Looks like you need to upgrade your BP theme. Change to bp-default theme to double-check.

BuddyPress Private Community is in the Fail list here https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/, however the error listed in this table seems to be for another plugin.

When I install Private Community, it does create a php error, but I found this error is not created by the plugin, but by a BuddyPress bug described here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-private-community-when-clicking-on-a-protected-page-i-get-error.

I have made the fixes described for this bug, and Private Community now seems to be working, although I am still testing.

I am looking to do the same thing but no luck in figuring out how.

Each member having their own blog with it’s own theme seems to fragment the community I’m trying to build.

Basically I would like for members to become “contributors” to the main blog. They are the author of that blog post and get credit for it and their profile will show a list of all posts they’ve made. would also like to be able to use some sort of front end posting.

Yes. This means that Custom Community Theme needs to be upgraded. And the good news is that the theme devs have submitted their updated version compatible with BP 1.5 to the WordPress Theme repo. Probably will be updated after undergoing theme review by end of next week latest.

I have spent a little time porting this plugin over to BP 1.5, so that it now enables a profile banner image to be uploaded just like a Facebook timeline.

The inject_css function targets the div#item-header container (in the bp-default theme), however there are a couple of functions that are needed to make the user experience smooth and trouble free;

1. add a crop function after image has been uploaded, but before new header is displayed (I’m taking a look at the standard bp-default header customisation to see if we can adapt this), but would welcome any suggestions.

2. the delete function really needs to be javascript enabled with a bit of ajax, in the same way that ‘Delete My Avatar’ functions within ‘Change Avatar’. It doesn’t make sense for a user to select the (delete) radio button and then upload an empty input field.

3. I’ve noticed that the bp_core_add_message is not being cleared after a successful upload – any suggestions on how this can be fixed?

4. ideally for non coders the plugin would need an admin page to customise the ‘inject_css’ parameters to suit the theme. I have mine set as a single image (background:url() no-repeat scroll left top transparent), but some themes might wish to allow the choice of repeating a background image, or even providing for some CSS3 gradient fill code.

So, apart from adding image cropping and a bit of javascript it’s pretty much ready. If anyone is able to offer suggestions on the above fixes, I’ll wrap it up and fork it back onto github.

Just so we can be on the same page.. are you using a child theme you created or are you using an already created one? Is it a child theme of the default theme?

Have you made sure in the style.css of the child there is the following:


Template: bp-default


This assumes that the child is the default theme, if not that bp-default should be the name of the parent theme.

Disable the custom header functionality on the default BuddyPress theme:
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );

@david carson

I’m really enjoying the theme.
I’ve done a few modification for the mobile theme to make it fit better.

the css I modified:

I was wondering if you had a way of adding the My acount and notifications tab to the main menu bar? any ideas how to do that. I manage to do it but then the css style is all fucked up.

== after installation the side bar show up on normal pages i created but when i go to any of the buddypress pages the sidebar shows up below the page ==
@dsg257 you have to complete Step Three of the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

Here’s a walkthrough of BP template pack for Twenty Eleven theme using the second method of Step Three which could help you. Let me know if you need further assistance.

== I am contemplating creating a Roots based BP theme in the near future though. ==
@Mike84 Cool. Do consider submitting a free version with the WP theme repo https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/about/

== Is there a list of working 1.5 plugins yet == https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ I’ve been using BP Gallery myself since Feb 2010

Cheers.

Custom Community theme needs to be updated to be compatible with BP 1.5. The new version of the theme is being reviewed for the WP theme repository at this time but Sven and Konrad same version at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community

Sitewide forums – using bbPress 2.0
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-faq
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Sure, there’s bound to be some conflict with two kinds of bbPress forums installed – Group-centric and Sitewide. Could be a bug.
– First thing, are both using the “forums” slug? You’d need to change the slug of either the Group one or the Sitewide one.
– Second, deactivate the sitewide forum by deactivating bbPress 2.0 plugin and change to bp-default theme. See if you can post topic to the correct group forum.

== i got a message to the tune ” you cannot edit this file” ==
At this time, WP prevents theme editor for BP-default child themes. So you should download bp-default theme’s footer.php to your computer and edit it there. After you edit and save footer.php, upload it to your server via FTP/cpanel, etc. wp-content/themes/name-of-your-child-theme-folder/

BP 1.5? Have you checked if your theme has been updated to be compatible with BP 1.5? Change to bp-default theme and see if it works.

I started a style.css from scratch, but I was not sure what to put in the Theme URI so just copied the buddypress default and added my child themes name at the end.

I was not sure what to put in the Author URI so again just copied the buddypress default Author URI

hope this helps
