php file.

bp-template-pack files in my root folder

Just to be clear, if you’re referring to this plugin https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-template-pack then I suggest that you deactivate it and remove the folder/files you moved to your theme folder. If you’re referring to the bp-legacy files then I suggest that you resolve the issue of BP pages showing up in your theme first before doing any kind of customization.

Which theme do you use ?
Can you test youre install with Twenty Fifteen theme and see if anything is translated ?
Are the terms not translated on front-end, or also in back-end ?

FYI, the spanish translation for BP is only completed to 96%, but activity is translated. To ensure you have the most recent copy, download the spanish .mo file from here and install it in wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo

@dptashny BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks” and not those almost pretty permalinks where you add index.php after your domain name — a “quick fix” for sites hosted in Windows servers but will not work for BuddyPress sites. Where are you hosted? If this is a new account, best thing to do is move to Linux hosting ASAP.

Having said that, there are tutorials on how to reconfigure your IIS settings to generate the pretty permalinks, but there are different strokes for different IIS versions and you would need access to the server. Have you tried contacted support staff of your hosting provider to assist you or if they are familiar with WP pretty permalinks?

@kiwonuhm WP/BP versions? Where are you hosted? etc.

Any ideas why that’s still happening?

Yep ! Already asked and solved. 😉 Please read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/warning-strstr-empty-needle/

BuddyPress has no forums. If you use bbPress, you can ask on their support.

@mecceo,

you can also read the doc and try to modify the activity template to your need.

Pease, don’t double post ! You already asked for this here:
