BuddyPress.org

Thanks @mercime, I shall surely ask at the theme forum, but I also wanted to know about how to work with Buddy Press, the initials to build up a Social kind of site. I shall go through the tutorials, and then again come up here , if have any issues.
Well, I thought I would get a reply to how to start with buddypress.

Looking for guidance on the below:

So I am trying my best to make something happen here:
themes/my-child-theme/buddypress/members/index.php

When I make changes to the above page, nothing happens, any ideas? Am I on the wrong page?

How can I hide members yet have them connect?

Thanks

What if we have an existing website we are looking to incorporate Buddypress? Hence, WordPress was already loaded via the 1 Click App when we initially set the site up. The url we are referencing is http://findthecapital.com.

Hi @mercime,

I received activation email when i installed wp-client earlier, but i don’t know why i don’t get the activation mail for buddypress. The Website is hosted with Supremecluster in the US.

Please, could it be from my host or probably from wrong settings?

Thanks

Just a bump. Anybody?

I think this would really advance Buddypress templating if it could be figured out.

It would give a choice of 2 different types of menu for template developers, enabling limitless possibilities.

That’s what I thought it was for. Thanks for verifying @mercime – I was half thinking such capability settings would be performed via the backend dashboard – but of course this is BuddyPress – for front end stuff! 🙂

hi,
finally i found a plugin to manage it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/screenshots/

thanks,

Sorry I didn’t include the code for that. Yes, it is in the wp functions.php file, but it is relevant to bp theme. Here is the full function that line 100 is found in. Line 100 is the third to last, which starts with “add action”.

/**
 * Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress and BuddyPress features.
 *
 * Note that this function is hooked into the after_setup_theme hook, which runs
 * before the init hook. The init hook is too late for some features, such as indicating
 * support post thumbnails.
 *
 * To override bp_dtheme_setup() in a child theme, add your own bp_dtheme_setup to your child theme's
 * functions.php file.
 *
 * @global BuddyPress $bp The one true BuddyPress instance
 * @since BuddyPress (1.5)

function bp_dtheme_setup() {

	// Load the AJAX functions for the theme
	require( get_template_directory() . '/_inc/ajax.php' );

	// This theme styles the visual editor with editor-style.css to match the theme style.
	add_editor_style();

	// This theme comes with all the BuddyPress goodies
	add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts' ) ) :

In the first install the failed bp had been installed and working for a few days. It suddenly gave errors when I edited a css color code on line 1211 in this file and uploaded it to the server by ftp. Yeah, I know you might say I made a mistake, but I know I did it correctly. And they you might say the file got corrupted in transfer, except that the second install on godaddy had no such changes or transfers and in short order – less than an hour of use with no other plugins or style changes – gave the same final error for line 100 when I changed my public name in the buddypress members listing, at which point neither the front nor back ends were accessible.

Looking forward to your insights.

The Mystery Man image is selected in Settings > Discussion.
What is happening is that Buddypress is assigning a new user id # to new members but the folder for that user id # still exists so they are inheriting an old image avatar. When they go to upload their avatar for the first time the old deleted profile image appears instead of the Mystery Man image.
I suppose a quick fix is to FTP into the wp-content/uploads/avatars folder and delete out any of the deleted user folders so that this doesn’t happen.

I would think that Buddypress would delete these old avatar image folders when users or admin decide to delete a profile. When plugins are deleted the folders are deleted from the server so I am not sure why the avatar files should be any different.

Nevermind, I figured it out!

I created a buddypress.php file AND a bbpress.php file and uploaded them to my theme directory.

I created these files as copies from my page-template-full-width.php file.

Thank you so much for the help!
