BuddyPress.org

@nahummadrid In general, template files used:
1. index.php file – move link to author into post meta then replace the author-box div with your new post thumbnail div
2. functions.php – add support for post thumbnail
3. theme’s stylesheet – add styles (e.g. float: left;) to your post thumbnail div and margin for your post title, post meta and post content
4. (optional) archive.php, tags.php, category.php, search.php etc.

== I also double checked to see if it was a theme issue or not ==
What theme are you using? WP/BP versions? Did you install WP via webhost script or manually e,g. via FTP? Have you done basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to bp-default theme?

@mrlobaloba clear cache. It’s working now http://lavori.italianproplayers.com/attivita/ with bp-default theme

@teorourke you need to go through Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process i.e., change/adjust the HTML structure of the BP template files transferred to your theme’s folder to the HTML structure of your WP Swagger theme.

If you need assistance, open up your swagger theme’s header.php, copy all, paste at pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

@gospelcast this topic has been marked as resolved. Please start a new topic for your issue. Include the info you posted above as well as: WP/BP versions, Linux or Windows hosting; single WP or WP multisite installation; theme used, and whether you went to Settings > Permalinks and set it to other than default and saved; etc.

@mrlobaloba Please do not post admin login in these forums. That username and password have been compromised and I deleted it from your posts in this thread. I recommend that you delete that user in your installation now.

It might just be a theme issue. Change theme of http://lavori.italianproplayers.com/ to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected. If not, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress.

Great site! what theme is that?

Hi Chris..thank you very much ..
I m not a php expert..I just added this code to line up the admin bar with the content body in this theme (centering admin bar)..I do not know whether it was wrong..
#wp-admin-bar .padder {
width: 69% !important;

maybe you can show me the right way for this..

thanks for your time again..

@gajananh999 It is possible. It’s rare to find something that’s not possible The real question is “how difficult?”

The BuddyBoss commercial theme has implemented a feature that attaches an upload button to the activity updates post form – SEE: http://buddyboss.com/

Theirs also afew plugins that adds photo uploading, such as BP Albums – SEE: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ but they are independent of the activity updates post form.

Change slug of Friends – create a new Page named, e.g. Amigos, and the new URL will be http://yoursite.com/members/pauljr670/amigos/ instead of http://yoursite.com/members/pauljr670/friends/

Use language translation file to change all instances of friends in theme https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@qrahaman The following will flatten the comment replies. See testbp.org/activity where I added five replies to the comment of serenapumipi

Add to child theme’s stylesheet
`div.activity-comments ul li > ul {
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}`

@jaredvd please clarify, main navigation here in buddypress.org or testbp.org or with bp-default theme?

@qrahaman nested comments in blog posts or activity stream? The nesting for both is done via CSS only for bp-default theme and most other themes.

Ok, well as I assumed you didn’t want to go the show on page front (settings>reading) and want to include the registration page and also other content. There are 2 approaches.

1. Simply show on front and add content to registration page.. If that’s the case under settings > reading you can set to registration (or whatever your registration page is called). You can then add your extra content if want to right there on the page and even format that as you want your homepage to be.

2. Port the form code and registation page contents into your theme index.php. So, what you’d look at registration/register.php (in bp-default theme). That will show you the registration format and you can just port that into your home page. You will want to clean this all up though when you do and remove the content divs and other things that won’t fit your theme.

If you’re not happy coding though that ajax registration may be the way for you to go.

I’ve seen this twice happen and once it was due to a scripting clash and the other time was due to using older versions of files than the BuddyPress being used.

Can I just get a clarification of what BuddyPress version you are using and if the theme you are using (even if custom) has been updated for that? Also, if possible as a ‘sanity check’ could you test using the default BuddyPress theme? Just so we have a baseline.

Hi, it all depends on what you want to do really there are a number of ways you can have registration on the fornt end:

1. Customisation to load the register.php contents there (done in theme files) – literally have the form there in the page.
Or perhaps…
2. Something like this: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-ajax-registration/

I’m not clear though if you are looking to put the entire form or just some fields.

@o4tuna Re: Themes and BP – Ways to have a BuddyPress-compatible theme

1. Create a child theme of bp-default theme – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. Make your regular WP theme compatible with BP via BP Template Pack Plugin – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ – includes list of “Template-Packed” WP themes in latter part of the page

3. Install a WP theme with explicit BuddyPress-support e.g. Elbee Elgee – https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/elbee-elgee – this theme already includes BP template files

4. Plugin purchase – Premium themes more often require purchase of a plugin so you could use their themes with BuddyPress – e.g. Genesis, Pagelines, etc.

RE: Do the regular WP plugins still work with BP?

In general, yes. BuddyPress is also a WP plugin. There are rare conflicts with AJAX, JS, etc.
