BuddyPress.org

Does it require any theme changes from 1.6?

@formbi I don’t know what theme you’re using, but almost all of the updated themes have custom menus which you can configure via Appearance > Menuw https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

@kristarella yes, it happens once in a while, sorry about that. Please do post here which plugin/theme interfered with account deletion in BP 1.6 when you find out.

== that is much more complicated job. ==

@rogercoathup true. Until such a time that someone releases it (free or paid), the next best thing are WP bootstrap themes with the template pack plugin

== Would be nice to see alternative UI elements for the presentation of dynamic elements of BuddyPress ==

It will be easier (relatively) come BP 1.7 but it would still involve an investment of not inconsiderable time.

Not sure if ThemeKraft team is aware of this one.

I’m using:
WP 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6
Frisco Theme

I’ve just installed your SeoPress plugin and Group Forum topics got messed.
It allows to create new topics, shows them, but doesn’t allow to delete or even consider it as existing.

Once one topic is created and viewing it on its topic page, title doesn’t show and instead shows (0 Posts). When deleted, gives a not found page.

Deactivating the plugin everything gets normal.

Looking for the updated version of this wonderful plugin.

Hi, I kind of got hit in the face for 20 points by pop ups when I first clicked to view your site – that may unfortunately be a little off putting to users as a first stage.

Looks nice and clean though. I would maybe suggest some colour splashes to build on from the logo. I really dig a bit of personality in communities and a gaming community could be a real good chance for this.

You’ve got a great foundation though using the theme you are and wish you all the best with your community.

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/wallow/

D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.

@manswab As mentioned above, based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your wallow theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your wallow theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

Switching to a theme on the basic Bootstrap grid is one thing.

I think the original poster is also wanting to change all the dynamic AJAX / jQuery based elements on BuddyPress to the Bootstrap jQuery components — that is much more complicated job.

Would be nice to see alternative UI elements for the presentation of dynamic elements of BuddyPress — not sure who’s going to fund it!

@manswab I didn’t get the notification I’ll take a look at it in a little while.

@kristarella @shanezoom BP 1.6 version? kristarella, sounds like your install is an old one which has been upgraded and shanezoom, your install sounds like a new one if I’m not mistaken

RE users cannot delete their own accounts
– For BP 1.6, go to Settings > BuddyPress -> Settings and make sure that “Account Deletion” is not checked, otherwise your users are prevented from deleting that account. However, a Super/site admin can delete an account anytime.

RE Cannot redeclare add_user error
– I’ve seen this happen with theme and/or plugin conflicts. Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

@stevedmma aside from creating your own bp-default child theme, you can also use a regular WP theme and make it compatible with BuddyPress via BP Template Pack plugin. We have “template-packed” more than 75 WP themes in list -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

You can used my child theme its only for the BP-Default theme it adds this functionality.

@mairaj

– Create a bp-default child theme -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– Copy header.php from bp-default theme to your child theme folder then remove the search div from the header.php in you child theme folder
– Create a Page Template -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates and add the code your deleted from header.php replacing the_content tag and upload to your child theme folder in server
– Pages > Add New and title it whatever you want then choose the template in sidebar then make it private, Admin can access that page anytime.

@anaxent There are no bootstrap themes based on the bp-default theme AFAIK. There are however a large number of “bootstrapped” WordPress themes — http://wpmu.org/7-free-twitter-bootstrap-themes-for-wordpress/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/the-bootstrap — which could be made compatible with BuddyPress by using the BP Template Pack plugin and going through the compatibility process and fixing alignment.

Hi @all, we testet the issues and could not reproduce them. The theme works just fine with a child theme as well. We can’t guarantee it works with modified child themes, as we don’t know what are the changes.

Do you use a child theme? If so, please check if the issue still exists if you switch to the parent theme.

Also, please make sure you have all other plugins disabled (except BuddyPress), to make sure this error does not arise from a plugin conflict.

I recommend against downgrading unless you have a database backup from the old version of BuddyPress. In 1.6, we changed how the BP DB version number is stored in the database, and adjusted the schema of the Activity table.

I suspect running a 1.6-versioned database against a 1.5-site will cause BuddyPress to think it’s not installed, and force you to run through the install wizard again (as it’s already installed, of course, I’m not sure what would happen). It’s then possible you would have problems updating to a 1.6+ version of BP in the future because we’ve changed where/how the BP DB version number is stored in the database.

We’ve got a 1.6.1 coming out very soon, which fixes compatibility with plugins and themes that were doing things wrong before, in ways that we didn’t anticipate when we touched parts of the code in 1.6. The most common themes with problems — Salutation and Custom Community — have already or will soon release updated versions of those themes to work with 1.6, too.

1stAngel: if you’re using the Salutation theme, update to the latest version. Otherwise, which theme are you using?

@zkwc are you using the bp-default theme or a child theme of bp-default theme?

@indieconnect curious why it’s borking in Chrome in your installation. What theme are you using? What plugins are activated?
