1 is a usage issue. So I can get this into my old school brain… most forums have a structure like this:
Forum
— Category
—- PostsIf I understand this right bbPress format would be:
Groups
— Postsis there no way to set categories?
2 Do bbPress addons still work after integration with buddypress or do we have to run buddypress specific addons?
Sorry about the double post! like i said…site was goin a little crazy on me last night
Thanks so much mercime i really appreciate it and cant wait to show the site once it’s done2 quick questions…
Should I assume that full width pages are a no go?
lol
and will the changes finally show once all the pages have been edited?Topic: Allow users to change Theme
Hi, I am reskinning a buddypress site for a client but they want to give users the choice between viewing the old site and the new site so they can see which people prefer.
To do this I would like to build the new site as a fresh install (the original version is now a mess!) and create a second theme that looks like the old site. So I have two main questions
1 – Can I put a button on the front end of the site to allow the users to toggle between the two themes? or even just an option in their dashboard would do.
2 – on the ‘old site theme’ is it possible for me to just hardcode into the theme the widgets/profile pages etc they would see so they wouldn’t get any of the new site functionality
Or if anyone has any better ways I can allow people to swap between the two versions all suggestions are welcome. I blame facebook and twitter for putting the idea in the clients head
I guess I had a picture in my head of how this would work: I would have a tab on my website “Community” and people could click on that, enter a screen name and password, and then they would be able to access the discussion forum. Not sure if that’s how it works!
I am a WordPress novice but can follow instructions fairly well. (my site is http://www.emmastangl.com)
So my questions are as follows:
1) Do i have to “create a group” in order for people to be able to join my discussion forum? I just want one plain old discussion board, with multiple topics.
2) It says you have to have registration enabled, so people can register. How do I make sure it’s enabled?
Here is my the initial info we are supposed to provide when asking for help:
1. Which version of WP/MU are you running? WordPress 3.2 (I don’t even know what WordPress MU is)
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install? It’s my main website, so I think “directory”
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? I am pretty sure it is just to http://www.emmastangl.com
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version? I was using WordPress 3.1.2 I think
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.2.9
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No, I downloaded it today for the first time
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? I have installed a bunch that I’m not really using yet, but I guess they are still running in the background. Ad-Minister, Akismet (not registered), BuddyPress template pack, Contact Form 7, FlickRSS, Jetpack, My Page Order, Permalink Editor, Really Simple CAPTCHA, Simple Tags, WordPress Importer, WordPress Popular Posts, WP-PageNavi, WP Simple Paypal Shopping Cart, Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? I have been using the Mantra theme, I did not realize it was not compatible with Buddypress. I downloaded the Buddypress Template Pack plugin, and the test worked (going to my site and looking at options under “My Account”, but since I don’t know how Buddypress is supposed to work I can’t really tell whether I have access to all the functions or not. It seemed to show up OK visually, although it moved the contents of my sidebar downwards.
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? I don’t think so
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? ummm I don’t think so
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? I don’t know, in buddypress setup I selected “use a new installation”, and it did it. Should I have said “use an existing”? Again, I just did this today so hopefully that tells you which version it is
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. I do not know how to access this information
14. Which company provides your hosting? Bluehost
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? I don’t know. I have a Windows computer.
Those are general multisite questions.
“- Where is the code? Is it replicated, or pulled from a single location?”
One codebase. pulled from one spot.
“- Should I be worried about the load?”
by just turning on multisite? no.
“Can I keep it from loading on select sites?”
that admin bar? yes.“- Can my messing about with BuddyPress somehow affect my other sites?”
depends. edit the files directly and whitescreen something and maybe it will show up everywhere.
generally, no.you read my blog now, right?
http://wpmututorials.comTopic: Fatal error in admin section
I just installed Buddypress on a version of wordpress 3.0.4.
It worked fine.
I then tried to install the album plugin and it crashed my admin section. I can’t click anythin in the admin section without getting this error message:Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_album_admin() (previously declared in /home/jaxsadul/public_html/cilcks.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/includes/bp-album-admin-network.php:14) in /home/jaxsadul/public_html/cilcks.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/includes/bp-album-admin-local.php on line 331
since It already altered the code, I cant see what the old code looked like.
here is what it is now (line 331 is the second to last line):<?php

I thought it would be most useful for the BP community if I posted a link to our new site – then answer any questions and post tutorials and code snippets as the need arises.
The site – http://skiddnet.com – is an automotive social community that is designed to support our other automotive properties – SkiddMark (editorial/magazines) and SkiddPlayer (the largest branded content platform for automotive videos). You can find links to these sites in the footer.
I built SkiddNet originall on Webligo’s social engine 3 platform (using Smarty templates & PHP), then redeveloped it on social engine 4 (Zend PHP). Unlike Buddypress, social engine is a paid product and most of the add-ons and plugins are also paid with a huge amount of nulled software that makes it a minefield if you try looking for code snippets. There’s very little documentation and little sharing between developers and therefore coding standards are highly variable.
