BuddyPress.org

We ran through an exercise in unbinding many of the jQuery selectors from elements so that scripting was tied to classes rather than specific markup structure to allow for re-factoring of markup, so you ought to be able to structure markup as you wish but just pay close attention to IDs & Classes which must be preserved.

even w/ the twenty twelve theme my register page is blank. I’m running wordpress 3.5.2 and buddypress 1.8. any suggestions? my site is mpowerlive.com

@whitewolf1988 unfortunately, we do not have access to the premium theme nor your site to check if BP JS is enqueued or not, among other things. There are just too many variables to keep guessing what’s wrong with your theme’s compatibility with BP. The best place to to ask is at theme author’s site. If the theme author cannot help you at this time, think what would happen if theme development stops and you’re stuck with the theme and WordPress version it’s compatible with. Know that some premium themes lock you in so much so that if you try to change themes in the future, some content won’t show up anymore.

There is an extensive article on setting up BuddyPress and WooCommerce on xd3v. Might be helpful.

@rimoreno I suggest testing in development site before implementing in live/production site.

@jtm21 check out how unsal did it this WP theme compatible with BP and built on Bootstrap https://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite

to allow users to comment on other user’s pages?

something like this http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-activity-as-wire-updated-for-buddypress-1-6-buddypress-1-7/

I would follow #2 – Only override the template files that you need.

Keep in mind that the markup in the template files are quite specific to the JS. So that’s something that you’ll have to consider when changing the markup.

Hi Roger,

Yes, you should try and follow how the BP components do it.

View the BP_Activity_Theme_Compat class:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8/bp-activity/bp-activity-screens.php#L317

And try and emulate that in your plugin. This is only for theme compat. That does not handle bp-default.

If you want to support bp-default themes as well, let’s use the activity component again as an example.

Check out bp_activity_screen_index():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8/bp-activity/bp-activity-screens.php#L13

That adds support for bp-default. In that example, bp_core_load_template() tells BuddyPress to look for a template called ‘activity/index.php’ in your theme’s directory. If such a template exists, it will load it up the bp-default way.

If it doesn’t, then BuddyPress will try and fallback to theme compat, which is where the BP_Activity_Theme_Compat class comes in for the activity component.

Hope that clarifies things.

@joerob101 have you tried Genesis Connect for BuddyPress? https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/

It helped me get BP running on a Genesis subtheme.

Any update on what Facebook plugins work best? We never did install one because none seemed to cover Facebook/Twitter/Google at the same time, so we decided to just use Facebook.

Is it possible to have the plugin be compatible with a BuddyPress registration page where we have additional required questions, like zip code, etc for instance? Here’s what we have right now: destinationli.com/register.

Great! its my pleasure sir!. 🙂
