I am still having this issue. I’m running BP 1.0 and own theme but changed the default 1.0 member theme back… and still not working. I also have other problems (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2633).

I’m sorry you’re having troubles with your theme folders. To be clear, I want to make sure that you realize that you were not, as you state:

advised to change my “bphome” name to preserve it in case of future BP upgrades.

I assume you’re talking about the discussion we had in this thread you asked:

I assume renaming the theme is simply changing the name of its folder?

I responded:

That is correct. Make a copy of the bpmember theme, rename your copy, make whatever changes you want to it, and you have–in effect–a custom theme! Just make sure you keep your new theme in the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.

Also, in this thread where I advised you to:

Follow the same procedure as before. Make a backup of the standard bphome theme, rename it to something new…

This means, rename your backup to something new, not change the name of the original theme folder.

Furthermore, as per a private conversation you initiated with me on May 6 via the members messaging system, I state that:

Make sure that you make a copy of both bphome theme and bpmember theme. Your customizations should be done in copies, not the original. That way, if you have issues with your custom themes (and we all do when working on customization), you can switch back to the standard BP themes to see how things should work.

And, as we were talking about CSS issues in that private message and you stated that you had WordPress theming experience, I assumed you knew that the primary style file in BuddyPress, style.css, would need to reflect your new theme’s name.

If you were confused by my advice, I do apologize. But, if you had done what I advised, you would have made a copy of the original theme and altered the copy. As I stated in my private message response to you, do not alter the original theme files.

And if you use the same logo, you should change the same file in the bphome theme as well

I have the same problem as Bento, and I guess this has something to do with localization, considering everything works when I set language back to English in WPMU General Preferences.

So please, could someone look into this and suggest what to do, ’cause I really have no clue.

More info on the erratic behavior (again, if WPMU language is English everything works fine):

WPMU 2.7.1 – Buddypress 1.0 – default bphome & bpmember themes – WP_Lang it_IT

– Dates generally won’t be saved into the DB

– Some random dates, however, are saved, but off by 1 day (as per original message by Bento)

– Manually editing the DB shows the date in the Public Profile page

– When editing the profile after a manual DB edit, a month won’t be selected in the datebox (while day and year are)

– Months names (F) are translated in the datebox, still in English in the Profile Page

– Doesn’t matter what date format you set in WPMU preferences (be it F or m for the month)

(Edit: typos)

open up style.css, you need to modify the header (i.e. this section)

/*

Theme Name: BuddyPress Default Home Theme

Theme URI: http://buddypress.com/

Description: A widget framework theme for the home of a BuddyPress enabled installation. This theme is not required to use BuddyPress.

Jason, there is no “Invite Members” option. There is a ‘Send Invites”. Are you running bp 1.0 and the default 1.0 member theme?

Oh. Yep, I see it. Hang on a sec..

Well, no I don’t see it. If I have an existing group and all my friends are already members or I don’t have any friends then I get a message like that.

I just created a new group and bp displayed all my friends and allowed me to select those I wanted to invite. I invited some and all is fine.

I’m using bp 1.0 and the default home/member themes. Works for me.

Hello, Codyb

The SocialNetwork logo is named logo.gif, I think. You can find it in two places:

1. WP-Content > themes > buddypress-home > images and

2. WP-Content > bp-themes > buddypress-member > images.

Replace both with your desired logo and try.

We really need more people to start designing themes!

http://www.Freebpthemes.com has a theme competition running at the moment with some good prizes so hopefully people submit some nice designs!

Did you change the folder name of the theme or the name within the CSS? or both?

@ Atul Singhal

duplicate you /register.php in your buddypress-home theme,

(duplicate it to keep it as a backup)

towards the bottom of register.php you’ll see something like “do_bp_core_signup”

you can comment that out and replace it with the Iframe version of the rpx plugin

scrolling=”no” frameBorder=”no” style=”width:400px;height:240px;”>

</iframe>

‘

just change YOUR_SITE and WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE to your own token url

one issue I have with this on my site, is that the RPX plugin doesn’t gather much information… sometimes it will only get the email/username… sometimes the email is a “proxy mail email ” => @yahoo12343-proxymail.com (I haven’t confirmed this with all the 3rd party login providers)

this will effect how the notifications work… so you’ll proly want your landing page to have instructions to update their profile information

that should work

Hello Codyb,

There you have two websites where you can find some BP themes:

http://www.buddydress.com/

http://www.freebpthemes.com/

I’m happy, 1st time I can help someone there;-)

bento, using the default bp home theme and member theme this problem doesn’t exist. I just added a new date field to the user profile and it works fine. Not seeing the problem you described. Talk to the theme author.

I did the same thing as Dainismichel and I too am seeing no difference (the links still goto subdomain.domain.com/members etc instead of to the root domain urls). Please help, I would rather not have to hardcode the links in.

I’m developing a customised buddypress member theme and a directory view special for artists, musicians and multi media interested people.

This is my fun learning project to get deeper into wordpress and buddypress theme design and plugin development.

The hole website is still in beta mode. So don’t aspect it to work 100%

http://rheinrauschen.de (In the moment just firefox ie will come al last)

I will give the theme and plugin’s step by step to the community.

For this I have to wait for some bug fixes, the stable bp-events component. Better forum integration and many more….

Try bp_core_get_userurl or bp_core_get_userlink
