Yes, there have been changes to the theme in 1.6. If I recall, they’re pretty minor. I’ll make sure we details what’s new once we get a changelog written up.

Hello,

You can try to add this in the functions.php of your active theme :

function henry_restrict_access_admin_panel(){
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ( $current_user->user_level <  1 ) {

$redirect = bp_core_get_user_domain( $current_user->ID );

wp_redirect( $redirect );
exit;
}
}
add_action('admin_init', 'henry_restrict_access_admin_panel', 1);

Have a look at the member-header.php file in bp-default theme. It documents how to add fields.

Follow those instructions to add them in the member-header equivalent in your child or standalone theme… or add them in an action hooked on to bp_profile_header_meta

In theory you can use any theme but you’d have to use the template pack https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to add the files you need which is what that link valuser supplied does. To be honest, it’s going to take some work / adjusting it’s a case of not knowing how much until you do it really.

If you are not comfortable with doing this then I’d personally recommend you also have a look at some BuddyPress themes. You can purchase themes for BuddyPress with all the support and bells and whistles of WordPress ones so perhaps that would be an option. There are also a number of very feature full and robust free themes for BuddyPress. https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/

There are great volunteers on this forum. When they have the time, I am sure they will assist you.

1) Disable user registration in WordPress, and create user accounts manually via the wp-admin screens.

2) This is default WordPress multisite behaviour.

3) You will need some kind of front-end posting form for your theme(s).

You need to ask about this in theme’s support forum http://www.studiopress.com/support/

I do not give support for added plugins. I do not test with any added BuddyPress plugins unless explicitly stated. Your best bet is to remove the add actions from the mobile theme where the added plugins are placing code to strip your site down to bare essentials. This is generally a good idea for mobile UX.

The next version of the plugin will not allow added plugins to be used unless I make sure they work. This will be to avoid posts like this. I can’t support every iteration of site that BuddyPress wills. Having individual sites is great but that is because BuddyPress plugin developers are creating plugins for BP. No one as of yet has contacted me to say they want to add the mobilized version of their plugin to support BP mobile. That being said i’m making it so BP plugin devs can add the mobile template files themselves to their plugin. It’s a win for you and me as I won’t have to support every plugin my self.

Switch to the bp-default theme, deactivate your plugins – reactivate each one individually and test after each one to isolate the problem

No. child themes do not work like that. BP columns is a bp-deafult child theme

Ok, to set new fields for your members you should read the paragraph ‘Optional: Set Profile Fields’ of this tutorial
http://wpmu.org/the-illustrated-guide-to-installing-and-setting-up-buddypress-1-5/

if you mean login in with email, then you can try this interesting plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email-login/

then you can add a function in the functions.php file of your active theme to change the label of the sidebar login form :

add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'bp_login_by_email_adapt_login_form');

function bp_login_by_email_adapt_login_form() {
?>

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
usernameoremail = $("#sidebar-user-login").parent().html().replace(/Username/ig, 'Username or email' );
$("#sidebar-user-login").parent().html(usernameoremail);
});

<?php
}

or if you’re using a child theme of BP-default theme, you can add/edit the template sidebar.php and replace the label for=sidebar-user-login by Username or email.

hi @enderpal444

I think i would use BP members loop to do what you want to do as you can send meta_key to BP_Core_User::get_users. Then i would take benefit of the filters included in the 2 sql to change its behavior. This is what i’ve tried to add a filtering by geo position to the main BP Members directory. I guess you’ll need to ask Roger and Paul about efficiency…

in the functions.php of my active theme > http://pastebin.com/2HKsSZCc

i tried to have a ‘one pass’ approach
