ParticipantHello Andrea_r
I just went farther with your solution to the members theme issue. Activated the newly created members theme even though it was blank in the preview window. It worked! The link buttons at the top of the page, Blog, Groups, Members,Blogs,and Home, broke as the username was inserted into the links. Hard coded the links in the header.php and that fixed that.
Thanks
Mark

InactiveOMG OMG OMG OMG! I fixed it!! I went back and looked at my error logs and I was getting
SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home/beerandb/public_html/wp-content” is writeable by group, referer: http://lasvegas.beerandblog.com/
I was also getting that for the bp-themes folder. So I changed them from 777 to 755. I also found that I had an old “members-themes” directory in wp-content, which I deleted. And viola! It’s all better

I looked into this stuff further because of these two threads. Thanks everyone for your help with this! First time I used this forum for help and it totally paid off!!

ParticipantThanks Andy, that makes good sense!

If I want to create another member section called “activity” in the navigation bar (not the admin-bar) what changes would I have to make to my theme?
My thoughts would be to add a new folder under “directories” in my theme folder called activity. (same place where the 3 other sections are located)
And id probably need to add something to the header.php as well where the navigation sections are located?

ParticipantEverything worked fine for me:
– news users are automatically added to the forum
– creating groups also creates a forum topic (not sure if I want that)
but the problem is, it doesn’t integrates the bbpress in the buddypress-theme. The forum is in its own theme (Kakumei).
Shouldn’t it integrate with buddypress?
Thanks,
Eddie

ParticipantHello Andrea_r
I just installed BuddyPress v 1.0 2 days ago to a new WordPress MU install. Got it running fine except for the member blog theme thing where members have the default WordPress MU theme. I followed your instructions above and copied the bphome theme, changed the theme name, changed the style.css file header name from home to blogs and deleated the home.php file. I moved this new theme to /wp-content/themes folder and activated the theme. But when I go to a members dashboard and click on the theme to activate it, it comes up blank in the preview window.
Any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks Mark

ParticipantGood idea, Andy. The theme on this site is smoking!
Think I’ll try my hand at “skeletar”
May 3, 2009 at 4:47 pm #44266jfcarter
ParticipantThat happened to me up to RC-2; I had to rename the buddypress-member directory as buddypress-home (and kept it in bp-themes) and it worked perfectly.
It appears that this has been fixed in 1.0, which I am testing right now.

KeymasterThe home theme controls the front page, and any blog pages in the root blog. It’s essentially just a blog theme with a front page that is emtpy, ready for widgets. Everything else is controlled by the BuddyPress member theme.

ParticipantThanks for helping jeff.
Say I have a site containing some of the same sections as on this site and the standard buddypress theme:
Home | About | Blog | Members | Groups | Blogs | Profile (users profile)
The BP-home theme (regular wordpress theme) would that be controlling the ‘Home’, ‘About’ and ‘Blog’ sections?
While Bp-member theme would be controlling sections like ‘Members’, ‘Groups, ‘Blogs’ and the ‘Profile’ section for each user?
Or is it the bp-home theme that controls all the sections. Meaning ill just have to integrate buddypress tags/loops to the different pages that I create on my bp-home theme?

KeymasterMake sure you have re-selected the member theme in “BuddyPress > General Settings” and hit the save button, even if it is already selected.

ParticipantAs lot of people said in this forum, making a theme like that is really simple if you use the skeleton theme, it’s just css.
Integrate this theme as andy did is more difficult

Participanti’ve the same issue: only the home page is displayed, but members, groups, profile pages…everything leads to a 404. I’m testing it locally with XAMPP.
I’ve made a manual upgrade, and i’m using default themes both for home and profiles.
this is the path of the theme i’m using: wp-content bp-themes bpmember
note: i’ve tried the solutions posted here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2457 with no success
note: i’m running the wpmu 2.71 zip (downloaded 1 hour ago)

I thought that was the case! I just wanted to make sure and also to ensure that others reading this recognize that there is a big difference between the two skeletons.
Yes. converting to v1.2 will be necessary. There are a lot of changes and some bug fixes.
Good luck!

ParticipantYeah Jeff, I understand. I\’m trying to figure out why my component is showing up on the home page but not on the same exact theme, but under a users sub-domain. I guess the only thing I can do is convert it to v1.2.

ParticipantBeLogical-
I am on skeleton component v1.1 and not v1.2.
Just to make sure, you do realize that we are talking about themes and not plugins here?
You are talking about the Skeleton Component for developing a custom plugin, not designing a custom theme. For a custom theme, you would want to use the Skeleton Theme.
Assuming that we are on the same page, then yes, there are significant differences between version 1.1 and version 1.2 of the Skeleton Component. You need to use the newest version. See the changes here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/

ParticipantThere’s two.
And there’s a skeleton member theme here to start your own theme from.

Participant” so we’re left with two choices: 1) Switch to WPMU/BP or 2) Install WPMU/BP in a subdirectory.
My first question is this: Am I right about our two choices above?”
Yes.
Switching the whole thing over to WPMU is actually not so bad. The biggest worry there is plugins. Depending on what ones they are, and which ones are a dealbreaker, you will need to test them somewhere ahead of time before even deciding which option to pick.
posts, comments, users, the theme itself and ad placement – ALL those can be *exactly* the same in WPMU.
“The only drawback we have with installing WPMU/BP in a subdirectory is that we’d lose the ability to pull in BP features onto the homepage of our current site such as recent blog activity, avatars, etc. Is that correct or is there some way for the two to communicate even if on separate installs?”
Actually, you can do that. We did it here on http://wanderlustandlipstick.com, a client site. Note it’s not a BP site, but the main site is a single WP install and the WPMU part is under /blogs/. With some lightweight custom code, we pulled in avatars & recent posts to the front of the main blog.
Overall, your choices are pretty much 50/50. The big kicker here is how you want your URLs to be formed in the end.
If you want or don’t care about an extra folder name in the URL where WPMU will live, then it may be “easier” to have it as an add-on, and share databases to share users.
Personally, I’d lean towards moving the whole site to WPMU. Do the move in a dev environment, then in a low-traffic time planned ahead with full notice, make the switch to the new WPMU site (at the same URL basically).

InactiveI think the skeleton is an unstyled CSS file to use for reference when building a custom Member theme. So it should look like there’s no CSS.

ParticipantI have the same kind of problem with the ‘Members’, ‘Groups’ and ‘Blogs’ page. Its like these pages are not hooked up with the CSS. I only have this problem when using the latest Skeleton member theme thou. If I use the standard bpmember theme there\’s no problem. Why is that? Problems with the latest Skeleton theme on BP 1.0? :>
May 2, 2009 at 11:12 pm #44206Andrea Rennick
ParticipantYeah, it may need some further tweaking to grab the right URL.

InactiveIn addition to my CSS file not loading on Member profile pages
– I noticed that the Newest/Active/Popular ajax links aren’t loading either on Members widget on http://www.beerandblog.com/
– My images are uploading (I see them in the blogs.dir), but they aren’t displaying when called by a page.
Could these all be be due to .htaccess issues? Here’s my current .htaccess
