BuddyPress.org

@wordpresschina – Thanks for the suggestion, this is exactly what I was looking for. I really do not understand one thing. Why when someone wants to register they get redirected to the Buddypress version of the registration, but when someone wants to login they go to the standard WP login page? Maybe there is something wrong with my install

Unfortunately, I am importing very basic information so I am not having the same issues as you. The only “special” info I am importing is for s drop down selecting menu. It should be noted that it does not force matching, meaning if the field requires 1 – 10 and the CSV file has 12, it will import the 12. The import only really matches up the columns. FYI… if you type something wrong in the top row like Website instead of “company website” the import will actually create a new xprofile field.

Hope this helps (or at least answers some questions.

@r-a-y Cool, thanks. Many thanks also for addressing ticket #2427

@mercime – Just looked into this bug… and found the problem! Check out ticket #2431.

@jujunkie should you encounter the bug which @r-a-y mentioned above, do this

There’s currently a bug in BP where if you have a role less than administrator, your blog and user role will not show up under “My Blogs”.

“how can multiple users write in that blog under their own names?”
Right. Basic WordPress – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor

“but how can they enter the writing zone? “
Simplest way – if your users are logged in your BP install as contributors, they can go to bp-admin-bar at top and move cursor to “My Blogs”, which has a dropdown to list of blogs. When they hover over JuConnect link, the flyout nav will show the link “Add New Post” where they will be brought to the Post > New Write panel.

@justbishop @finni3 – @r-a-y has the answers to both questions in other forum topic I found helpful

@jujunkie – hi there, you should be able to get free support from theme authors after purchasing that premium theme. I don’t know what files they have in there but here’s giving it a try:

“how can i create a button besides the ABOUT button to easily point out the blog?”
I assume that your theme has a home.php (most premium themes do), so follow #2 instruction here – http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/ – take care to delete the space between less than sign and question mark in the posted codes

“how can multiple users write in that blog under their own names?”
Do you mean you want to set up your installation as one site with many authors – you’re not giving them free blogs? Then you should at least make your users “Contributors” – where you have to approve each post before in order for the post to be published – or “Authors” whose can publish their posts without any moderation.

“how can the titles or summaries of those posts be shown in the homepage?”
Looks like your home page is widgetized in the left column. Go to Appearance > Widgets and get the “Recent Posts” widget on left side and move to appropriate widget name.

@yocalif

For buddypress, you can start with the readme.txt in the downloaded file
For WPMU, you can start with this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU

A child theme is basically a stylesheet with a tag telling WordPress to use another theme as its foundation.
Then you can inherit all the templates that foundation theme uses and you can also override these templates in your own child theme.

Please read the article I linked to and start reading from the “Let’s start building” section.
If you have any questions about it, please list them.

How about eliminating the reply function from the activity stream, that way users can only click on link to original questions or post and reply in there as opposed to replying in the activity stream. Would that solve the problem for you @Pisanojm

You need wpmu, or WP 3.0 with multisite activated in order for your members to maintain their own blogs. Someone else will need to field the other questions.
