@jloc14 Delete BuddyPress plugin. Then re-install BuddyPress plugin. Upload your child theme folder in wp-content/themes/ folder.

P.S. A child theme needs a parent theme, in this case the BuddyPress Default theme. Please do not delete it again.

want all BuddyPress pages to be displayed without sidebars.

@marketmynovel which forum tutorial did you read so far? Have you checked out https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ? After creating a new Page for Forums, did you add the shortcode https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ ?

I have run through the bp-Compatibility steps and on step three where I have to adjust the layout through FTP connectivity, I tried method 1 and 2 without pass.

@sizons Step 3, method 1 and method 2 … suspiciously sounds very very familiar and used in relation to the BP Template Pack – BP Compatibility process used up to BP 1.6.10.

If this is the case, please deactivate BP Template Pack plugin and remove the 6 BP Template folders from your Artisteer theme folder in server. With BP 1.7 and above, BP is compatible with nearly all WP themes without lifting a finger. Now check how the BP pages are showing up in your theme.

If you did not use the BP Template Pack plugin, then I will exit stage left and leave you with @hnla 🙂 Before I do, read up on hnla’s excellent article on BP Theme Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/ and if you want to customize your theme further, check out r-a-y’s awesome article https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/template-hierarchy/

You can copy templates over and then remove roles

I was just abut to post this exact same question. Anyone out there able to help us out?

I want my user profiles (front end view) to open up a custom page. If this is not an option then I would like the standard “Profile” page to show.

TIA BuddyPress gurus!

Which version of Buddypress you have?
Do you use WP Toolbar or the BuddyBar?
The above works (at least for me) with BuddyBar.

Not necessarily related, well in a sense 🙂 but John is lead dev for both projects, and although you say it’s BP related as ‘groups’ related I think the problem and fix probably does rest with how bbp is handling things ( could well be wrong though).

so many error when i try it..

 function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() { global $bp; global $wp; remove_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2); if (is_user_logged_in()) return false; echo '•' . __('Log In', 'buddypress') . '
'; // Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed if (bp_get_signup_allowed()) { echo '•' . __('Sign Up', 'buddypress') . '
'; } } add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1);
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/...../public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:14) in /home/....../public_html/wp/wp-login.php on line 368

You can try the following.
Into your /plugins folder create a file bp-custom.php.
Into the file put the following code:

function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
    global $bp;
    global $wp;
    remove_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2);
    if (is_user_logged_in())
        return false;
    echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a href="NEW_LOGIN_URL">' . __('Log In', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    // Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
    if (bp_get_signup_allowed()) {
        echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a href="' . bp_get_signup_page(false) . '">' . __('Sign Up', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    }
}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1);

You have raised this on bbpress support and John has responded so let that thread run.

The docs can always take improvement, and I think no one involved with them would claim they are anywhere close to covering all that’s required, but writing them can be very time consuming . The theme compat ones that exist, I thought pretty much covered the detail necessary, but as in all things can always stand reviewing and improving.
In your opening post it struck there was a possible level of confusion between the older approach to custom themes using template pack plugin and theme compat as of 1.7. ?

Essentially if allowing BP to run with the newish theme compatibility ( i.e you do not select bp-default theme, or you do not have any bp directories in the theme root e.g /my-theme/members/index.php ) then BP component screens should fit to match a themes content area. In this sense one doesn’t need now to worry about the markup structure as BP uses what exists in page.php (or any of the proscribed file names it looks for first) So here the important question is to ask whether it’s possible you are mixing BP templates i.e some in your theme root, some in theme compat directory – in your theme the only place you should have BP templates is located within a top level directory /my-theme/buddypress/ or /my-theme/community/

In your page.php example the important section is the get_template part that includes the page content loop that’s where /what BP grabs to inject it’s data to.

Now what isn’t known is how your chosen theme is managing styles for those sidebars, but if you want absolute control in being able to configure a primary template file for BP screens then you can copy page.php rename to ‘buddypress.php’ and locate that in /my-theme/buddypress/ now in that file you may call specific sidebars as in get_sidebar(‘buddypress’) along with a new sidebar sidebar-buddypress.php

At the end of the day I think the initial issue to resolve is the (possible) confusion between the two ways of managing BP templates and that you probably want to ensure that full theme compatibility is being allowed to run ( again the bottom line to ensure that this is the case is that one has NO BP templates in the theme whatsoever, letting BP handle injecting it’s content via whatever files the theme provides )

@modemlooper, thank you so much that code works, really appreciate the help

The theme you are using is not bp default or twenty twelve. The BuddyPress part of the page looks custom. What theme is this?

i know this is an old thread but its top of the list on google for the cdn buddypress avatar search …. @pisanojm did you ever find a solution to this using push origin cdn’s …for anyone else the maxcdn company seems to work with buddypress avatars but you can’t permanently store your files there you have to have them mirrored on your local web server … i have to offload the thousands of avatar files off the web app server …onto a cdn …need to use push cdn like cloud files ..or self hosted with w3 total cache plugin ..any advice would be greatly appreciated!?

Thank you and I am really sorry for the inconvenience, if I need anything else I will start a new topic.

Hello 😡 I have this problem after register

and the member don´t get the e-mail to active your account

Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Argument number must be greater than zero in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 255

I have multi site too
I don´t change the core files 🙂 NEVER 😉

why? Thanks =D for all hard work
from Brazil

love bp

I have followed your suggestion to add the Profile link to a second theme location menu. However, now it shows in both menus. How can I specify it just to show in one and not the other? Here is my code:

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) { 	
	if (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'footer-nav' ) 
		return $menu;
	else
		$profilelink = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain( '/' ) . '">' . __('My Profile', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
    		$menu = $profilelink . $menu;
    		return $menu;
}

Thanks!

well ‘community’ always did exist as a location but it’s preference I guess, personally I like ‘community’ as it denotes what the directory is for but it’s half a dozen of one six of the other.
