BuddyPress.org

@zorro1965 a simple google search yielded this:

http://bp-tricks.com/coding/making-buddypress-compatible-with-the-wordpress-seo-plugin-from-yoast/

You place a lot of store by that rather ambivalent phrase or acronym SEO, back in the day when we built sites freehand, we covered this requirement simply by following good Standards, which google was starting to grasp and use as it’s measure.

What exactly is so poor in BP’s data/content presentation that you think it requires further manipulation to the extent that if you can’t do so you would actually ditch the entire application, that response just sounds bizarre to me.

WP always did manage to get indexed pretty well by search engines, why or how is BP so bad and why are you so disappointed in the lack of response here to your assertion that BP needs SEO so badly.

Search engine indexing I grant you is important – sadly – BP could probably be massaged in the area of titles perhaps. SEO on the other hand is snake oil to many of us that have been around a while.

And the best answer has been given above I’m afraid, contact the plugin author commission him to update the plugin to work with BP, sometimes you have to pay a little to earn a little.

Dear Guys,

As far as I can understand from the previous post I would have the same question as the topic starter.

I would like to move the whole buddypress toolbar from the admin menu to the top nav as the picture shows below.

Could somebody help me how to achive it?

Thank you for advance!

Search for: Facebook WP lookalikes themes. BuddyPress will integrate with almost every WP Theme.

Thanks for searching around,

Bummer, I was so excited about BuddyPress 1.7 but it’s a little disappointed that such a WP DNA features aren’t included.
I’ve made some bbPress themes before and I love how simple the page templates can be moved around and extended by just calling them different names like you would do by a regular WP Theme.

Hope that will ever be the feature for BuddyPress.

For now, I have to accept losing the page.php template to BuddyPress only and add a Custom Page Template for every other created page inside the WP Dashboard.
By doing so i can clean-up all HTML inside the page.php and move it two templates higher -> members/index.php just before all the BuddyPress stuff starts to roll.

It’s not the best en most beautiful solution but it works for now.

Hard ticket to find:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639

While hunting remembered that Paul’s guide had been linked to on that ticket originally, perhaps we can give it a little more prominence?

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/template-hierarchy/

If that is the page existed??!! seems the page has been removed entirely @DJPaul ?

@patrykos360 Deleted some elements and divs – groups/index.php which is for the Groups Directory Page http://pastebin.com/sU6CXdJN

If that doesn’t work, then as Hugo mentioned above you should also consider contacting theme author and point to the instructions I posted in other site. Won’t blame you if you ditched BuddyPress but I don’t see you as one who quits 🙂

Sidenote: BP 1.7 beta renders BP templates similar to how bbPress does it. Curious, have you checked if forum topics are duplicated if you use Continuum as well?

@nicholas-ritson Windows server? Did you add index.php to the permalink structure for pretty permalinks? It won’t work with BuddyPress. Use the first example posted in https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite or contact webhost for assistance

@hogjonny

First, the only group you’ve created is http://quantumtwingames.com/groups/fans-quantumtwingames/

Second, looks like you didn’t template-pack or apply the HTML structure changes you made in your other BP template files to /groups/single/home.php

@hnla I saw that guide created by @djpaul but can’t find it now as well. There is this one by @modemlooper https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/

At this point however, you can’t adjust HTML structure per component in BP 1.7 if you use legacy templates loaded (can’t find the ticket where Roger/you/me/etc posted about this matter) or maybe I overlooked something, I have tested (not fully though) and used BP Template Pack plugin on a couple of themes in BP 1.7 trunk.

That approach is the proven standard.
Here’s a thread on it:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/display-custom-post-types-in-activity-feed/

You don’t say where you’re trying that code.
So it might be the file location or maybe something in how you built the cpts.

i think he must be since he’s talking about the admin bar and categories

@tonewilliams When you say “post”, you mean post/activity, right? Or are you talking about “post” as in a blog post?

that’s not normal maybe your general wp settings are making new users something other then subscribers? the default member role does not grant posting capability.

@dasped First, glad you resolved the first issue pm your own 🙂

Second, by default you should as keymaster and even moderator, edit, close, stick, merge, trash or spam forum posts.
– Which kind of forum are you encountering the problem in? Group or Sitewide Forums?
– Did you follow the updated instructions for setting up Group/Sitewide Forums at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Better to contact Joost.

SEO for everyone

This is actually not an issue, if you want to understand the nature of this read this ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4344#comment:4

well what i would suggest is to network enable buddypress meaning that the buddypress pages would only exist on the primary site.

if you want to do the other thing i’d google “multiple instances of buddypress” looks like theres some good stuff there. but again i would not suggest that unless you are sure you need it that way because it’s not really the way buddypress is intended to be setup.
