BuddyPress.org

Codyb-

Just for good measure, I would log into WPMU’s backend and reselect your bpmember theme. This has worked for some people.

If that does not work, then I’m afraid it’s back to square one. Delete everything, including your MySQL DB, download a new copy of WPMU and follow the install instructions for MU. Then, once WPMU is up and running, manually download BuddyPress, and follow the install instructions in the readme.txt file.

It sounds like a pain, but since this is a fresh install without any data worth keeping, it should go pretty quickly. Something must have gone wrong with your install.

Let me know how what happens.

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.

Once ready for use, log into WPMU’s backend and navigate to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”. You should see your newly-named theme as an option in the dropdown box. Select it, save, and you’re ready to go.

It’s worth doing and it is easy.

Sorry, still new to BuddyPress forums…

WPMU 2.71

BP 1.0

No custom themes

No 3rd party plugins

Not sure how to find errors in log files…

Since I can’t peer into this site’s base.css file for the theme I’m wondering how to change that attribute … ?

Ah, but you can!

For all CSS and template design issues, I highly recommend that you use the Firefox browser with the Firebug Add-on. WIth FIrebug installed in Firefox, you can see where page elements inherit their CSS–the file names, the file contents, etcetera. You can even make changes to the CSS selector parameters and see how that affects the design.

So, when you pull up any buddypress.org page, or any webpage at all, you can use Firebug within Firefox to see how the CSS selectors are styled.

The theme where this is located is in bpmember, not bphome. I’m just not firing on all cylinders today.

Are your instructions to show me how to do that?

Yes, you can make these edits in the bpmember theme directly. Just make sure that you have a backup before changing.

Also, please realize, that if you alter the standard themes and do not rename them, then the next you upgrade BuddyPress, you will lose your theme changes if you copy over the default themes.

Codyb-

Thanks for the detailed response!

A few more questions:

1. Did you copy over to WPMU’s root the .htaccess file that comes with the download?

2. Did you select the BuddyPress member theme in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”?

KitWit-

Okay, I’ve made a mistake. I did not even notice that you had linked to the members’ theme, not the home theme.

My widget is for the home them. What you’re asking about is not a widget. It is a coded into the /directories/members/index.php file in the bphome theme.

You can make your own custom theme, edit this out, and get what you want:

<div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php bp_the_site_member_last_active() ?></span></div>



<div class="field-data">

<div class="field-name"><?php bp_the_site_member_total_friend_count() ?></div>

<div class="field-name xprofile-data"><?php bp_the_site_member_random_profile_data() ?></div>

</div>

Just make sure to place your custom theme in the proper place and then select it in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”

Okay, before we can assist further, we need more information. Please answer these questions:

1. You’re positive that you’re running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP?
2. Assuming the answer to number 1 is yes, then did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
3. Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
4. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
5. Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?

you just need to edit your Members-Theme and move the “post to wire box/function” to where you want it.

bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/index.php

on the very bottom of the page, you’ll see an IF statement “bp_wire_get_post_list”

just move that where you want it, be sure to keep it in the right DIVs

Hi again

I made some mistakes:

– asume that the upgrade from RCx to v1 was simply copying files over the old ones and didn’t noticed the change in the setup procedure to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress

– Also is posible that as my MU base was 2.7 it messed a bit too

– Tampering the themes fields in the db with a non ortodox setup

I started the intall process all over and it works fine again.

As a final test I tried to swap the old DB for the new one but I get again messages like the BP_PLUGIN_DIR path.

Just if helps …

Regards,

I’m having the same issue but with Activities when starting up in:

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘BP_PLUGIN_DIR/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) …www/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-activity.php on line 14

I “ugraded” from RC1 to v1 but failed. Then I removed everything except WPMU & wp-config.php, as the DB was ok. Copied BP, moved the themes and got the message.

I tried to reset the themes in db to bpmember and bphome without success.

you would edit your bp bp-themes/ or theme/buddypress-home/

depending on where you want it.

you could also add the “tweet” stuff directly to the functions.php file

/themes/buddypress-home/home.php

(the above is the home page, which calls the left,center,right sidebars)

you could manually insert your code there.

there’s a few different way to do that…. some would say creating a plugin/function/bp-custom code is the best

Just replaced the 6 instances of get_option(‘home’) in header.php of my member blog theme with $bp->root_domain as described.

Don’t see any difference in the behavior of the site.

Really impressed with delsolownersclub wow. great work.

I’d love to turn this into a procedure for the community, but I don’t know how to do it yet. Stuck here too: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1632&page=2&replies=43#post-14553

Best,

I remember Andy said he would fix this in a different post. Althrough I do not think this has been resolved in the latest skeleton theme yet.
