ParticipantWithin your child theme, you can only use budypress template files – the files inside /bp-template/bp-legacy/.
In order to edit the template files you have to create a folder named buddypress inside your child theme folder. Every file you want to edit should be inside the same directory structure as in bp-legacy.
For example:
If you want to edit activity-loop.php then you place the file in:
your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/Editing css and js:
your-child-theme/css/buddypress.css
your-child-theme/js/buddypress.jsAnother thing that you should look at are hooks. Buddypress has many hooks that you can use inside your functions.php. I’ve never found any structured documentation about it. but you can learn a lot about it from tutorials online. Here is a blog with many tutorials
http://bp-tricks.com/Sometimes you can’t find hooks to everything you want to do so what I do is documenting my hacks in the core so I can keep track of them when it is time to upgrade.

ParticipantDo you use Template Pack ? You have to deactivate it if so, as that plugin is no more necessary.

Participant@rubyji
Please don’t reply to threads going on 4 years old as it clutters the forum and bumps a thread that is ancient. You also replied on an almost 2 year old thread here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/export-users-and-xprofile-data/
I can respect you wanting to help and inform users that this can be accomplished with the plugin you linked too but one reply to the most recent thread is plenty enough.October 9, 2014 at 8:30 pm #207754In reply to: Weird (?) 404 errors with PageLines v3 aka DMS

ParticipantThis is causing me a massive issue too.
I am using dms2 mostly it works but there are many 404 page errors. Pagelines forum have taken this up as a bug, but it does seem that this error happens on many other themes, so perhaps a different approach needs to be taken from buddypress?
I hope this gets taken up! Thanks

KeymasterSo how do you get the themeing for buddypress if the wordpress theme does not support it?
Since you’ve been using BP Template Pack, you need to remove it. Read this article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/You might need to restyle a few things in your CSS to make it gel with your theme though.
October 9, 2014 at 5:05 pm #207727Tom
Participant@r-a-y Yes I did!
This 2.1.1 Update was supose to fix this issue, but it has not. Im still stuck with a broken slider.When I disable the BuddyPress Template Pack, it works again, This seems like its no longer supported, So how do you get the themeing for buddypress if the wordpress theme does not support it?

barchiola
Participantgot the answer in another thread.
we have a theme and buddypress is an add-on to that theme so there wasn’t a need to have buddypress as our theme or to create a buddypress child theme.
what we needed to do was to make changes to the css elements that controlled the elements of buddypress that were active in our theme.
it was pointed out to me to simply copy the css lines from buddypress.min.css (as displayed in View Element, a firefox feature) into the Style.CSS file in our existing child theme style.css file.
after a few tries to get the syntax correct I’m now making changes to the buddypress elements that we have active with our existing wordpress theme.
thanks for the help Hugo.

Participantdon’t know, i refresh after every css file update so not sure why it wouldn’t take but it’s good now and we’re making progress again!
our buddypress pages are finally starting to look like the rest of the site.
thank you very much

ParticipantHi Will,
as far as I see the patches discussed above are included in v2.1.1 completely.
Looks like you can enable suggestions for @-mentions in the groups component by just adding a condition bp_is_groups_component() in bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php:62 – changing it to:
( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_blog_page() && is_singular() && comments_open() || is_admin() );I’m also wondering why that isn’t default and suggest this as improvement: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/enabling-suggestions-for-mentions-in-groups-component/

Participant@masten7
To post content a user will be required to be logged in out of the box. For the media part you can use one of the following plugins:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
or:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/
To force the user to create a profile before interaction with the site you can use this plugin:

ParticipantThank you so much! Creating and uploading my own language files seemed to to the trick. However — it’s unclear as to whether or not the “Sources Keywords” stuff is even relevant in my situation. Wouldn’t the WordPress functions already exist in the BuddyPress language file that I’ve copied and modified? If I’ve done something wrong (by ignoring these Sources Keywords stuff) — how can I test/verify that?
Thanks,

