BuddyPress.org

Deactivate s2member and change to bp-default theme. If issue is resolved, then you should either contact theme author or s2-plugin author.

@PeeJii You cannot make it work because the other theme has a different HTML structure. What theme are you using? You would need to post the following: page.php, index.php, header.php and footer.php source codes.

I am just asking here, since I am wondering a lot here. Why do you want the changing of profile avatar, to be in the “theme my login” plugin?

@MikeTime360 I recall Sayontan mentioning that the theme had around 200+ options or so and so it might be a conflict with some of queries/options he already has in the theme. You should search in the theme’s forums or post there instead. What I posted above is for child theme of bp-default.

http error 500 usually means issue with server or sometimes .htaccess file and sometimes memory limits, etc. Check .htaccess file (compare with this). You might also need to increase memory limit (or ask tech support) from 32MB to 64MB

I’ve installed WP Multisite with BuddyPress using custom bp-default child themes in Quarter01/Quarter02 this year with IXwebhosting for two private communities each using Unlimited Pro shared hosting plan and have no issues with the hosting so far to date. Those were private/closed registration for 200+ and 275+ members with 24 and 45 subdomain blogs respectlvely. If you have more members, open registration and more blogs, you’d need to upgrade to VPS or Cloud Hosting plan either at IXweb or elsewhere.

Also, Mingle theme is for version BP 1.5 and WP 3.2.1 (as seen on theme demo site) and you’re on WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2. Instead of activating a new WP default theme, activate bp-default theme and clear cache.

@karmatosed Sounds Awesome! Cant wait

1. (not a core dev) but i think that really depends on the end quality, right? If it provides alot of value to buddypress and the community, i couldn’t see a reason it couldn’t be considered.
2. i personally prefer skeletons.
3. I wouldn’t mind either way…

On the topic of a new default theme: Why dont we make a Buddypress version of Twenty Twelve? (assuming 1.7 will be released in 2012).

Five reasons:
1. Keep default themes consistent with other WP Foundation projects (both bbpress and wordpress use themes from the Twenty’s series)

2. Alot of tutorials on the twenty’s themes get created

3. Plenty of child themes get created for the themes.

4. The themes are apparently reviewed by the Automattic team (I trust them. do you?)

5. It will already be half done… We will just need to create the buddypress specific stuff. Most of the theme-related bugs will be cleaned up by the wporg guys.

6. (Bonus reason) The theme’s name will ensure we dont let the theme get “grey hairs and become a little wrinkly” again

== What I want is that you can change the avatar from another site. ==
If your users have accounts with Gravatar.com (another site), the avatar will automatically appear in their user profiles.

== I prefer it to be in the plugin “theme my login”. ==
You’d have to ask plugin author if he could make Theme My login plugin compatible with BuddyPress which is not exactly easy.

As activity updates and private messaging are deactivated in this site, BuddyPress.org, it could very well be that you mean that the problems you listed above are happening in your site where you installed BuddyPress.

If it is your installation you are referring to above, what WP/BP versions are you on? Have you tried the basic trouble-shooting methods like changing to bp-default theme and if issue is not corrected, deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

If you built a child theme and copied template file/s over from bp-default to your child theme folder, you’d like to see what template files have been changed from one version to another. e.g. BP 1.2.9 to BP 1.5 changelog you could see what template files were changed. Then change only the BP template file/s you have in your child theme which have been affected. Take extra time to watch out for changes in bp-default theme’s functions.php and _inc/css/default.css as well.

== BP and/or BB is very aggressive with its use of its own css and designed to use it, which creates problems even with other mature themes ==
Both plugins enqueue stylesheets. BP previously used `@ import` – see https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/#changes

Also, there have been template changes from BP 1.2 to BP 1.52, and you might have a BP theme or bp-default child theme which imported template files which need to be updated – see https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme

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

– Within child theme folder, create a folder named groups, and copy over the groups-loop.php from bp-default theme into the groups folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php

– Open up that groups-loop.php and replace
“
with
“

– Save and upload child theme folder e.g. bp-dusk to wp-content/themes/

@Harty do build a child theme for bp-default so your changes won’t be overwritten when BuddyPress is updated.

== it had more warnings (if I remember correctly, it was mostly warnings, not requirements) than I had time to even read up to understand them all. ==
Just to let you know that warnings/requirements listed in theme check are cause for rejecting a theme being submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository. Btw, Log Deprecated Notices plugin show up results in backend sometimes after clicking through 8-10 different theme pages in front end.

== If I just used BBpress forums for now…would I encounter similar issues? ==
I wouldn’t know. But if that happens, you can always change to Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven theme and see if behavior is corrected.

Don’t wrap define in a function.

This is what i use in my functions.php
http://pastebin.com/t6TzFKVt

It will add the images into the gravatar list under settings/discussions that you can then set as default.

== And this is a forum? no answer ==
Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers living in different time zones.

Also, something is getting lost in translation. What exactly do you want to do? As far as I can gather from your posts, you want to move the avatar upload page into the user’s profile page, and that you want that page to be presented like the “theme my login plugin” options page? If that’s the case, it would be a rather complicated process and there’ s no plugin for what you want.

Update your Custom Community Pro theme.

@anniyan07 Thank you for sharing your solution. You need to revise the following files as well

/blogs/create.php
/members/single/settings/delete-account.php
/members/single/settings/general.php
/members/single/settings/notifications.php
/registration/activate.php

Updated list of files is available https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
