BuddyPress.org

Hey, Actually I did find it after I posted the last message. Thanks. All this time, I thought the member theme was for individual blogs.

Did you read this document?

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/

It looks like the options bar is showing up on the directory pages when it shouldn’t – most likely because I forgot to add a hide function. All the other pages are working fine. I will update this.

Closing this as the first post is now out of date.

Maybe, naming the member themes into ‘member profile theme ‘and the other into ‘blogs theme’ profile themes would make things clear.

Kitwit, that worked thanks. However, I am still confused about where the bpmember theme is used and where the bphome theme is used. Right now, I just changed the base.css files for both themes.

Thanks Kitwit, Ill try this out. I guess you have to change this for both the member and home theme?

If no one else looks at this by tomorrow, I’ll check it out and see if I can figure out what’s wrong.

Can we take a step back and make sure that the included bpmember theme works the way that it should?

The documentation/codex area provides a ton of documentation that can help you with all of these things, but there is no magic button you can press to make this happen.

There are dozens of functions and loops that need to be installed and addressed on several files and themes to make all of BuddyPress work the way it does. All we can do is document them for you, and let you give it a try yourself. It’s up to the growing audience of BP developers to start creating themes for 1.0, and that will eventually happen, I guarantee it.

If you’re in over your head and desperate for a theme asap, it may be time to hire someone to help you out. If you’re not looking for custom functionality and simply want a revamped BP theme, I might suggest joining the WordPress developers mailing lists and asking some WP professionals for assistance. Otherwise right now we’re pretty lenient about users asking for specific requests here (meaning we will lock the topic but we won’t delete it or spam it.)

Hi

I have bought some great premium wordpress themes and I want to upgrade one to use for Buddypress 1.0 post RC2 release. I can use the skeleton for the members profile.

What I need are the hooks to turn a wordpress theme into a Buddypress theme.

I think this was available for RC1 but with the changes to RC2+ we will need the updated hooks.

I have searched for this but can’t seem to find it.

Any suggestions.

Regards

Mark

Saraswati11, are you saying that when viewing the member theme area, looking at the directory listings, the userbar and optionsbar are showing?

The image is located in two places:

/wp-content/themes/bphome/images/logo.gif

/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/images/logo.gif

There shouldn’t be any clipping if you create the new image with the same dimensions as the existing image: 214×29 pixels.

As the first step in helping you solve this issue, please go back and read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” in the first post of this thread and verify that you have taken the proper steps.

Okay a few additional questions:

1. Are you logging into WPMU’s backend as the site administrator, and not just as a user with administrator privileges?
2. You’ve mentioned 404 erros in your other thread. Are there any errors in your log files? If so, what are they?
3. Did you go to “BuddyPress > General Settings”, re-select the member theme, and then hit save? Do this even if the theme is already selected.

I swear that you\’re talking about 2 separate things.

When activating the home theme, you will first use \”Themes\” to enable it. Then, you go to Appearance, click the theme and you get the big popup where you click activate.

When activating the profile (member) theme, there is no screen shot. Only a pull down menu.

So your statement of \”whenever I try to load the BP theme itself after activating it the large screenshot that comes up just says \”You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.\” seriously confuses me.

That error should only be coming up on the profile page. i.e. nacdb.com/members/members/admin

Also, could you enable registration of username & blogs so that anyone attempting to help can sign up for an account if need be.

This is the same issue as the one being discussed in another thread. To get the best support, the discussion should be kept to that single thread. Otherwise, new people joining in will not see what has previously been discussed and tried.

So as not to spread this identical support issue over multiple threads, I’m closing this thread. Please visit the original thread here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2511

Mine is doing something similar, I think.

WPMU was installed first… worked fine, tested some blogs and users.

Installed BP via the Plugins installer… activated it sitewide, no errors.

Moved (not copied) the bp-themes folder …

Put BP Home theme into themes directory & activated it for the home blog.

Results: none of the links in the My Account dropdown work — all point to

http://blogsite.ca/members/blogname/…

… when our WPMU is set up to have the blog name at the beginning, like:

http://blogname.blogsite.ca

Modifying the My Account addresses (manually, for testing) to this doesn’t work, either:

http://blogname.blogsite.ca/members/blogname/… OR

http://blogname.blogsite.ca/members/…

That, and the homepage for our site no longer shows a blog page, but a login page — and it doesn’t accept my login & password combo (which worked just fine to get into the Dashboard for my blog).

I got it, first I applied your fix, then reverted back to my original settings, now it works. This may have happened if all themes were disabled except bp-home, just guessing though, i’m not going to try to reproduce.

What’s weird to me is that your home page (nacdb.com/members) has the profile index. It’s almost as though you’ve got bpmember in the wp-content/themes directory.

Yep – I’m at a loss. Hopefully JJJ or one of the other brilliant minds here can sort it out for you.
