No, you have to make a lot of plugins yourself if you want to fetch most data from buddypress, you would also have to make a bbpress theme that fits your current buddypress theme and after that make redirects from the bbpress profile to your buddypress profile.

It’s a tough road, but the end is worth it.

I agree with stwc, that is a completely valuable feature. I don’t know what your problem is here, the privacy and the blog post via theme are coming anyways.

Great improvement to bp! I also like how groups and friends displayed on sidebar when viewing user profiles. Now that I won’t have to edit themes to accomplish this after 1.2.

When you thought you’ve seen it all.. you get suprised by a buddypress site for cleaners!

Looks like a nice rewrite of the “BuddyPress Corporate Theme”. Still not 100% done though, like the menu (unless you did it on purpose like that).

If it’s completely blank, and viewing the source code in the browser is blank too, my first thought would be an error in the php somewhere in the theme you’re using.

Now that is something Andy! Although kind of hard to keep up with all my theme customizations. What’s going to change there?

ALT tags and title tags of the images that appear on the home page and sub pages of buddypress sites should be taken into to consideration for an SEO plugin, or future core development. Currently my BP site rank far below other sites when you google for the actual dot com, which is also in the title in big letters with the new default bp theme. Unfortuanelty google sees a majority of my site as

“home” and “group avatar”

there should be a way to change / add title and alt tag to the large site title, and the small title in admin bar. I would also experiment with appending the site tite to some of hte other images.. it would be better for me to have:

my-dot-com-home

my-dot-com-group avatar

my-dot-com-groups

my-dot-com-blogs

etc

right now if type in my dot com into google, another site shows number one result, and that site is completely blank – just an empty dot com folder – that’s my first clue that bpress seo is in need of help –

Svenl77 – even with poor english translation – you are very right about all of that – you have certainly done your seo homework!

I know some of the issue is the text content showing in recent sitewide posts is not helping, but pretty much everything else on the page is gravatar images and others that are not helping the front page to rank for it’s keywords – I could take groups and recent active members off the front page and see the effects.

I would love to know where in the theme or code it is controlling the “home” as title of my site title, and group avatar, and blogs, etc – To those alt and title tags are the second biggest seo mistake with buddypress right now –

Hi, nice style. Are you still working on it? What is the status ???

I’d rebuild it from ground up with some WP-theme that you like and that looks similar to the one you use now.

I used the P2-theme and modified it to my liking. There’s lot to be done with my custom made theme. But it’s not impossible if you’ve got enough knowledge to make the original 1.0-theme like you seem to have done.

From the codex:

“If you decide that you’d like to change something in a template file, just copy the file from /bp-sn-parent/ and paste it into your theme. This file in your theme will now override the one in /bp-sn-parent/. Again, you should never edit any files in /bp-sn-parent/.”

So paste all that inside a working WP theme and then make the custom CSS that you need.

Well, the link you posted above in your first post will work on any domain and you won’t have to change a thing, except you might want to use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead of get_template_directory_uri(). The first function returns the child theme location (if there is one) while the second one returns the parent theme location.

thorosii, it’s possible to salvage your deprecated theme (I’ve done it).

But it requires a number of core, unsupported patches and it’s not recommended.

Andy has mentioned that BP is not going to support deprecated themes moving forward.

It would be best to do what Jeff has stated to save yourself the time.

If you really need to know the how to salvage your theme (again I state this is not recommended), let me know and I’ll do a writeup.

I am having a small issue with the new theming structure (I read all documentation there’s. So please don’t refer me there)….

I want to carry out custom changes and so far so good. However, when I use <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’) ?> it takes files from the bp-sn-parent theme. But I want to store those info in the “custom_theme” I created.

How do I reference the custom theme say in the header?

Thasnk

If you are using a custom theme, switch to the default theme. It should work – if it does, you’ll need to merge the default theme functions.php with that of your custom theme’s.

profitsbuzz, are you using the deprecated theme format?

where are the theme files located?

what happens if you revert to the stock theme 100%?

it is triggered off the wp_footer call – some themes down have it at all in the footer, in that case, put it in – i found some themes have it called in the wrong spot, and have to have it moved up higher(i have gotten the bar at the bottom of the page sometimes) play with the footer, the answer is there!
