I have a critical comment for you.. You are reselling premium themes from WPMUDev premium on your own site.. I would call that stealing my friend…http://dutchmall.nl/buddypressthemas/2009/12/03/buddypress-community-thema-premium/

Basically you are reselling all themes and plugins from other people for your own benefit.. I am not sure if this is illegal (I think so, but I don’t know much about the GPL license), but I presume you know this is wrong ?

I really liked the vimeo theme. But I wouldn´t mind paying for it!

Hi Xevo!

I’m looking forward to try your “talkmore” theme. It looks very nice. Do you know, when you’ll be finished?

Greetings

Thanks for the help.

I have to admit that at first I was a little annoyed with the “people really shouldn’t be asking these questions, either you know how to make themes or you dont” comment until I looked into firebug.

I have heard about it but never checked it out until now. My loss and I now realize how much time I have lost over the years without it.

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of what looks like will be my new favorite firefox extension.

Check line 782, and people really shouldn’t be asking these questions, either you know how to make themes or you dont. We can’t help everyone that can’t find a css line..

Use firebug to find certain styles people..

Since my question also has to do with widget styling on the default theme I hope it is okay to ask it here.

I am trying to make the background color for the recent site wide posts to be transparent and cant seem to figure out where this is located in my screen.css file.

You can see the white area on my homepage http://starcraft2gamer.com

Thanks!

I also just tried to create an account on your site. I’m getting stuck in a redirect from http://coastalnet.co.uk/register (correct) to http://coastalnet.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://coastalnet.co.uk/register (incorrect).

Does your server support htaccess / mod_rewrite directs properly? Are you on Apache, Nginx or a Windows server?

Specifically, do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress running? Also, I’m not sure if that’s your browser settings theming the page, or whether you’re running a custom theme. Revert to the default if you’ve customised the theme as a test.

Whoa, yeah. The other pages are pulling from the bp-parent theme.

Are you sure you just have the bp default theme active?

Hi Keith

It should be as simple as copying all of the templates from the BuddyPress theme and pasting them into the WordPress theme. Be sure to copy and paste over all of the CSS from the BuddyPress theme also.

I expect you won’t want to overwrite any files that may already be in your thesis theme (index.php, for example).

I have a solution:

You need to edit the buddypress members loop file located probably at /wp-content/themes/bp-themes/bp-sn-parent/directories/members/members-loop.php

Find the members loop and make it look something like this:

<?php while ( bp_site_members() ) : bp_the_site_member(); ?>

<?php // put member name into variable

ob_start();

bp_the_site_member_name();

$excluded_user = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

?>

<?php if($excluded_user != ‘name of user goes here’) { ?>

// ORIGINAL CONTENTS OF LOOP GO HERE

<?php } // end if $excluded_user !=… ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Note that this will compare the name that the user entered in their profile, not to be confused with the login name. It would probably be best to give the user a complex name that nobody else would likely use so that you don’t accidentally hide unsuspecting users. Maybe you can figure out how to get the actual login name though.

Good luck to all

and worth mention here

the basic layout is controlled by plugin-template.php for settings page currently,but the settings output is internal generated ,as Andy Has already pointed.

Settings pages are internal to the app, so as it stands you cannot edit the HTML for these pages. This will change.

If it’s just the CSS you’re worried about, why not just call the CSS file directly into the bbPress theme and see what happens?

Wow, those ajax functions must make that server nuts..

Am I allowed to copy this theme and make it a buddypress theme?

I’m just finishing up a post on how to do backups.

“I thought about the index.html as well, but that would still make people loose their posts they are editing when upgrade is taken place (or is failing), wouldn’t it?”

Hopefully you’ll have booted them out & warned them. Don’t upgrade on the middle of a Thursday, for instance. First thing Monday morning, early on a Saturday – those are times I pick, though I also have the advantage of being in an earlier timezone than my users.

“So you also do not (even) deactivate the BP-plugins?”

I mostly do MU sites, but yeah. I’d just keep on going… (Do the instructions say to deactivate it? I can’t say I ever looked…)

I tyr the auto-upgrades first, and then if needed (or if it’s a big upgrade) I do it manually. Much safer.

“By the way, myself and some others had a white screen of death last upgrade. Not just just main blog, but all blogs, the moment I clicked the de-activate BuddyPress button. Apparently this could have been prevented by switching theme first”

Yep. the theme is looking for BP and you turned it off. Kind of predictable, really.

I did a post here about backups, mostly via ssh, if someone wants to give it a read-over.

That’s because there is no buddypress theme for your users blogs, they just take the standard wordpress theme, just like when you would make a WPSA install.
