There is no point in creating a BuddyPress theme any more since 1.7 see:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

any theme that has standard WordPress template structure is compatible so basically all you have to do is create a standard WordPress theme.
Cheers!

Doesn’t 2.0 have the functionality you need?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5374

Seems u got your wish answered by the plugin author..check this:

For those who are interested, I have a beta of what will be 4.2.0 available at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/BuddyPress-Registration-Options/archive/alpha-revamp.zip

Thanks @henry for referencing… I had thought to refer to something but was cautious on my experience; further, replying just via mobile phone.

I would refer to Henry because I have seen his continuous engagement on the buddypress forums. I appreciate Henry

@robertnorcross I thought I would comment because I understand how difficult to attempt to put all the pieces together. I feel you because have encountered similar issues with understanding how to create /separate / map to others domains however it would be most useful to understand your bigger picture of how it flows contextual for your sites.

I.E what is example1.com, example2.com, example3.com (buddypress community)relate in context and/or content.

1. Do they relate or more about styling/theme.
2. Do you want the users database to be separate from the over all install.
3. Why, What & Who is the purpose Of your community.

All the following could best help the community in understanding of what you attempting to create additionally the logic behind your websites so that we can point you to either plugins, resources and/or references.

It’s simply extremely hard to help when everything is so ambiguous.

I believe this was recently fixed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8351/

nirgalo – Apply that change and see if that fixes things.

Right! I see what you mean. You could try letting the guys know over at BuddyPress Trac by raising a new ticket:

http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

They’ll be able to take a look

> I can’t find any arguments for not including the WordPress profile in BuddyPress.

The arguments are:

– The fields at wp-admin/profile.php are hardcoded in WP. There’s no way we can ask WP which fields it provides in a programmatic way; we’d have to hardcode them as well. This is inelegant; it causes problems when other plugins add their own (hardcoded) fields, which BP won’t know about; and it will require keeping up with WP if they decide to switch which fields are included on that page.
– The fields at wp-admin/profile.php are very odd, and not appropriate for most BuddyPress installations (or most websites that were built after 2004 – who uses AIM, and who among them would want to store that information in their WP profile?)

As noted in the ticket, First Name and Last Name are the two possible exceptions I see here.

add_action('get_template_part_members/single/member-header', 'add_member_header_stack', 10, 2);
add_action('bp_locate_template', 'remove_member_header_stack', 10, 6);
function add_member_header_stack($slug, $name) {
	add_filter( 'bp_get_template_stack', 'my_custom_stack' );
}
function remove_member_header_stack($located, $template_name, $template_names, $template_locations, $load, $require_once) {
	if("members/single/member-header.php" == $template_name) {
		remove_filter( 'bp_get_template_stack', 'my_custom_stack' );
	}
}
function my_custom_stack( $stacks = array() ) {
	$retval = array();
	$retval[] = '/path/to/plugin';
	foreach ($stacks as $stack) {
		$retval[] = $stack;
	}
	return $retval;
}

This is the best way to do this in my opinion.
Also just adding your stack would work, but I added conditions to only apply this filter when needed and remove after. Not sure how much resource it will save but just tried to be fancy.

To understand what this function filter does, I suggest reading this codex

@alanbeck

Hopefully you’ve got this sorted… but if not try this plugin…

#4357 – I agree that something needs to be done. bbPress already adds a “Forums” section on a BP profile, so perhaps bbPress can simply redirect /forums/users/USERNAME/ to BP’s /members/USERNAME/forums. I would say this is more a bbPress issue than a BuddyPress one. Please add a ticket to bbPress Trac about this. (Use the same credentials you use on buddypress.org to create a new ticket.)

#3335 already has comments on it regarding why WP’s profile is not included with BuddyPress. I do find it odd that bbPress allows users to edit WordPress’ user profile though… I’ve created a new ticket with some further thoughts – #5619

Hi, folks,

I’ve seen that this thing of activation e-mail is quite a headache for some people using BP. I’m currently having some trouble too. Most of the time, when a user creates an account on the site I’m working on, the e-mail with the activation link is sent ok. But for some users, the link on the e-mail comes without the key (something like http://www.site.com/activate/?key=), what results in the page asking a activation key. The problem is that I can’t reproduce the issue, but I received even a print screen from an user showing that the problem indeed exist.

I’ve installed Unconfirmed plugin to check if there is users that are not confirmed, and there are a couple of users. I can see the activation key for every unconfirmed user. What can be causing this issue?

I’m currently using Buddypress 1.8.1, bbPress 2.4.1, and for the themed login, I’m using Theme My Login 6.3.9. I’m using too WordPress Social Login 2.1.3 for give users a social login option. To style the e-mails, I’m using WP Better Emails 0.2.6.5.

Thanks for any help!

If you are using WordpPress multisite by default anyone signing up to example1.com will be able to log-in to example3.com –
But by default he will only be able to see his own profile. You will then have to manually change his role to at least subscriber for him to participate/see BuddyPress on example3.com

If you don’t have a developer you can try this plugin to automatically assign a subscriber role on example3.com to each new user registered elsewhere

Good luck!

@katieswinehart,
I dont know why you have double search button, there must be something wrong with the theme you are using or a custom script.

I just change ‘#buddypress div.dir-search ‘

from -39px 0 0 0; to -3px 0 0 0;

and everything looks fine and I can see the form.

@projectfms, you can make buddypress look whatever you want. the latest BP is compatible with any WP theme and you can customise it to look what you want or just create a custom WP theme to suit your needs.

Naijaping

Here are some suggestions and ideas:

1. and 2. Here you would configure a bit to make the roles do whatever you want when you want it.

3. It is possible to remove it and activate only the messaging component.

4. Today this is easy with the Theme Compatibility and Template Files (https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/)

Try not to repeat all the file path. Just putting:

themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
