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

<iframe src=”https://buzzwe.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=http%3A%2F%YOUR_SITE.com%2F%3Frpx_response%3D1%26goback%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252FYOUR_SITE.com/WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE&#8221;

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

It doesn’t seem to work anymore with the new RC2 … Any idea to make a link to a member profile from a WP theme please ?

Toni is using the P2 theme. You can get it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2

Rather than trying some fancy install via packaged tarballs, I’d suggest a plain, simple install from scratch. Even though you went back and, as you state, “tried to do a more careful replacement of the files,” try a clean-slate install.

Delete everything, including your MySQL DB–assuming you don’t have any important data. Then, download and install WordPress Mu 2.7.1 from here. Get it working before attempting to install BuddyPress.

Once it is working, download BuddyPress and follow the readme.txt instructions.

Looks like this is happening to a lot of sites

I understand your frustration. But, when I search Google for “Failed+opening+required+’BP_PLUGIN_DIR”, I can count exactly 6 actual sites with this error and then several comments within blog posts that indicate the same issue.

Combine that with the half a dozen reports in the BP Forums for this issue, and you get maybe 15 people–assuming none of these people have commented in multiple places. That is not “a lot of sites”.

Okay, never mind, I’m a moron! I had not activated the Buddypress plugin.

Looks like this is happening to a lot of sites:

I ran into this same error message this morning. In case it helps, here’s how it happened to me.

I had MU 2.7 installed on a ubuntu server and MU 2.7 also installed on a local dev installation of ubuntu (both 8.10, if that matters). I upgraded the dev MU to 2.7.1, then installed buddypress. worked great. then I tarred up the dev installation, copied it over to the server, and overwrote the old 2.7 MU non-buddypressed install with the dev files. Ran the upgrade (at http://veryhandso.me/wp-admin/wpmu-upgrade-site.php). Tried to preview the buddypress theme and end up with the error mentioned above.

I then backed up and tried to do a more careful replacement of the files as outlined on the upgrading wordpress page (https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress). Still no love.

Thanks for any help. Grateful newbie.

Look for this line of code in the header.php files of both your bphome and bpmember themes:

<div id="search-login-bar">

<?php bp_search_form() ?>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>



<div class="clear"></div>

</div>

Okay, I just fired up the default bphome theme and see that what you’re trying to change is indeed the standard CSS setup. So, once again, you get to create a custom theme!

Follow the same procedure as before. Make a backup of the standard bphome theme, rename it to something new, and make the changes I’ve outlines above. They should flow through to your customized bpmemebr theme as well!