So here we have the site now redeveloped on Buddypress.
The basic premise of SkiddNet is to foster the creation of quality editorial content, so we are using Paul’s achievement plugin to reward this behavior.
The site adopts a multisite configuration based on the bpdefault theme, but using a bespoke theme for user blogs. Both themes use the wootumblog plugin to create posts using the wordpress post taxonomies (aside, video, image, quote etc..) and posts are aggregated across the network into the main site using WPMU sitewide tags plugin. This is the part that I’m least happy about – it’s still pretty clunky and I’m still working on debugging it.
I also use a series of custom functions to grap images from posts and display on index pages (although there are a few bugs that I’m still fixing on this too).
All of the design and features are contained in a child-theme of bpdefault, so it upgrades effortlessley (the recent upgrade to BP1.29 went smoothly). I have also redesigned the WP admin with changes made to menu items, dashboard widgets, login page and the header and footer.
I have also developed our own BP admin bar – which is now fixed at the bottom of the screen.
You’re welcome to take a look around and then pick my brains on how particular features were created – I’ll try and answer as many questions as I can and share any custom code.
We’re in the snagging phase ironing out the remaining bugs, so if you spot something and can suggest a fix I’d be most grateful to hear from you.
Thanks
I will be configuring my main site as a multisite (WP 3.2). I also want to add BuddyPress for a Community Network. I’m leaning towards adding it to a subdomain, community.mysite.com. I’ll then have their blogs in community.mysite.com/blogs/.
Questions:
1. When the user signs in at the main site, will they have full access to their account in community.mysite.com (where BP is installed)?
2. With BP installed on the subdomain, am I able to post anything back to the main domain, such as Who’s Online, pull community blog posts, etc.?Thank you, Tonya
Lately I have been running some local (WAMP) tests to learn more about WordPress Network and BuddyPress. For instance how to install BuddyPress on a secondary blog, which worked out swimmingly, so thanks for that!
One thing still mystifies me about BuddyPress on a Network: Upon network activation (I don’t see any other way, so I assume this is how I’m supposed to do it) there’s suddenly a top-level black menu added to every site across my network. Magic! I don’t mind it at all, it’s just rather mystifying is all.
I would like to kindly request either an addition to “before installing“, or a new page all together, like “installing BuddyPress on WordPress Network”, that explains the how-to’s and mind-you’s of the process. I didn’t mind seeing the BP menu pop up everywhere, but some questions came to mind:
– Where is the code? Is it replicated, or pulled from a single location?
– Should I be worried about the load?
– Can I keep it from loading on select sites?
– Can my messing about with BuddyPress somehow affect my other sites?
I think these type of questions ought to be answered in an official doc somewhere.It also took me a while to realize how exactly user registrations on a WordPress Network work (ugh), especially in accord with BuddyPress, but that might be more of a WPN-specific topic.
What do I do with it? Do I create a file or do I add it to an existing file. If I create a new file what type do I create and where do I put it? If it matters I use FTP to access my database. Please provide as much detail as possible.

Hello, thank you very much for clicking on this topic, I really appreciate your attention.
Basically I’ve just set up my website (benaball.com) with BuddyPress, I’ve already changed a few things about it so that it suites my needs, but unfortunately I’m not brilliant, there’s some things I can’t figure out.
1. First of all the header up the top appears to be anchored on the left side, what I mean by this is when the web browser is re sized, and the website automatically changes to fix the window, the header image sticks to the one side. I want it to be centered if possible.
2. Tabs, so as you would know, the BuddyPress default theme contains tabs, but again, when the web window is re sized these buttons attempt to look good in the new width. Is there any way of preventing them from auto-adjusting? Because if you’re using the site in a thin window the tab buttons stack on top of each other and look ridiculous.
3. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I’ve downloaded a plugin called “Recent Posts Slider”, I would like to place this above all the posts on the left side. Where would I paste the code?
Thankyou very much for reading and I hope you can help me out. They may seem like silly questions, and I might sound like a newb, and this is because, I am a newb when it come to this stuff.
Thanks.
Ben
You’re not going to get told off again
but I’m afraid you are asking coding questions, questions about how to adapt and modify a site and that requires a little coding knowledge, not everything is plugin based – although a lot is.Sorry pcwriter but don’t link to W3Schools it’s not that great a site and we forbade it’s mention on csscreator years ago
One of the best resources for frontend coding is htmldogOurs is a large content based portal that uses WordPress as its CMS.
We were planning to give our community some networking abilities and want to install buddypress for that. But when we install a buddypress theme, the whole site loses its portal look. So a couple of questions:
1. Can we keep a separate theme for buddypress pages, like a child theme for buddypress section only? or some other option.
2. If that is not possible, can we run two wordpress installations – one without buddypress for cms and one with buddypress – and share their users+login somehow.
Thanks for your help.
