BuddyPress.org

wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\MYTHEME\members\single\home.php

In case it saves anyone else 5 hours of looking, here’s what worked for me. Copy the files from the default theme and do NOT put them all in a folder named buddypress, which was how I interpreted the codex entry. Also, for my theme, I needed to comment out line 80 of home.php:

<?php //get_sidebar( 'buddypress' ); ?>

Since my theme has no sidebars, this was making my site go splat.

I’m trying to edit home.php, and specifically the nav menu. Copied file:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\home.php

Edited this line:

<div style="border:5px solid red">
<?php do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' ); ?>
</div>

Should I see a red border around the nav menu? Nothing happens.

You can contact @shanebp and see if he is accepting clients at this time.

Which file(s) would I use to edit the default layout for this URL:
http://www.mysite.com/members/membername

I am assuming this is Xprofile (the page that I get when I click on someone’s name). I want to edit how this profile looks for all members. So far, all the file structures that I tried, failed to produce an edit to this main page.

@ davni:
If this helps, the following structure produced an edit on the Profile tab inside the Member profile. I copied this file and made an edit:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\profile.php

Then I created this directory structure:
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\profile.php

This doesn’t edit the main profile page, but instead, the tab inside it. Still don’t know how to edit main layout.

@magnusnordqvist,

to verify if gettext is enabled localy, you probably have to read your MAMP or WAMP user manual. 😉

Did you made your translation correctly ? I mean by usig poEdit (or similar software) to generate the compiled mo file ?

Once correctly compiled, the translation file must be in the language themes folder.

wp-content/languages/themes/your_theme-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/buddypress-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/twentythirteen-sv_SE.mo

etc……

Create a folder in your theme called ‘buddypress’

Copy a single file into that folder.

For example, copy this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

into this folder:
yourtheme/buddypress/members/

Then make a change to that file.

Did you try this? I am interested in doing the same thing. I would like to install buddypress with multiple blogs. I think I would like to keep the buddy press active for only one site on multisite, that way I can use all the plugins I want on the other blog sites. And not have to worry about compatibly with BP.

Did this work for you? Thank you.

Anybody there..??

I have similar confusion. I have read the BP codex entry here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

It says to create files inside your theme, in a folder called /buddypress. I am unable to match this template hierarchy against the plugin files, in order to do edits in my theme. I downloaded several themes to look for an example, but none of them had a /buddypress folder. So, I cannot figure out what directory structure I should have, and which files to copy.

I guess I will try copying the files from bp-themes/bp-default into {mytheme}/buddypress.

I’m having this exact same issue

I seem to have the same issue. disabled all plugins and switched my theme to Twenty Twelve disabled and re-enabled buddypress. issue still persists

Had the same question a couple of days ago.

Here’s the answer.

Personally I would recommend a host close to where your community is located. This helps a lot with speed already. Since most of the “recommended” hosts are located in US, which will make your site load slow if your for example located in Europe.

to the group,

I am running WordPress 3.6 and BuddyPress 1.8.1 and have the exact same problem as above. When I fill out the Registration Form and his submit, it just blanks out my “Confirm Password” field and re-displays the form with the original data that I entered. I have tried changing the Twenty Twelve or bp-default themes, but no luck. Any thoughts?

thank you!

Hi Guys – had the same problem but simply used a WordPress user approval plug in which worked fine with BuddyPress. I used: https://wordpress.org/plugins/new-user-approve/

Update: When logged in, I am replicating the problem due to the toolbar appearing in the header. The solution above works when a user isn’t logged in. Furthermore, “responsive mode” doesn’t have these issues.

I was having the exact same problem (BuddyPress 1.8.1 & WordPress 3.6). I found a solution: I turned off “Show the Toolbar for logged out users” under the Buddypress settings. It seems that the image mapping for menus may get misaligned when that setting is activated (or possibly some other conflict)

All of my menus work again on the iPad & iPhone 🙂 It should work for you too.

I’m working with Gabor and have a complementary question.

In Using bbPress 2.2+ with BuddyPress I read in the “Migrate BP Discussion Forums to bbPress” section that bbPress has a bunch of cool features that BP Discussion Forums doesn’t. Isn’t one of those features that a BP group using bbPress can have multiple forums?

After doing some research I have found that the avatar upload step was showing up in my child theme but it has been discontinued due to security risks with uploading images to the server for non-registered users. I cut this block of code out of the register.php file per the directions in this codex page:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/developer-and-designer-information/

Hi @number_6,

Members can post from front-end: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

Maping post types, markers, etc
Study this plugin or his pro version (very expensive $15 !)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-maps/

How to list your members posts (aka reviews) on their profile ? Read carefully here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-show-posts-written-by-user-on-profile/

Maybe this will help you !

ps: cool radio !

A few things to add to the situation.
I have looked in the register.php file which I can modify in my child theme folder (Registration/register.php). The code to upload an avatar during the registration process exist at the end of the register.php file. The upload step however only displays when I have my suffusion theme active. It does not show up in the default twentytwelve or twentythrirteen themes or the buddypressdefault theme.
The final step of the registration process says “Your Current Avatar” and gives the option to choose a file and upload the image. When I select a file and click the Upload Image button the cropping tool should display but it doesn’t. Instead I get directed back to an empty registration page.
Please let me know if anyone has a fix for this. I would really like to use the avatar upload in registration and I think others want this option as well.

not really any different from any other plugin, install, activate, the instructions on the repo page are a little dated, there is no wizard anymore.