Participant1st:
we don’t want BuddyPress to be our theme
What I have described there did not make ‘BuddyPress’ my theme – and if you adapt my description to your case, it will also not make ‘BuddyPress’ your theme.
(Anyway BuddyPress is no theme, though it concists of the bp-theme-folder. But ignore this folder.)
2nd:
real theme which is ClassiPress.
That implies: Everywhere were I have written ‘reddle’ within my decription, you have to write ‘ClassiPress’; and were I have written ‘reddle-child’, you have to write ‘ClassiPress-child’.
October 9, 2014 at 1:26 pm #207697In reply to: Trying to understand Child Themes vs. Plugins
ParticipantI added the code to the bottom of the classipress child theme, saved it, refreshed my screen and nothing happened. maybe because i used cut-paste instead of typing it in.
i’ll try again.
when i inspect the elements buddypress is using the buddypress.min.css file and i’m tempted to edit that file for the heck of it just to see if it changes anything but so far i can’t get changes to show on the screen.
thanks for all of the help, i really appreciate it.
one more try
bartOctober 9, 2014 at 1:22 pm #207696In reply to: Trying to understand Child Themes vs. Plugins
Participantso when you say I have to activate our child theme in the Admin panel, I’ve seen this and have tried the preview and it takes over our real theme which is ClassiPress.
Parent and child theme work the following way:
If there is a style definition for e.g.
h1in the parent theme as well as in the child theme, then the style definition of the child theme forh1is used.Is there only a definition in the parent theme for
h1, then the parent theme definition is used.And the same regarding BuddyPress:
If you write nothing regarding
#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected ainto your child theme, then the BuddyPress-definition is used; otherwise the definition, which you make in your child theme, is used.Or saying the same thing in a more abstract way: The child theme does not substitute the entire parent theme, rather it has primacy in the case of contradictory style-definitions for the same element.
October 9, 2014 at 1:11 pm #207693In reply to: Trying to understand Child Themes vs. Plugins
Participantthis goes back to my original question, we already have a theme and are running a child-theme of that.
That’s fine. Then insert there your code:
#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a { background-color: #eee; color: #555; font-weight: bold; border-radius: 0px, 0px, 4px, 4px; }October 9, 2014 at 12:53 pm #207691In reply to: Trying to understand Child Themes vs. Plugins
Participantthis goes back to my original question, we already have a theme and are running a child-theme of that. buddypress isn’t our theme, it’s an add-on to our theme.

Does that make sense? we don’t want BuddyPress to be our theme, it’s running as an Add-on and I’m trying to only make some minor color/layout changes.
Thanks!
BartOctober 9, 2014 at 12:44 pm #207690In reply to: pagination count and links don't work.
ParticipantThere is nothing wrong with my child-theme configuration. I’ve tested it on 2014 theme, without bp-custom.php, the code in functions.php and BP template files are not applying because it is in my child theme and I’m testing on 2014 theme. Also turned off all plugins and installed fresh version of buddypress without any core hacks.
The issue still persists. Everything was fine before upgrading to 2.1.1.
I was thinking about opening a bug report ticket but if you say that everything is working for you then the issue must be on my end. I just can’t figure it out (yet).

ParticipantI would have thought this was something that would be really popular for a Buddypress site because finding people in certain areas is what a lot of social networks need. Im going to have a look at some BP sites and see what they are doing. There must be something for this surely – although seems not as am sure you ahve searched for yourself. Maybe need to get someone to code it for me. Thanks again, you put a lot of effort into trying to help me.
October 9, 2014 at 9:16 am #207684In reply to: Profile fields for locations within a country
ParticipantI had a look on your registration page where you have a few countries for members to select, but when I choose one, the same dropdown menu appears.
Yes, a better solution I do not have for the moment.
the only way I can see to do it is to add, UK, then a list of counties. USA and then a list of states, and so on which would mean I would have a list a mile high of all the different countries and local areas.
Yes – if you do not trust in the old plugins, which @noizeburger recommands:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-different-profile-types-and-different-user-roles/ –
or trust in them, but find (like me) no way, to make them working as they should.
October 9, 2014 at 9:13 am #207683In reply to: How to make my site like Facebook
Julia_B
ParticipantI’ve ironed out most of the kinks on my website now and most of the members have made the transition from the old Facebook group without too many problems – although, I won’t lie, there have been complaints from a fair few!
The main thing a lot of them miss is ease of access/use on mobile phones. The biggest factor seems to be that they could access the Facebook group via the app rather than needing to use a browser and the instant notifications of mentions to their phones helped keep them feeling involved. I’m not a developer, so there’s only so much I can do, but is it possible to have buddypress site (with busy bbpress forums) running as a mobile app at the same time?
Or is there some other solution I can offer? I’ve explained about email notifications, but members don’t feel like that’s the same.
The other issue is that members are saying it’s difficult to follow threads because on Facebook the original post will appear at the top with replies below and it gets bumped up the page each time anyone replies. I know Buddypress activity posts work a bit like that, but most of the activity appearing on my homepage activity feed is from the forums. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys. 🙂
October 9, 2014 at 9:03 am #207682In reply to: Profile fields for locations within a country
ParticipantHi @1a-spielwiese,
Thanks for this. I had a look on your registration page where you have a few countries for members to select, but when I choose one, the same dropdown menu appears. Im not using any plugin at the moment – just the extended profiles in the components of Buddypress at the top of the list which includes checkboxes for activity streams, friend connections etc. I don’t want to use a plugin that hasn’t been updated in two years either.
If I go to Users>Profile fields, this is where I was hoping to do this but the only way I can see to do it is to add, UK, then a list of counties. USA and then a list of states, and so on which would mean I would have a list a mile high of all the different countries and local areas.
Am I missing something?
Thanks a bunch,
Kris
