BuddyPress.org

i don’t think thats actually possible currently without some serious db hackery i do believe there is a feature request for import/export functions which would eventually allow for it though.

@jonny_w no problem. For future reference-> https://codex.buddypress.org/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/

It’s confusing because it has old directions that do not pertain to BP 1.7. The install process has been simplified.

@palmdoc the signature plugin for bbPress should work for sitewide and group forums set up with bbPress plugin. I do not think that the signature plugin ever worked on the legacy Group forums in the first place. As for legacy group forums per se, following are your options: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/using-bbpress-2-2-with-buddypress/

Using IE developer tools I can see that line 1720 of bp’s default.css uses a filter that starts as white ( #ffffff ). If this line is turned off then the white text of the add to cart button can be seen.

It can also be seen that Woocommerce colours this text white though I can’t tell you the line it’s on.

Using Firebug with firefox it seems that woocommerce colours the button background with it’s own ‘mozilla’ only gradient which seems missing from the ie version

This should be fixable by adding to the child theme style sheet

Try using Firebug with Firefox, or use the developer tools in Chrome, Safari and IE, or Opera Dragonfly to see for yourself.

There are two free plugins which can enable multiple BuddyPress networks. I would recommend that you wait until either has been upgraded for BP 1.7

– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ – shared userbase across networks but don’t know if you can activate on per site basis

– http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/installation/ –
you can activate BP per subsite and userbase per site is not saved

Best thing is to ask the respective plugin devs for more info.

Good luck

@voopress
Same here on 1.7, try this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

I would say yes, there is an advantage to installing bbPress plugin. With the latest BuddyPress 1.7, you can set up BuddyPress group forums using the standalone bbPress.

With both plugins now being separate, it means that you can use the BuddyPress plugins for customizing groups, members, and messages, and then also use bbPress plugins to customise the actual forum.

Glad you got it worked out and thanks for explaining the process for novices that may run into the same issue.

Thanks for the support guys. The directory structure advice worked. Note: The BP template files are still picked up if you put them in the root of the child theme – think that’s what threw me. Perhaps that could be changed at some point.

@hnla your page is fine. For complete noobs (like me) see instructions below:

CSS changes:
Make all changes in style.css in child theme. This overrides both the main theme and BuddyPress CSS styles.

HTML/PHP changes:
Create a directory called buddypress in child theme. Copy any files that need editing from ../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress to this new directory. You must keep the directory structure but you only need copy over files that need editing. For example, if you need to edit../member/index.php the folder “member” needs to exist in childtheme/buddypress.

The above worked for me in this environment:
A child theme of a third party theme (Elegant Themes) * BuddyPress 1.7 beta 2. (no template pack)

BuddyPress 1.7 worked right out of the box with the Evolution theme by Elegant Themes with NO tweaks needed

Ok so I managed to find a backwards way of doing it because I needed to be able to do the same thing. Your going to need two plugins.

1. Your Preferred Role Management Plugin. I like Capacity Manager Enhanced
2. Buddypress xProfiles ACL

STEPS
1. Use your role manager to create some new roles. Name them what ever you want.
2. Go into the Users -> Profile Fields
3. Create a Field Group for your Restricted Items (not the primary one).
4. Go to the Settings -> xProfile ACL
5. Put your Field Group that you only want the Admin to be able to edit for the admin only.
6. Now this is important you need to modify the xProfile ACL php file (yes I know this makes it a hack, if xProfile ACL is updated you will lose this setting.)
6a. Go to line 240 of the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file. Comment out lines 240 – 249, the code you are commenting out is:

`
function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {
global $bp, $profile_template, $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
foreach($profile_template->groups as $key => $profile_group) {
if( ! in_array($profile_group->id, $this->user_allowed_xprofile_groups) ) {
unset($profile_template->groups[$key]);
}
}
}
`

6b. Below the code you just commented out add:
` function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {}`

7. Save your changes to the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file.

8. Now when ever you need to modify the fields log in with your admin account navigate to the user profile in buddy press and select Edit Member Profile from the tool bar. You will see the fields from the private group. Users will see the fields but when they select edit they will not be displayed.

Hope this helps.

export db and import into mamp phpmyadmin. Then you just change the url in db. This is if you just want to test theme. If you need full plugin testing you should also download wp-content

Same here, broke the site until I disabled BP login redirection.

Find a better theme? There are many frameworks & themes out there, BP is designed to work with the majority, those that it doesn’t get on with are probably not worth spending a huge amount of time trying to get fixed as it’s likely to be an issue inherent in the way the themes templates have been constructed.

1. If I visit a reviews site, I want to read reviews so I don’t see how the conversation should be separate.
2. You can use group meta to store data on a group and then filter the groups listing.
