BuddyPress.org

On any decent server config, warnings and errors will not be shown on screen in production environments. Instead, it’ll be written to a log file. So you will still have the problem.

Try switching back to your real theme (so the warning comes back), and then disable plugins one-at-a-time. See if you can figure out if it’s a combination of one plugin and your theme causing the problem.

Is this a custom theme you wrote? Or did you buy from somewhere? Are BuddyPress templates defined in the theme (it’d be in your_theme/buddypress/ subfolder)? If it’s isolated to only your theme and not your theme+plugins, you’re going to have to debug through the members templates and figure it out.

BuddyPress doesn’t have a wall feature like how you think it does. You’ll need to check out a Wall plugin for BuddyPress, maybe http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-wall/

You could use member types to create child and adult types and add a radio button to the BuddyPress registration form?

Member Types

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins.

BuddyPress has no more theme since 1.9. The old BP-Default theme is only in for backward compatibility.
If you build a plugin for BP, i don’t think you need to build an extra theme for it. BP use only templates, who have enough flexibility to fit with almost any theme.

Globally, for a plugin, you have to match with BP’s templates, not with a theme or another.

Ie. if you need a setting screen on profiles, you can use a simple call to a kind of pre-build template you can use for plugins
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );

By using this, you’re on the profile with a new tab related to your plugin and automatically also integrated to the user’s theme. In other words, BP takes in account your plugin and the theme takes account of BP.

I wouldn’t recommand to build a theme with a plugin, as they are so many different themes on hand. If you don’t fit to the majority of them for any obvious reason, you’ll get in high difficulties if you are to specific. Don’t forget that you will have a plugin support to manage…

Made it simple and efficient and if possible, easy maintainable and upgradable. For you but also for any user type.

Here’s an example of what’s allowed:

Activity Stream Plus for BuddyPress

Note, the following is an example of what isn’t allowed:

BuddyPress Activity Stream Plus

You may come across older plugins that use the 2nd naming style. That’s because the guidance above was introduced by the WordPress Plugin Review Team relatively recently.

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins

Hi @tronix-ex,

Give this a try. Read more will only appear again if you use more than 500 000 characters…
Add to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_excerpt_length( $length ) {	

$length = 500000; // adjust the length to desired number of characters 

// Is the current page a user's activity stream page ?
	if( bp_is_user_activity() ) {
	  return $length;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_excerpt_length', 'bpfr_excerpt_length', 11, 1 );

Hi,

you can use BuddyPress in the plugin name, under condition the public can understand clearly that it is an add-on FOR BP and not a part OF BP.

For the domain name, i presume it’s the same trademark condition as for wordpress: no, you can’t. You can use bp-something[dot]com but not buddypress-something[dot]com

BuddyPress comes like WordPress under GPLv2 license and has similar terms of use.

I am having the same issue. I need members to be able to sign up themselves with a confirmation email rather than me having to approve them manually. This problem also affects my ability to set up a commerce page. I am using BP 2.6.2 with the WP Spirit 01 Theme. I am not using any other Buddy Press plugins other than just BuddyPress.
